Glass clamp
AISI 316 stainless clamps and point fixings. The hardware becomes a detail.

The product
When the fixing becomes the only visible detail
No continuous channel: the glass holds on a few points, and every one of them gets looked at.
Swiss Made glazing: made in Switzerland by our partner glassmaker, installed by our own teams.
The glass clamp is the opposite of the continuous channel. The glass is held at a few points, the structure stays visible, and anything not perfectly aligned jumps out. It is a system that forgives less during installation than a channel, but that can be used where the slab cannot be opened up: stairs, landings, refurbishments, timber floors.
Two mountings answer two situations. The post clamp — flat connection, Ø 42.4 mm or Ø 48.3 mm — serves stair flights and long runs. The point fixing holds the glass to a load-bearing wall or a façade.
The range of glass thicknesses governs everything else. The adjustable clamp takes 8 mm toughened to 12.76 mm laminated. Below or above that range, it is no longer the same product.
The sensitive point is the glass-to-metal contact. Direct clamping breaks the glass at the first difference in expansion. It is also what we come back to check after a year, when nobody thinks about it any more.

The «lengths» column has no object here: these parts are counted individually, and what is calculated is how many per metre, not how long. The number of points and their spacing are sized on the load of the category of the space, the panel width and the glass thickness — we attach the calculation to the quote.

The loads shown are those the system is approved for. Final sizing depends on the use of the space and the wind pressure at the site — that is what we check during the survey.

Finish
The grades and surface finishes
Stainless steel is not one material, it is a family. V2A (304) belongs indoors and in ordinary atmospheres; V4A (316) starts where there is chlorine, de-icing salt or the damp air of a lake. The adjustable clamp and the point fixing are AISI 316, and the point fixing is specified for outdoor use.
The adjustable clamp is supplied in satin stainless steel.

The drawing
Drawn before it is installed
Every piece starts from a workshop drawing dimensioned to the half-millimetre. That is what guarantees a true line once on site.

Frequently asked questions
About glass clamp
01How many clamps per panel?
The number comes from the calculation: it depends on the load category of the space, the width of the panel and the glass thickness. The calculation comes with the quote; it is not taken from a catalogue.
02What glass thickness for a clamp?
8 mm toughened to 12.76 mm laminated on the adjustable clamp. Going outside that range means changing product, not adding a packer.
03Toughened or laminated in a clamp?
In a balustrade, laminated is mandatory: it is the interlayer that holds the fragments and the panel in the event of breakage. Monolithic toughened glass is reserved for infill with no risk of falling — a spandrel, a division, a privacy screen.
04Does the glass have to be drilled?
No for a clamp, which grips the glass by its faces. Yes for a through-bolted point fixing — and in that case the drilling is done before toughening. Toughened glass can no longer be drilled, it shatters: a wrong survey is paid for in new glass, not in reworking.
05What connection on a post?
Flat connection, Ø 42.4 mm or Ø 48.3 mm. The connection must match the tube: a Ø 42.4 clamp on a Ø 48.3 tube cannot be made up by tightening — it marks and it slips.
06Are the screws visible?
Not on the adjustable clamp: its screw connection is concealed.
07What maintenance?
Soapy water and a soft cloth, twice a year, three times in a salty zone or by a lake. Never wire wool or chlorine-based products on stainless steel: the iron particles left on the surface rust and produce pitting that has nothing to do with the quality of the grade. A check of the clamping after a year forms part of the handover.
08What does a point fixing cost?
What sets the price of a clamped balustrade is the number of points and the alignment time, not the catalogue line. The part and the installation are priced after the survey.
