Sightline Commercial Solutions Debuts Expanse™ Frameless Glass Railing and Windscreen
17 Julio 2024 - 11:08AM
Sightline Commercial Solutions, a national leader in engineering
and manufacturing architectural railing systems for commercial
building applications, is expanding its industry-leading portfolio
with the introduction of Expanse™, a new, budget-friendly glass
railing/windscreen system. Inspired by the success of the company’s
award-winning Ascent™ and Ocula® windscreen offerings, Expanse
offers optimal versatility with a sleek design, limitless glass
infill options and a lower price point.
“Traditional balcony glass railings are comprised of multiple
horizontal members that add cost and obstruct views,” explained Jon
Chase, Chief Engineering Officer for the Minneapolis-based company.
“Expanse has proprietary aluminum extruded vertical members that
capture the glass without additional tabs or components and does
not require horizontal members to support the live and wind loads,
providing an expansive clear view of surroundings at a much lower
cost.”
Currently being installed on the more than 120 balconies at Vai
Villa Resort in Glendale, AZ, Expanse is ideally suited for
exterior use on elevated outdoor spaces and amenity decks as well
as interior overlooks and other spaces that call for a continuous
guard with visual transparency. Engineered to withstand wind loads
up to 80 psf, the system comes in a standard 42” guardrail height
and can be installed using top or fascia mounting with baseplates
or core mounting.
Proprietary custom-extruded aluminum posts provide channels for
tempered or laminated glass panels. Framing features a rectangular
“H” profile, while top cap is offered in two profiles – “U” channel
or round. Optional round pipe handrail is also available.
Glass infill can be customized with privacy etching, colored
interlayers, frosted surfacing or custom logos and graphics while
posts can be anodized or powder coated in a variety of finishes,
including custom colors.
“Expanse lives up to its name by not only affording customers
expansive views but also expanding our windscreen options to a
wider range of customers and projects,” noted Chase. “With the
myriad of customization options available, this system effortlessly
and affordably transforms any indoor or outdoor setting into a
personalized sanctuary.”
