The components supporting a glass panel should not only provides safety and security, but should also contribute to your desired look. This distinctive floor mounted glass clamp will help you realise our design vision,
With a distinctive and unconventional shape, this floor mount base clamp has a flawless appearance: no screw are visible on its surface, which can guarantee a unique and eye catching look. Designed for light and medium use in installations such as poolside barriers, wind breaks, pedestrian control and glass balustrade, combining with our choice of slotted handrail, glass mounted handrail or edge protection profile. The glass panel is clamped, so there's no need for holes in glass, time and cost saving!
Material: Stainless Steel 316 grade (for indoor and outdoor)
Finish: Satin Finish
Glass Thickness: 15mm -21.52mm
Hole Size in Glass: Not required
Flawless Appearance: No visible screws to distract the eye
Testing of Floor Mount Base Clamps in Accordance with BS 6180:2011 Barriers In and About Buildings
A horizontal line load was applied to the glass at height of 1.1m above the datum level of the floor with the base clamps set at 500mm centres using a range of glass types as following:
- Two Base Clamps:
15mm Tempered Monolithic Glass
19mm Tempered Monolithic Glass
20.76mm Laminated Toughened Glass
16.76mm Sentry Glass Laminated Tempered
16.76mm PVB Glass Laminated Tempered
21.78mm Sentry Glass Laminated Tempered - Three Base Clamps
20.76mm Laminated Toughened Glass
Table 1 - Summary of Performance under Horizontal Imposed Line Load
Note: The load deflection characteristics for the Base Clamps using 16.76mm glass panels (2 x 8mm glass 0.76mm foil) over a range of spans met a series of working line load values in accordance with BS 6180:2011. Therefore glass panels having the same thickness glass with a thicker foil of 1.52mm should perform in comparable way to those incorporating a 0.76mm foil. This applies similarly to panels having 2 x 10mm glass panels with differing foil thicknesses.
