Glass Balustrade

A custom manufactured handrail in any combination of available finishes and styles, complemented by 12mm (1/2"), 15mm (5/8") or 19mm (3/4") clear tempered glass, will ensure lasting beauty, safety and that distinctive look so desirable in any décor.



AUSTVISION Balustrade Fittings

Design

A visionary design, the Austvision Spider System incorporates stylish, high quality, maintenance free stainless steel fittings.

Fittings are available in standard satin or polished finish and in gold, brass or powdercoat by request.

The Austvision Spider fitting is supplied with cast-in slots for flexible vertical and horizontal adjustment.


Technical

Austvision Spider fitting 444/2 is designed to carry a static load up to 1.02 kN (229 pounds-force) per arm.  The Austfixing is suitable for 8mm (5/16") to 12mm (1/2") thick toughened or tempered glass.  Other Spiders carry higher loadings.

Austvision Spider fittings are manufactured from Marine Grade Austenite 316 grade stainless steel with high quality castings which have high resistance to corrosion.
