Our modern design metal balustrade Top-Fix method has more connections into the top and underside of the steel frame, so can deliver higher loading performance up to 1.5kN commercial requirements (as proven in independent load-testing to a test rig at our Rochester HQ earlier this year).
The excellent performance of the Top-Fix option provides ample reassurance to specifiers, the result data is indicative only and loading performance for individual balcony designs is the ultimate responsibility of the balcony designer.
