The AliRail Vertical Infill Spindle Balustrade System is designed for easy installation and is supplied in pre-fabricated elevations. Full installation guides are available on www.alideck.co.uk.
AliRail is constructed completely from 100% aluminium (6063 T6 grade), up to 67% of which has been recycled to make this system eco-friendly and much better for the environment.
The AliRail Vertical Infill Spindle Balustrade System has been subjected to independent testing for load performance. The Plate Fix option achieved 0.74kn/m loading while the Top-Fix option achieved 1.5kn/m. Test result data is indicative only and loading performance for individual balcony designs is the responsibility of the balcony designer.
Due to the fact that AliRail is aluminium and finished using the 5 stage Qualicoat system, little or no maintenance is required. General grime can be removed simply with a damp, lint free cloth or mop with warm soapy water
AliRail is coloured using the Qualicoat powder coating finish. Qualicoat is a quality label organisation committed to maintaining and promoting the quality of coating on aluminium and its alloys for architectural applications.
AliRail is supplied with a 30 year warranty against splitting, cracking, warping, splintering, rotting, twisting and material or manufacturing defects. It has a minimum 60 year life expectancy.
AliRail is available in our full range of standard colours. Please refer to our Standard Colour Range datasheet for colour options (available at www.alideck.co.uk/downloads). Non-standard colours are available on request as special orders, but may affect cost and lead-time.

For steel cantilever balconies, the AliRail Vertical Infill Spindle Balustrade is available in two fixing options; Plate or Top-Fix. The subtle differences between these fixing-to-steel methods allow for accommodation of the widest range of balcony designs.
Supplied in kit-form, balustrade elevations are bespoke manufactured by AliDeck to client specification and can be shipped in balcony-specific despatch for excellent operational efficiencies on-site. With balustrade elevations simply fixed to steel framework, installation is quickly completed with rail corner internal connections and fitting of the handrail cover.
