Aluminium Balcony Railing: EasyMod Modular System Guide
Four infill families on one modular aluminium frame.
Aluminium vs Steel Railings
Aluminium railings weigh 65% less than steel equivalents, never rust and require no repainting. 6063-T5 aluminium alloy provides excellent structural strength with 160+ MPa yield strength. TIGER QUALICOAT II powder coating offers 25+ year colour stability — even in coastal salt spray environments.
EasyMod MARS System
The EasyMod MARS modular railing system offers three infill options: vertical bars (Ø16 mm round or 14×14 mm square), horizontal profiles (20×20 mm or 30×15 mm) and solid/perforated panels (50×15 mm). Heights: 900/1000/1100 mm. Maximum span between posts: 2,500 mm. 3D adjustable wall brackets compensate for surface irregularities.
Glass vs Bar Infill
Glass infill railings (VisioMod FS series) offer unobstructed views and a premium modern aesthetic. Bar infill railings (EasyMod MARS) are more economical, easier to repair and come in a wider variety of patterns. For high-rise residential, glass is preferred for view preservation; for commercial stairways, bars are standard.
Building Code Compliance
All Alcodec railing systems comply with EN 1991-1-1 horizontal load requirements: 0.5 kN/m for residential, 1.0 kN/m for commercial. Heights per DIN 18065: 900 mm for private stairs, 1,000 mm for public areas, 1,100 mm above 12 m height. Maximum bar spacing: 120 mm (child safety per EN 13200-3).
