Certification
EN 1991-1-1
The Alcodec FS 3000 is a post-mounted glass railing system combining structural aluminium posts with glass infill panels. Unlike the frameless FS 1500, the FS 3000 uses visible vertical posts at regular intervals (typically 1,000–1,500 mm), with glass panels clamped or slotted between them.
This hybrid design offers significant advantages: lower glass thickness requirements (8+8 mm VSG is sufficient for most applications), easier on-site adjustment, and the ability to accommodate height variations and curved layouts. Posts are available in square (50×50 mm, 60×60 mm) and round (Ø50 mm) profiles.
Glass fixing methods: patch fittings (point-fixed), continuous channel between posts, or clamped with stainless steel spider fittings. The post base includes a levelling mechanism for ±15 mm height adjustment — essential for uneven substrates.
The FS 3000 is particularly suitable for staircase railings where varying heights and angles require individual panel sizing, commercial buildings with strict fire compartmentalisation requirements, and renovation projects where substrate conditions are unpredictable.
All components are QUALICOAT II powder coated in any RAL colour. Post caps, base covers, and glass edge profiles provide a finished aesthetic. EN 1991-1-1 compliant for residential and commercial load classes.

PRODUCT ANSWERS
Use these notes to check the product against project data before opening calculators, product finder or smart quote.
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
The post-mounted system handles height changes and angles that frameless systems cannot. Each glass panel is individually sized — perfect for winding staircases and split-level terraces.
For restaurants, hotels and shopping centres.
Office lobbies, shopping centres, and public buildings often require railings that accommodate complex layouts. The FS 3000's post system adapts to curved paths, corner details, and varying heights.
