High load-rated balustrade
Depending on the building type and expected usage, it is a common requirement for balustrades to have to be designed to withstand loads of 1.5kN and 3.0kN. Such loadings are sometimes referred to as Crowd Loading. Examples of this would be in Universities, shopping centres, public areas and sports stadiums.
Designs could include heavy laminated structural glass balustrades through to all steel variations.
