  • Product testing was conducted on a concrete floor -  Deflection performance of balustrade (under load) can vary from test data if mounting to other substrates, ultimately the performance of balustrade will be determined by the strength of substrate and quality of fixing achieved -  if in doubt over suitability of your substrate please consult a structural engineer. 

Fixing anchors

Floor Fixing anchors are not supplied by WPS – use appropriate anchors for mounting substrate

System was tested into concrete using M10 stainless steel rod (100mm length)  – fixed into concrete with Fischer Hybrid Mortar resin and secured with M10 Washers and nuts.

Cleaning and Maintenance 

Stainless steel is not completely maintenance free, but it’s easy to maintain.

Simply wash the stainless steel periodically with soapy water to keep the original appearance, the glass panels can be added to your window cleaners round, or simply clean with readily available glass cleaning products
