ALCODEC FS SERIES
Enhanced wind-load class with a deeper profile section
Commercial frameless glass railing with a deeper profile section for public access areas, commercial terraces and high-rise balconies. 17.52mm laminated safety glass for barriers up to 3.0 kPa wind load. M12 A4 stainless anchors at 250mm centres with torque-controlled installation. Optional continuous LED channel. Cap rail in Ø42mm round or 60×20mm flat. CE and standards documentation reviewed per product type.
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 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
8+8 / 10+10 mm VSG options for FS 3000 are a pre-selection range. The same glass build-up can perform differently by panel height and span.
Profile and anchors
100 mm profile height is reviewed together with glazing depth, fixing substrate, edge distance and anchor calculation.
Wind-load reading
1.5-3.0 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 3000 is a post-mounted glass railing system combining structural aluminium posts with glass infill panels. Unlike the frameless FS 1500, the FS 3000 uses visible vertical posts at regular intervals (typically 1,000–1,500 mm), with glass panels clamped or slotted between them.

Selected system
FS 3000
FS 3000 is reviewed at 1.5-3.0 kPa, with 100 mm profile height and 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.
This hybrid design offers significant advantages: lower glass thickness requirements (8+8 mm VSG is sufficient for most applications), easier on-site adjustment, and the ability to accommodate height variations and curved layouts. Posts are available in square (50×50 mm, 60×60 mm) and round (Ø50 mm) profiles.
Glass fixing methods: patch fittings (point-fixed), continuous channel between posts, or clamped with stainless steel spider fittings. The post base includes a levelling mechanism for ±15 mm height adjustment — essential for uneven substrates.
Glass thickness alone is not a capacity statement; FS class, glass build-up, panel geometry and fixing substrate must be reviewed together.

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.

APPLICATIONS
The post-mounted system handles height changes and angles that frameless systems cannot. Each glass panel is individually sized — perfect for winding staircases and split-level terraces.
For restaurants, hotels and shopping centres.
Office lobbies, shopping centres, and public buildings often require railings that accommodate complex layouts. The FS 3000's post system adapts to curved paths, corner details, and varying heights.
