Face Mounted Glass Fencing

A face mount glass fence is when the glass panels extend over the edge and are secured by fixtures that are fastened to the face which as the foundation & support for the panel. There are three different types of face mount applications. These are standoffs (also known as pin fixed), face mount spigots and face mount channel.

A standoff application is generally used internally on stairs, balconies and landings.  Standoffs are fixed to the face of the concrete balcony or outside edge of staircase treads. Glass panels with pre-drilled holes are then put in place and the cap of the standoff screwed on, locking the glass panel in place.

We typically use the adjustable smarter spigot for external face mount applications. This method doesn’t require glass panels to be drilled as the glass is clamped by its bottom edge inside the spigot. This application is very minimalistic as only two spigots are required per glass panel.

 A face mounted channel system can be used both internally and externally. Lengths of aluminium channel are fixed to the face and the glass panels are recessed inside. When installing face mounted channel systems, we use a product called Versatilt. For more information on the Versatilt channel system, please refer to the information found below.
