Downee adds architectural aluminium balustrading with glass to suit
April, 2009, Melbourne. A new range of aluminium architectural glass balustrading inclusive of the fixing systems, accessories and Australian Standards compliant toughened glass panels has been launched by the Downee division of the RMD Industries group.
The balustrading range is ideal for domestic, multi level or apartment type projects where there is a need for a modular system without the requirement for prefabrication to predetermined measurements.
For high rise projects the balustrading, accessories and glass panels can be flat packed and crane lifted or transported by lift to the desired level ready for installation.
The new Downee balustrading range comes in an extensive choice of fitments including single flanged posts for surface fixing, double flanged posts which are a twin post sharing the same flange, or in-ground posts with an extended base leg for core drill application.
Another structural option is side mounted flange posts which can be fixed to stringers or face fixed.
Optional accessories suited to individual site applications include joiners, end caps and 90 degree rail bends, so that a complete installation can be ordered in advance ahead of installation requirements.
The glass option is visually appealing 8 mm thickness toughened glass in a range of standard panel sizes which are all 910 mm in height but available in a range of panel lengths from 500 to 1200 mm in 100 mm increments.
Downee spokesman Bruce Allan said that with the features required for successful both high rise and domestic housing construction projects there is an increased focus on making maritime views or other scenic aspects a key feature of building projects.
“The Downee aluminium balustrading range provides a complete package to give an almost seamless outlook together with the strength required for installations without the need for prefabrication or predetermined measurements.”
