ALCODEC FS SERIES
7.0 kPa — Strongest FS Profile
Heavy-duty glass railing with reinforced aluminium base channel — the strongest FS profile, certified for 7.0 kPa wind load. Designed for high-traffic public buildings, shopping centres, stadiums and transport hubs. VSG laminated glass up to 15+15mm (21.52mm total). Three mounting options: top, side, or concealed base. Connection to concrete, steel or timber. 10-year structural warranty with independent third-party testing per EN 12150.
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
10+10 / 12+12 / 15+15 mm VSG options for FS 7000 are a pre-selection range. The same glass build-up can perform differently by panel height and span.
Profile and anchors
160 mm profile height is reviewed together with glazing depth, fixing substrate, edge distance and anchor calculation.
Wind-load reading
5.0-7.0 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 7000 is a structural glass railing system designed for high-rise and commercial applications where wind loads exceed standard residential requirements. The system features an oversized base channel (70 mm wide × 160 mm deep) capable of securing laminated glass up to 24.76 mm (12+12 VSG).

Selected system
FS 7000
FS 7000 is reviewed at 5.0-7.0 kPa, with 160 mm profile height and 10+10 / 12+12 / 15+15 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.
Engineered for buildings above 10 storeys where dynamic wind pressure can reach 3.0–7.0 kPa, the FS 7000 base channel transfers glass loads directly to the structural slab through chemical anchors rated for cracked concrete. The deeper channel provides extended glass embedment depth (100 mm vs 65 mm in FS 1500), dramatically improving moment resistance at the base.
The system has been validated through Finite Element Analysis (FEA) by TURBOTEK and Simutek laboratories for specific project conditions. Standard 10+10 VSG handles approximately 5.7 kPa, while 12+12 VSG handles approximately 7.0 kPa — covering all but the most extreme high-rise exposure zones.
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
Designed for buildings above 10 storeys where wind pressure on balcony railings reaches 3-7 kPa. The oversized base channel secures thicker glass (up to 12+12 VSG) that withstands high-altitude wind loads.
For restaurants, hotels and shopping centres.
Office towers, hotels, and mixed-use developments with glass balcony railings exposed to significant wind. The FS 7000 is the only Alcodec system validated for dynamic wind pressures up to 7.0 kPa.
