Metropolis (Base Mounted) Frameless Balustrade System by Axiom Group

1. The Metropolis Suite Base Mounted The Metropolis Suite from the AxiLume® range is the epitome of Frameless Glass Balustrades.

2. The Metropolis Suite The Metropolis Suite from the AxiLume® range is the epitome of Frameless Glass Balustrades. The Metropolis Suite utilises high-grade aluminium glazing channels and fully compliant handrails such as the AxiLume® ARN and RRS. With elite style and no vertical elements the Metropolis suite has been designed to provide uninterrupted and panoramic views. COLOUR AND FINISHING AxiLume® Balustrades can be finished with either a powdercoat or anodised coating. A wide range of colours are available to choose from. This can allow the balustrade to compliment the aluminium joinery, blend into the surrounding building elements or stand out as a feature. SAFETY AND COMPLIANCE Structurally engineered and tested for superior strength and safety, and incorporating high strength aluminium sections. The AxiLume® Metropolis Suite is designed for compliance with the relevant Australian Building Code AS1170 when installed in accordance with Axiom Engineering documents. Site-specific certification is available. The Channels used within the AxiLume® Metropolis range are coated with a specialist Metaprep coating prior to Powdercoating, this is mandatory for warranty against Powdercoat failure. If channels are purchased in mill finish, it is the responsibility of the customer to satisfy itself that the Powdercoat applied uses the Metaprep pre-coating. For further detail on our Engineering and Certification, please refer to our website www.axiomgroup.com.au For fixing details and relevant CAD files, please consult with Axiom Group. ELEGANCE Designed to appeal, with an emphasis on stylish lines and fine detailing. AxiLume® Metropolis is the ultimate choice for discerning Architects and Builders. DURABILITY Built for durability, the AxiLume® Metropolis Suite is constructed from high grade aluminium using stainless steel fasteners and finished with a powdercoated or anodised surface for minimal maintenance. All monolithic toughened glass and heat strengthened glass (with a surface compression greater than 52MPa) is required to be heat soaked and marked in accordance with European Standard EN14179-1 unless exempt under AS1288-2006 clause 3.8. It is a responsibility of the Customer to identify individual requirements and to advise Axiom in writing if glass to be supplied is required to be heat soaked. It is the responsibility of the customer to check the colour, glass type, size, height and system requirements are correct prior to installation. Axiom takes no responsibility for incorrect goods once installed.
