Balustrade installation WEDGE-F
Step 1
Preparing the Installation Surface
Begin by carefully measuring and marking the precise locations for the balustrade profiles. Use a drill bit that is suited to the material you're working with, whether it's concrete, wood, or another surface. Ensure the holes are accurately aligned with the mounting points on the profiles, as proper alignment is crucial for the stability of the entire system.
After drilling, thoroughly clean the surrounding area to remove dust, debris, and any rough edges that may interfere with the installation. A clean, smooth surface is essential for creating a secure bond between the profile and the mounting surface, ensuring the glass railing is fixed safely and effectively. This preparation step is vital to the long-term durability and safety of the installation.
Step 2
Positioning and Securing the Profile
Once the surface is properly prepared, carefully position the balustrade profile in place, aligning it with the drilled holes. Ensure the profile is perfectly straight and sits securely in the desired position.
To secure the profile firmly, use a torque wrench, applying a setting of 40 Nm for optimal fastening. This ensures the correct amount of tension is applied, preventing over-tightening and maintaining the stability and integrity of the entire assembly. Proper torque settings are essential for long-lasting performance and structural safety.
Step 3
Inserting the Gasket and Securing the Glass
Before placing the glass, insert a rubber gasket into the profile to provide a protective layer between the glass and the profile, preventing friction and wear. Follow this by adding the rear plastic insert, which ensures additional stability and a more secure fit for the glass panel.
Carefully lower the glass into the profile, ensuring it aligns properly and sits evenly within the gasket. Once positioned, use the appropriate fasteners to secure the glass in place, tightening them evenly to provide firm stability and reliable hold, ensuring the entire assembly remains safe and durablе.
Step 4
Securing the Glass with Inside Wedges
Begin by positioning the inside wedges along the edges of the glass, ensuring they are aligned for a secure fit within the profile. Using a careful, gentle approach, tap the wedges into place, being cautious not to strike the glass directly. This minimizes any risk of damage while achieving the necessary stability.
Continue tapping the wedges until they are fully seated within the profile, providing firm support along the glass edges. This method not only ensures a strong hold but also aligns the glass perfectly within the profile, securing it effectively for a reliable, lasting installation.
Step 5
Sealing and Final Touches
Begin by inserting the internal rubber gasket into the profile. This gasket offers additional protection by sealing the assembly, preventing water or debris from entering and providing a secure fit around the glass.
Next, install the end caps on the open ends of the profile. These caps not only conceal the exposed ends but also give the railing a polished and professional appearance. This final step completes the assembly process, leaving the glass railing with a sleek, finished look while ensuring functionality and long-lasting protection.
Step 6
Final Inspection and Finishing Touches
Your glass balustrade is now fully assembled and ready for use! Take a moment to perform a final inspection, ensuring that all components are securely fastened and the glass panels are clean and free of debris. Once satisfied with the installation, enjoy the enhanced safety and elegance it brings to your space.
