ALCODEC FS SERIES
Frameless Glass — 100mm Slim Base Shoe
Frameless glass railing with 100mm slim aluminium base shoe — the most elegant fall protection for balconies and terraces. Innovative dry-glaze wedge clamping — no silicone required, faster installation, easier glass replacement. VSG laminated safety glass in 6+6, 8+8 or 10+10mm per EN 12150. A4 stainless steel anchors (316 marine grade) at 300mm centres. Wind load certified to 1.5 kPa. Cladding in brushed SS, polished SS or any RAL colour. CE documentation reviewed per product type per EN 12150 and EN ISO 12543.
TECHNICAL SELECTION LINE
Read wind-load range, profile height and preliminary glass build-up on the same technical scale. Glass thickness alone is not a capacity statement; final selection is verified by panel size, fixing substrate and anchor calculation.
Wind load
Read the 0-7.0 kPa range
Profile class
Check the 80-160 mm profile step
Glass build-up
VSG build-up is project-verified

WIND-LOAD ROUTING
This is a product-family pre-route only. Glass build-up, panel height, span, line load and anchor calculation are verified by project data.
Glass build-up
6+6 / 8+8 / 10+10 mm VSG options for FS 1500 are a pre-selection range. The same glass build-up can perform differently by panel height and span.
Profile and anchors
80 mm profile height is reviewed together with glazing depth, fixing substrate, edge distance and anchor calculation.
Wind-load reading
0-1.5 kPa defines the system class. It must not be read as the standalone glass capacity; project calculation remains decisive.
TECHNICAL PROFILE
Read the system character first, then confirm material, glass or infill, fixing detail, anchors and performance data together.

Advanced wind-load and high-rise review
The chart is for product-family pre-selection. Glass thickness alone is not a load-capacity statement; 8+8 mm VSG must not be treated as automatically suitable for 5.0 kPa or higher wind load.
System class is determined by checking wind pressure, line load, panel height, panel span, fixing substrate and anchor calculation together.
Glass thickness alone is not a capacity guarantee. The same glass build-up can perform differently by panel height, span and anchor condition.

ALCODEC
This tool gives a first route for railing type selection; the final choice is confirmed by glass build-up, fixing type, panel size and anchor calculation.
PROJECT VERIFICATION
The Alcodec FS 1500 is a frameless glass railing system using an aluminium base channel (U-profile) to create maximum transparency. The glass panels are secured in a concealed bottom channel with no visible posts, clamps, or fixings — only the glass and a minimal handrail are visible.

Selected system
FS 1500
FS 1500 is reviewed at 0-1.5 kPa, with 80 mm profile height and 6+6 / 8+8 / 10+10 mm VSG preliminary glass build-up.
Glass height, panel span and edge returns are checked together.
Floor level, facade direction, coastal influence and wind openness are reviewed.
FS 1500, FS 3000, FS 5000 and FS 7000 are compared on the same scale.
Glass build-up, profile and anchor calculation are finalized by project data.
The base channel accommodates laminated safety glass (VSG) from 16.76 mm (8+8) to 21.52 mm (10+10) thickness, depending on wind load requirements. Glass panels slide into the channel and are secured with EPDM rubber gaskets and ABS safety wedges — no bolts or screw tightening required. Panel alignment is adjustable ±10 mm in all three axes from one side.
Mounting options: top mount (on finished floor surface), fascia mount (on slab edge for maximum floor space), and side mount (on wall face). Each configuration uses the same base channel profile with different anchor plates. Stainless steel chemical anchors rated for cracked concrete Zone C4 (coastal/industrial environments).
Glass thickness alone is not a capacity statement; FS class, glass build-up, panel geometry and fixing substrate must be reviewed together.
PRODUCT DECISION GUIDE

PROJECT INPUTS
Glass railing selection is a safety decision. Glass build-up, height, line load, substrate, edge distance and local rules must be checked together.
No. Panel height, span, load, fixing, substrate and calculation define the final build-up.
When a continuous frameless line and suitable edge/substrate conditions are available.
When fixing conditions, budget, maintenance or facade rhythm make posts more appropriate.
Avoid final compliance, load capacity or DIN approval without project-specific calculation.
PRODUCT ANSWERS
Use these notes to check the product against project data before opening calculators, product finder or quote path.
For railing, fence and safety products, the first decision is driven by load case, glass or infill type, privacy target, fixing surface, height and the standard expectations in the project country.
Open railing analyzer →Share project country, dimensions, quantity, fixing surface, exposure, finish target and any accessory or documentation need so the first quotation can start with the right technical scope.

APPLICATIONS
Frameless glass creates uninterrupted panoramic views from balcony edges. The concealed base channel maximises usable floor space — no bulky posts stealing square metres from compact urban balconies.
Elegant glass boundary on rooftop gardens and terraces. The frameless design maintains the open-sky feeling while meeting building code fall-protection requirements.
Glass railing provides safety without blocking pool views. The aluminium and glass construction is fully corrosion-resistant — no rusting hardware near chlorinated water.
