Fully Frameless Side Fix Channel 5m
Create a contemporary edge with the Black Side Fix Aluminium Channel, purpose-built for frameless glass balustrades secured to the side of raised patios, balconies, or decking. This 5m channel suits 20.76–21.5mm glass and integrates with the Wedge-Loc Duo™ system for quick, secure installation. Finished in durable powder-coated black, it’s ideal for outdoor stair railings and balustrades requiring up to 1.5kN load capacity. Other sizes available to suit 16.76–17.52mm and 19mm glass. For drops over 600mm, 21.5mm glass is recommended unless a handrail is used.
This system can be easily cut down by your installer to the length you require, enabling your project to be installed efficiently.
Important measurements: When measuring for glass, we advise back of one clamp to the back of another clamp, minus 10mm for expansion and tolerances. Check the post/spigot/channel system fittings measurements. When using the channel system or the spigots systems we advise a minimum of 10mm and maximum of 99mm gap between panes, 20mm is best average.
Does it comply with building regulations?
For installations at heights with a drop of 600mm or more, glass thickness must be 17.5mm to 21.5mm installed to meet UK building regulations. In lower-height applications, a thinner glass pane can be used

How to order posts for glass?
When ordering channel system and glass for your balustrade, it is essential to check the post measurements, including the dimensions with the clamps attached. To ensure a perfect fit, measure from the inside back of one post clamp to the inside back of the next post clamp in the balustrade run.
Selecting the correct glass pane size based on these measurements will ensure a secure and seamless installation. Always double-check your measurements before ordering to avoid any discrepancies and achieve a professional finish.
It is at the companies discretion to charge for returns should you order the incorrect size glass and/or posts for your project.
