Product Criteria
Design requirements
The Finn panel as a balustrade comes in 2 options.
The first option is as a panel between posts. The design of the panel creates a seamless connection from panel to post giving the illusion that there are no posts at all. This is achieved by the 65mm gaps between the verticals being paired with 65mm posts and the panel being attached against the post using our stainless steel rail bracket.
The second option is our plated panel. This design uses a 300mm x 6/8mm plate with 40mm x 40mm top rail. This is then fixed to the face of the deck or balcony boundary joists.
Installation requirements
Installation should be in accordance with the PS1.
Maintenance requirements
Half-Yearly - Wash down all exposed metal work that is not in a fully interior environment.
5-Yearly - Inspect and repair sealant that encloses fixings
10-Yearly - Check exposed timber fixings for corrosion, repair as required
25-Yearly - Inspect structural steel, exposed timber and reinforced concrete that comes into contact with balustrade, repair or replace as required.
