25 October2026. Checked draft only; not for construction/manufacture or NBS-ready submission.
Uniclass Ss_25_60_05_05 Balustrade and guarding systems (July2026), official research linked.
APG business identity: Architectural Products Group Ltd; general enquiries@architecturalproducts.uk.
Confirm manufacturing entity/factory and responsible engineer before final issue.
Product: continuous aluminium flatbar balcony kit, 1200mm overall including12mm endplates;
nominal rail span 1176mm; proposed guard top1100mm above finished-floor datum.
Candidate6082-T6; exact product form/temper/certificates and welded/HAZ design basis to accept.
Sections: top60x10,uprights50x10,two80x10mm lower strips. Broad strip faces VERTICAL,
fully face-welded across every upright; continuous rails/strips, no midrun splices.
Flush end interfaces. Model twin4mm-leg72mm weld lines are geometry/analytical trials,
not qualified throat/effective length/WPS/filler/directional resistance or joint rigidity.
Support: fascia restraint at exact BOM station coordinates plus structural top wall ties
at BOTH ends. Lower rows z-140/-320mm, based on assumed80mm buildup/300mm slab.
Survey actual floor/slab/walls/edges.14mm holes are proxies; no anchor selection or capacity.
Adopt jurisdiction/use/actions/combinations/serviceability, guard/opening/non-climbability,
wind/infill/point/vertical and durability requirements. Gross-elastic studies are sensitivities;
vertical study EXCLUDES self-weight. Complete actual welded/HAZ/member/joint/anchor/substrate
resistance and appropriate full actions before release. Obtain competent independent
verification and the representative physical evidence the accepted validation plan requires.
Select aluminium pretreatment/coating/colour/gloss/thickness, dissimilar-metal isolation,
durability/repair, fabrication/fit tolerances, inspection and installation method.
Use accepted drawings/lifting/access/temporary edge protection and record material/weld/
finish/anchor QA. Handover as-built IDs, approved care and confirmed warranty evidence.
No tested rating, origin/EPD/BIM claim or final selling price established by this draft.
