What it's used for
- Floor-level base rail in glass balustrade systems on staircases and landings
- Structural channel rail for 10mm or 10.8mm toughened or laminated glass panels
- Contemporary open-plan mezzanine and gallery balustrade installations
- Replacement or upgrade base rail where a stable, dimensionally consistent timber is needed
Fitting and handling
Allow the rail to acclimatise in the installation environment for a minimum of 48 hours before fixing, keeping it laid flat and away from direct heat sources such as underfloor heating zones and radiators. The 11mm groove should be checked against your glass panel thickness before fitting; use appropriate glass setting blocks and a compatible structural adhesive or mechanical fixings at centres recommended by your balustrade system supplier. Once fitted, finish with a hard-wearing oil or lacquer suited to internal joinery to protect the oak face and maintain its appearance over time.
FAQ
Will this base rail accept 10mm toughened glass?
The groove is machined to 11mm, which is the standard clearance size for 10mm toughened or 10.8mm laminated safety glass. Glass setting blocks are recommended to centralise the panel and allow for any minor tolerance variation.
Can the engineered oak face be sanded and refinished?
Yes. The solid oak face layer is substantially thicker than a decorative veneer, so it can be sanded back and refinished with oil or lacquer without risk of breaking through to the core. This makes it practical for renovation projects where the timber needs to match existing flooring or joinery.
Is this suitable for external use?
This rail is intended for internal use only. The glue-laminated engineered construction and unfinished oak face are not rated for exposure to moisture or outdoor conditions. For external balustrade applications, a treated hardwood or composite profile would be more appropriate.
