ALCODEC FS SERIES
High-performance class with a 125 mm profile section
FS 5000 glass railing sits between FS 3000 and FS 7000 for balcony, terrace and commercial edges that need a 125 mm profile height and 105 mm glazing depth.
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

The animation shows the pre-selection wind-load limit for the selected model. Glass build-up and anchor calculation are verified separately by project data.
Selected model: FS 5000
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 5000 are a pre-selection range. The same glass build-up can perform differently by panel height and span.
Profile and anchors
125 mm profile height is reviewed together with glazing depth, fixing substrate, edge distance and anchor calculation.
Wind-load reading
3.0-5.0 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.
Wind-load pre-check for FS 5000; glass build-up alone is not a capacity statement, glass height and anchor line are reviewed together.
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
FS 5000 fills the technical gap between FS 3000 and FS 7000 with a deeper profile section. FS 1500 is the standard wind-load class, FS 3000 is the enhanced wind-load class and FS 7000 is the advanced wind-load class; FS 5000 adds a 125 mm profile height and 105 mm glazing depth for high-performance project conditions.

Selected system
FS 5000
FS 5000 is reviewed at 3.0-5.0 kPa, with 125 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.
The product data set uses 60 mm profile width, 125 mm profile height and 105 mm glazing depth. VSG 8+8 mm or VSG 10+10 mm glass build-ups are reviewed during pre-selection; the final build-up is confirmed by glass height, panel span, fixing detail, wind pressure, line load and anchor review.
This system is suitable for residential, commercial balcony, terrace and facade edges that need a higher wind-load review than FS 3000 without moving directly to the FS 7000 advanced class. Glass thickness alone is not a load-capacity statement; glass build-up, anchoring, waterproofing, drainage and fixing details should be reviewed during product selection.
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.
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.
Start quote path →Compare it by use case first, then by control method, structural conditions, finish, service access and whether the project needs dealer, export or engineering support.

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.
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.
Existing buildings rarely have perfectly level substrates. The FS 3000's adjustable post bases and flexible glass sizing make it the pragmatic choice for retrofit installations.
