Fixed to the front of the steel, the AliRail Vertical Infill plate-fix option allows for fewer connections into the steelwork and therefore less drilling is required.

This fixing option for our external metal balustrades achieves the residential balcony loading requirements, though, easily achieving the 0.74kN/m horizontal line load performance under test conditions.

The simplified connection detail means that installation is quick and easy, saving a huge amount of time on-site or at the balcony manufacturer’s factory.
