General presentation of the E120 guardrail

The E120 glass guardrail is part of the KE115 series from Railings Glass, a world leader in the manufacture of glass guardrails. This equipment is designed to secure mezzanines, staircases and balconies. Its sleek design makes it perfectly discreet, while providing optimum protection.

Made from anodized aluminum and tempered glass, the E120 glass guardrail offers a structure that is both resistant and elegant. Its 120 mm wide profile gives it great rigidity, while remaining visually slender. Stainless steel connectors are used for assembly, guaranteeing a perfect seal.

Technical features

Several elements contribute to the strength of the E120 glass balustrade. Its anodized aluminum profile is the result of a specific AW6063 alloy, offering optimum strength and durability. The anodizing process involves immersing the aluminum in an acid bath. This further enhances its resistance to corrosion.

Mechanical tests have demonstrated the ability of the E120 glass guardrail to withstand a horizontal point load of 1000N, equivalent to the weight of a 100kg person, applied to its upper part. Its performance exceeds the requirements of European standard EN1231-2.

The glass is also specially treated. It is tempered using a process that involves heating it and then cooling it sharply to increase its hardness and impact resistance. This makes it virtually unbreakable, while preserving its excellent transparency.
