FS 1500 Frameless Glass System
FS 1500Slim Base Shoe, Maximum Transparency
The FS 1500 is a residential-grade frameless glass railing system built around a slim 100mm aluminium base shoe channel. It accepts VSG laminated safety glass (2×6mm ESG + 0.76mm PVB interlayer) seated on EPDM gaskets with dry-glaze wedge clamping — no silicone or wet sealant required. The profile mounts to concrete or steel substrates via stainless steel A4 anchors at 300mm centres, with both top-mount and side-mount brackets available. Glass height options of 1000mm and 1100mm satisfy EN 1991-1-1 residential barrier loads (0.5–1.0 kN/m line load). Cladding covers in brushed stainless, polished stainless, or full RAL powder coat conceal the base shoe for a clean finish. Panels are spaced 10–20mm apart with transparent silicone joints. The system is CE marked and tested per EN 12150 for thermal toughening and EN ISO 12543 for lamination.
