With
the first subtle signs of spring in the air designers, home owners and alike
are turning their attention to external projects, with a view to maximising
enjoyment of outdoor living in the months ahead.
OnLevel
have reported a recent upsurge in demand for balustrade and windscreen
solutions for garden and outdoor spaces, in particular decking applications.
OnLevel are referring clients to their TL-4010 top mount profile for all-glass balustrades, because of the range of benefits it offers. The TL-4010 profile is a slender, attractive design that maximises the ‘all glass’ look to provide unobscured views. It can be used in a glass balustrade or windscreen application, and to a height of 2600mm (depending on the application) making it ideal as a windscreen on terraces and decked areas.
Furthermore, the TL-4010 top mount profile has a certified line load of 1.5kN at approx. 1.3m finished floor level as a balustrade, making it a superb option when fixing below a decking to give a super strong and safe solution. With anchors every 200mm, pre- welded corners and end caps and suitable for a broad glass thickness range between 12mm-21.52mm (using the OnLevel standard Flex-Fit solution), the TL-4010 gives installers design flexibility and provides end users with stunning outdoor spaces.
Gary Dean Managing Director, OnLevel comments: ‘We’re really pleased to see so many enquiries for the TL-4010 profile, it speaks for itself which is probably why we are seeing so many repeat orders. For garden and outdoor areas, the TL-4010 top mount profile is ideal, its strong, reliable and looks great. As with all OnLevel products it’s easy to install and saves money when compared to traditional alternatives’’
Glass is fitted into the TL-4010 profile using Flex-Fit, Flex-Fit is OnLevel’s innovative system for adjusting glass plates. With this system it is possible to adjust each individual glass plate up to 40 millimetres towards the perpendicular line. It is the solution for a perfect and safe alignment of glass balustrades. With just a simple sliding movement the installer is able to precisely position glass and reduce the assembly time by some 30%. In addition, Flex-Fit is safer than traditional glass balustrade fixing solutions which often require you to work from both the balcony side and the void side. Flex-Fit can be fully operated from the balcony side. Not only is it safer, rental costs for scaffolding or a cherry picker are eliminated!
