Cantilevered glass ballustrade
server has crashed at work so i thought i'd share what ive been up to this week
not that you'll care but this has been a quite tricky detail. the top of the glass balustrade is due to be set at a constant 'slope' from one end of a 40m long balcony edge. the structure of the balcony, however, is made of a series of ramps and landings.
anyway, not so tricky really but i wanted to be as close to a modular solution as possible so that any bespoke supports are made up out of a set of existing parts
i'll up more as i develop it if anyone is interested

thats because i want the ballustrade to have a neat edge sloping down from one wnd of the series of ramps to the other - rather than it tracking the floor levels and dancing around. thats not really the issue - its more the having to support that glass to a constant datum that is divorced fromt he slab that supports it
there's nothing groundbreaking here - i was just idling while i had no access to the server
each will end up being a little bespoke but make from common elements - therefore cheaper
the tolerances are going to be quite tight - despite the packers ive included for - but most of that is take up tolerance of the cast concrete
Bailustraid or bailustrahd?
