Lugano: Residential (Max height 1100mm)
Description

Lugano is Euroglass' most popular frameless glass barrier system.

Key Features
  • Aluminium system for fascia fixed balustrades. It reflects the trend for sleek flush surfaces, square edges and continuous sight-lines
  • Creates a seamless blend. When standing on the deck all that is seen is glass spanning up from the edge of the deck
  • All the fixings are concealed beneath the face plate which can be powder coated any colour to blend in with the building structure
  • Compliant with NZBC clause E2. The Lugano base channel is face fixed and sits 25mm off the substrate. Compressed EPDM fixing sealing washers are easily located against the substrate
  • Can be attached to most standard building materials — timber, concrete, steel and weather boards
  • Anotec powder coated with a 10 year warranty. There are many powder coat colours to choice from to match a colour scheme
  • SENTRYGLAS incorporated with a Euroglass System offers a pure clean and clear traditional frameless barrier
