Top-mounted base channel
FS base-channel route for terraces and balcony slabs with a verified fixing surface.
Substrate, waterproofing, anchor pull-out, drainage and line-load category.
VISIOMODFrameless Glass Railings
Premium frameless glass balustrade systems for balconies, terraces, and staircases.
RAILING ROUTE
Choose the railing family by edge condition.
Start from the way the edge is built: base-channel glass, post-fixed glass, point-shoe glass, aluminium infill, Juliet guard or boundary system. The model routes stay on this page so the buyer can compare without getting lost.

Model routes
Use this as a first-pass route only. Final glass build-up, fixing, post spacing and local approval should be checked from project data.
FS 1500
Residential base channel
Residential starting route for laminated safety glass.
FS 3000Commercial base channel
Reinforced route for higher exposure and wider review.
FS 5000Intermediate base channel
Intermediate route between FS 3000 and FS 7000 with a deeper base profile.
FS 7000Heavy-duty base channel
Public-edge and documented load-review route.
Use this as a first-pass route only. Final glass build-up, fixing, post spacing and local approval should be checked from project data.
SPECIFIER PACK
Mounting route, glass build-up and document need in one view
A glass railing choice starts with edge condition, not model name. Separate base-channel, side/edge, post, point-shoe and public-edge requirements before asking for drawings or calculation.
Mounting matrix
Side or edge review
Use when the slab edge or facade detail makes top mounting undesirable.
Edge distance, concrete quality, bracket route, waterproofing and installation access.
Post-supported glass
VisioAir route where visible rhythm, segmentation or handrail logic helps the facade.
Post spacing, handrail need, glass panels, anchor base and local guard height.
Point-shoe / spigot route
Compact villa or terrace conditions where a continuous base channel is not the preferred visual detail.
Parapet depth, shoe spacing, glass build-up, edge distance and wind exposure.
Document route
- Product sheet
System family, profile route and typical applications.
- Installation route
Fixing surface, anchor and drainage checks.
- Glass specification note
VSG/ESG route to confirm with project data.

Known project checks
- Final glass thickness and interlayer are not decided from the category page.
- Line load, wind exposure and local approval route must be checked from project data.
- Anchor spacing and edge distance depend on substrate and waterproofing detail.
- Public-use or high-rise conditions need a documented engineering review before quotation.

SPECIFIER PROOF
Glass railing systems separated by load case
The FS range is presented as a project-specification path, not a single generic glass railing. Visitors can compare residential, commercial and heavy-duty requirements, then move into the standards, approval and calculation routes that specifiers expect.
Safety glass baseline
Each visible FS system is described around laminated safety glass, aluminium base-channel support and the application context before a buyer opens the model page.
- Laminated safety glass build-up
- Frameless aluminium base channel
- Terrace, balcony and public-edge applications
Load-led model choice
The category surfaces the practical reason to move from FS 1500 to FS 3000 or FS 7000: project load, wind exposure, edge condition and public-use expectations.
- FS 1500 as the residential starting route
- FS 3000 for commercial and higher wind-review projects
- FS 7000 for heavy-duty documentation needs
Tender-ready signals
The proof copy highlights the technical terms buyers and specifiers expect to see before requesting documents, shop drawings or a project quotation.
- EN 1991-1-1 reference on FS 7000
- 21.52 mm laminated glass on FS 7000
- Full RAL powder coating where specified
Approval route
Before a system is treated as ready for procurement, the page points specifiers toward the glass, wind and country-specific approval checks that normally decide the final build-up.
- DIN 18008 and EN glass-standard references
- Wind-load pre-check before final calculation
- Project documents requested through the specifier route
Before the final glass build-up is locked
Send opening width, edge condition, fixing surface and project country so the system route can be checked before quotation.
PRODUCT ANSWERS
Practical answers for glass railing selection
These answers are written for buyers, architects and specifiers that need a clear first-pass decision before opening a model page or requesting calculations.
Which VisioMod glass railing system should a project start with?
Start with the expected use case and edge condition: residential terraces normally begin with FS 1500, commercial or more exposed edges move toward FS 3000, and heavy public-edge projects should be reviewed around FS 7000 before quotation.
Check glass standards →What information is needed before a glass railing quote?
The useful first package is opening width, fixing surface, edge detail, project country, wind exposure and intended glass build-up. That lets the technical team decide whether the route needs DIN 18008, EN glass references or a project-specific calculation.
Open wind calculator →Is the final glass build-up decided from the category page?
No. The category page narrows the likely system family; final glass thickness, laminated build-up, fixing detail and local approval route should be confirmed from project data.

PROJECT SELECTION CHECKLIST
Project data that decides the glass railing route
Use this checklist before comparing FS systems or asking for documents. It keeps the first conversation focused on the details that usually change the railing route.
- Edge condition
- balcony slab, terrace edge, stair opening or public edge
- Fixing surface
- concrete, steel, side mount, top mount or special substrate
- Glass route
- laminated safety glass, exposed edge, visibility and maintenance needs
- Approval context
- project country, wind exposure and DIN or EN documentation need
