90° Corner Channel – Internal & External (Anodised Finish)

Description

The 90° Corner Channel (Anodised Finish) delivers seamless alignment between adjoining channel runs in frameless balustrade installations. It is designed for both internal and external corners, supporting glass thicknesses between 15 mm and 21.5 mm. Manufactured from structural aluminium and treated with an anodised finish, it offers superior corrosion protection, long-term durability, and an elegant satin appearance. The channel integrates perfectly with base-fix systems and provides pre-aligned fixing points for fast, accurate assembly. Ideal for use in residential and commercial projects, it enhances visual continuity across balcony edges, terraces, and stair corners. Precision engineering ensures easy installation, minimal maintenance, and excellent load-bearing stability.

FAQs

• 1. What glass thicknesses are compatible with the Fully FramelessBalustrade system?

  All channel kits are designed to support 15 mm, 17.5 mm, 19 mm, and 21.5 mm glass panels. This includes monolithic, toughened, and laminated glass types. Always ensure the selected glass thickness complies with project-specific load requirements and local building regulations.

• 2. What’s the difference between the Black, Anodised, and Mill finishes?

  Only the finish treatment varies — the structural aluminium profile remains identical. Black Finish: Powder-coated for a sleek matte appearance and high UV/weather resistance. Anodised Finish: Electrochemically treated for a satin metallic tone and superior corrosion protection. Mill Finish: Raw aluminium that can be powder coated in any RAL colour for custom design integration.

• 3. Are all components suitable for outdoor and coastal environments?

  Yes. All channel kits and fittings are made from high-grade aluminium, ensuring long-term performance in outdoor and coastal environments. The Anodised and Black powder-coated finishes provide additional protection against corrosion, UV exposure, and salt conditions. For coastal projects, regular rinsing with fresh water is recommended to maintain surface integrity.

• 4. How are the channel kits installed?

  All systems use a base-fix configuration, allowing direct mounting to concrete or steel substrates. Each kit includes precision wedges and EPDM gaskets to clamp the glass panels securely. Follow torque recommendations and substrate anchoring standards for safe, compliant installation.

• 5. Can the glass panels be adjusted after installation?

  Yes. The included wedge and gasket system allows fine-tuning of the glass alignment after it has been set in the channel. Adjustments can be performed using the Flexible Drill Bit – Wedge Adjustment Tool, ensuring perfect vertical alignment without glass removal.

• 6. What is the purpose of Connecting Pins, and how are they used?

  Connecting Pins ensure perfect alignment between adjoining channel lengths. They are inserted into pre-drilled holes at the channel ends to maintain straightness and spacing across longer runs, resulting in a continuous, professional appearance.

• 7. Can I combine different finishes within one installation?

  Technically, yes — but it is not recommended for visible sections, as colour tone and sheen may differ slightly between finishes. If mixed finishes are required, always confirm the visual match before final installation.

• 8. How should I maintain and clean the channels and components?

  Use a soft cloth and mild soapy water for routine cleaning. Avoid abrasive pads or acidic cleaners. For coastal environments, rinse periodically with fresh water to prevent salt accumulation. For Mill Finish components, apply a powder coating or clear sealant for long-term protection.

• 9. Are these systems compliant with UK Building Regulations?

  Yes. When installed according to The Outdoor Look’s installation guide and using glass of the correct specification, the system meets or exceeds UK Building Regulations Part K requirements for safety and structural performance.

• 10. Can I customise the Mill Finish channels with a specific colour?

  Absolutely. The Mill Finish version is supplied as untreated aluminium, allowing it to be powder-coated in any RAL colour to match specific architectural designs or brand aesthetics. Always ensure powder coating is carried out by a certified applicator to preserve structural integrity.

• 11. Do I need any special tools for installation?

  No specialist tools are required beyond standard site equipment. Recommended tools include: Allen key set, torque wrench, spirit level, drill driver, and the optional Flexible Drill Bit – Wedge Adjustment Tool for precise glass alignment.

• 12. How can I ensure long-term performance and stability?

  Regularly check the glass alignment and wedge tension, especially in outdoor applications subject to temperature fluctuation or vibration. Clean debris from channels, re-torque fasteners if needed, and follow The Outdoor Look’s maintenance schedule to maintain a flawless frameless finish for years to come.
