Base Shoe / U-Channel

A continuous, minimal foundation for uninterrupted glass and open views.

System focus / 01

Adjustable base shoe, resolved from profile to glass.

A representative continuous aluminum channel designed around accessible clamping, controlled alignment and coordinated finishing parts.

02 / Engineering detail

Engineered around the installation.

Adjustment, water management, optional lighting and coordinated components are considered as one system.

Adjustable glass railing base shoe with vertical and lateral alignment
01

Adjustable alignment

Top-access clamping supports controlled glass height and lateral alignment during installation.

02

Drainage planning

Profile and project-side water paths are coordinated with the slab, waterproofing and outlet strategy.

03

Optional integrated LED

Selected base-shoe and handrail configurations can accommodate serviceable architectural lighting.

04

Coordinated kit

Profiles, clamping elements, covers, anchors and compatible fittings are prepared as one supply package.

Water needs a designed path.

Drainage is coordinated with the profile, slab edge, waterproofing layer and project outlet rather than treated as an isolated product claim.

Two base-shoe water-management concepts
01

Internal profile path

Water entering the channel is directed toward coordinated drainage points in the profile.

02

Project-side discharge

The surrounding balcony or terrace build-up provides the controlled route to the approved outlet.

Installation reference

Four moves. One clear sequence.

Four-stage base-shoe installation sequence
  1. 01

    Prepare the profile

    Set out, fix and prepare the channel around the approved substrate and water-management details.

  2. 02

    Position the glass

    Place the support elements, gaskets and laminated glass in the referenced assembly order.

  3. 03

    Align and clamp

    Coordinate panel height and lateral alignment before tightening the top-access clamping system.

  4. 04

    Finish and inspect

    Fit covers, confirm joints and drainage paths, then complete the project-specific inspection.

Reference configurations

A concise starting set for comparing visual language, fixing position and application. We coordinate the final system around project drawings.

02 / Base shoes

Choose how the glass meets the slab.

Exposed and recessed arrangements resolve different waterproofing, finish and sightline priorities.

BS110

Reinforced top-mounted shoe

110 mm reference height

Adjustable glass alignment with removable cover trims.

Typical use · Balconies · decks · commercial
BS90-R

90 mm recessed base shoe

90 mm reference height

Designed to sit within the floor build-up for a reduced sightline.

Typical use · Minimal floor transitions

Reference configurations only. Final dimensions, glass make-up, fixing, loads and suitability must be confirmed through project review and local code requirements.

ZR / Project supply

Designed as part of the whole.

Base Shoe / U-Channel is supplied as part of a coordinated glass railing package. Glass make-up, fixing hardware, finish, packing and export documentation are aligned to the application and confirmed during project review.
