7.0 kPa — Strongest FS Profile
Heavy-duty glass railing with reinforced aluminium base channel — the strongest FS profile, certified for 7.0 kPa wind load. Designed for high-traffic public buildings, shopping centres, stadiums and transport hubs. VSG laminated glass up to 15+15mm (21.52mm total). Three mounting options: top, side, or concealed base. Connection to concrete, steel or timber. 10-year structural warranty with independent third-party testing per EN 12150.

The Alcodec FS 7000 is a structural glass railing system designed for high-rise and commercial applications where wind loads exceed standard residential requirements. The system features an oversized base channel (70 mm wide × 160 mm deep) capable of securing laminated glass up to 24.76 mm (12+12 VSG).
Engineered for buildings above 10 storeys where dynamic wind pressure can reach 3.0–7.0 kPa, the FS 7000 base channel transfers glass loads directly to the structural slab through chemical anchors rated for cracked concrete. The deeper channel provides extended glass embedment depth (100 mm vs 65 mm in FS 1500), dramatically improving moment resistance at the base.
The system has been validated through Finite Element Analysis (FEA) by TURBOTEK and Simutek laboratories for specific project conditions. Standard 10+10 VSG handles approximately 5.7 kPa, while 12+12 VSG handles approximately 7.0 kPa — covering all but the most extreme high-rise exposure zones.
All FS 7000 projects include project-specific structural calculations, anchor layout drawings, and glass thickness allocation maps. The engineering team cross-references wind analysis data with building geometry to optimise glass thickness per facade zone — using heavier glass only where structurally necessary.
The FS 7000 is the system specified for Alcodec's Luxera Towers project: 26-floor residential complex with glass railings on all balconies, analysed zone-by-zone for wind pressure distribution.

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.
Open railing analyzer →Share project country, dimensions, quantity, fixing surface, exposure, finish target and any accessory or documentation need so the first quotation can start with the right technical scope.

APPLICATIONS
Designed for buildings above 10 storeys where wind pressure on balcony railings reaches 3-7 kPa. The oversized base channel secures thicker glass (up to 12+12 VSG) that withstands high-altitude wind loads.
For restaurants, hotels and shopping centres.
Office towers, hotels, and mixed-use developments with glass balcony railings exposed to significant wind. The FS 7000 is the only Alcodec system validated for dynamic wind pressures up to 7.0 kPa.
