The X1-Series Top Fixed Balustrade with Round Handrail system is designed to fix to the floor of the balcony, landing or stair structure, whether it be the concrete slab or lightweight framing.
Where fixing into timber floor framing, both fixings to each stanchion need to be into the same joist, or nogging which has a rigid connection between joists.
This balustrade system is suitable for use on; houses, residential buildings and offices with the T4650 top fix stanchion.
The 38 diameter handrail complies with the requirements of AS 1428.1 whilst also complying with the “interlinking handrail” requirements of AS 1288.
