Cam Balkon Korkuluğu: Sistemler, Standartlar ve Teknik Şartname
Cam korkuluk tipleri, EN standartları, rüzgâr yükü hesabı ve sistem seçimi.
Glass balcony railings combine safety with unobstructed views. This guide covers the German market specifically.
Frameless vs Post-Mounted
Frameless systems (FS 1500, FS 3000, FS 7000) clamp the glass into an aluminium base channel with no visible posts. Maximum transparency. The glass IS the barrier.
Post-mounted systems (VisioAir) use aluminium or stainless steel posts with glass infill panels. Lower cost, easier installation, suitable for retrofit.
German Standards
DIN 18065 defines minimum railing heights: 900mm residential, 1100mm public. EN 12150-1 mandates tempered safety glass. EN 1991-1-1 specifies horizontal loads: 0.5 kN/m residential, 1.0 kN/m commercial.
Glass Selection
Laminated safety glass (VSG) is mandatory. Thickness depends on wind exposure: 6+6mm for sheltered residential, 10+10mm for commercial, up to 15+15mm for high-rise applications.
Wind Load Calculation
EN 1991-1-4 governs wind actions. Building height, terrain category and exposure determine the design pressure. The FS 7000 handles up to 7.0 kPa — suitable for high-rise balconies.
Conclusion
Choose your system based on building height, wind zone and aesthetic requirements. Alcodec offers certified solutions for every application.
