Timber Fixing Plate

The patented Timber Fixing Plate for POSI base fix channels, allows the safe installation of frameless glass balustrade into timber without the need for a handrail. Suitable for POSIglaze base fixed.

With the majority of houses being of timber framed construction this new fixing allows the design of a building to incorporate the correct sized framework is included for the installation of a glass balcony. New decking areas can be designed with the right sized timber to accommodate the timber fixing plate or existing can be bolstered up to suit.

The patented Pure Vista Timber Fixing Plate has been designed to provide a solid fixing where the substrate is timber. It is a square plate with a threaded sleeve in the centre which holds on to the balustrade channel. The Timber Fixing Plates are fixed to the timber using four 6x100mm wood screws. The plates have a 20 microns thick zinc plating which makes them suitable for outdoor use.

It’s possible to rebate squares out of the timber to recess the Timber Fixing Plates, lay the waterproof membrane over the top and use the BalconySeal® system on the top for a waterproof installation. The timber plates have been tested to suit domestic balustrade/balconies up to 1200mm high (0.74kN line load to BS 6180). The wood is required to be a minimum width of 100mm and depth of 120mm.
