Introducing the AliRail Insight Glass 0.74kN Balustrade System – Fire Rated to A2-s1, d0
AliDeck is proud to unveil the new AliRail Insight Glass Balustrade System, our latest innovation designed with residential balconies in mind. Developed with the needs of steel fabricators, balcony manufacturers, developers, architects, and specifiers in mind, the AliRail Insight Glass system offers a perfect blend of aesthetic appeal, structural integrity, and compliance with modern safety standards.
Exceeding BS 6180:2011 Standards with AliRail
Engineered to surpass the stringent requirements of BS 6180:2011, the AliRail Insight Glass Balustrade System is capable of withstanding a 0.74kn/m horizontal line load, a 0.5kN infill point load, and a 1.0kN/m2 infill distributed load. This level of performance ensures that your projects not only meet but exceed the current safety standards, providing end-users with unparalleled peace of mind.
The AliRail Insight Glass system offers complete design flexibility while complying with the 2022 Approved Document B amendments, with the 19mm glass option achieving an A2 Fire Rating. These rules extend the ban on combustible materials for external surfaces of buildings over 11m, requiring A1 or A2, s1-d0 fire classifications to ensure materials are non-combustible or have limited combustibility.
BS 6399-1:1996 sets the standard for loadings on buildings, crucial for glass balustrade steel bolt-on balconies. It specifies that residential handrails must withstand 0.74kN per metre, ensuring safety without overcrowding. This standard impacts design, dictating that balconies must be robust enough to support significant weight, ensuring durability and compliance. Adhering to these guidelines is essential for architects and builders aiming for safety and regulatory compliance in residential projects.
Understanding the importance of time and efficiency in construction, the AliRail Insight Glass Balustrade System features a fast, top-mounted installation process. This innovation not only accelerates project timelines but also simplifies the installation process, allowing for seamless integration into any balcony design.
Durability Meets Design with
All-Aluminium Construction
Constructed entirely from aluminium, the frame of the AliRail system offers unmatched durability and longevity. Aluminium’s resistance to corrosion and environmental wear makes it the material of choice for projects demanding long-term performance without compromising on design aesthetics.
AliDeck is committed to advancing the standards of balcony design and construction. The AliRail Insight Glass Balustrade System embodies this commitment, offering our partners in the construction industry a product that meets the dual demands of modern aesthetics and rigorous safety standards.
We invite steel fabricators, balcony manufacturers, developers, architects, and specifiers to explore the benefits of the AliRail Insight Glass Balustrade System. Together, we can achieve new heights in residential balcony construction, creating spaces that are safe, beautiful, and built to last.
