The A001 Base Channel is a precision‑engineered structural component designed specifically for frameless glass railing systems. Manufactured from high‑grade stainless steel (SS304 or SS316L optional), this channel provides a secure, concealed foundation for glass panels, ensuring both aesthetic purity and structural integrity. With a standard length of 2500 mm and a versatile thickness range of 8 – 21.52 mm (customisable to project requirements), the channel accommodates various glass thicknesses and loading conditions. Its robust construction and clean profile make it the ideal choice for modern architectural projects where unobstructed views and minimalist design are paramount.
This base channel is the foundational element for frameless glass balustrades and railings in a wide variety of settings:
The channel can be paired with glass panels ranging from 10 mm to 21.52 mm in thickness, with appropriate setting blocks, gaskets, and structural sealants to ensure a secure and watertight installation.
