For many years, Richard Brink has offered its customers versatile solutions for a wide range of application scenarios – from the garden to the roof. The metal products manufacturer from Eastern Westphalia is now blazing new trails with its new glass systems that combine stainless steel and aluminium with laminated safety glass. This product group also includes tailor-made glass balustrades for indoor and outdoor use.
Bespoke und flexible
The basic frame of the balustrades consists of stainless-steel posts with glass supports and retaining plates and offers customisable manufacturing parameters. The balustrade is adapted to the specific circumstances at each installation location and is available in a projecting or recessed variant, in a version suitable for niches or as a bespoke shape. Heights of 900mm, 1,000mm or 1,100mm are available, measured from the top edge above the floor. The maximum projection is 210mm from the outer edge of the post to the fixing point of the retaining plate. The manufacturer merely stipulates the maximum distance between two stainless-steel posts, depending on the selected height, and this distance can be reduced as need be. The optional handrail is available either as a round version with a diameter of 42.4mm, in a square shape measuring 60mm x 60mm or as a stainless-steel end profile. There is even a choice between clear or satin variants for the laminated safety glass (LSG) used.
Richard Brink thus ensures that the most appropriate project-specific solution can be developed for almost all architectural situations and personal preferences.
Aesthetics coupled with safety
This motto underpins the entire construction concept for the new glass balustrades. The stainless-steel posts ensure a stable structure and are durable and easy to care for. The LSG is 12.76mm thick and consists of two 6mm-thick panes linked by a tear-proof polymer film. If broken, it binds the glass fragments and is highly resistant to impacts and temperature-related material stresses. The combination of a metallic aesthetic and glass elements creates a barrier that is simultaneously robust and light-filled and affords an unobstructed view of the surrounding panoramas.
Whether used as a room divider for open and modern interiors or a balustrade for balcony and terraces – Richard Brink’s custom manufacturing process satisfies all requirements, simultaneously meeting the applicable safety standards for guardrails and balustrades with no exceptions.
