MONACO is very similar to our LUGANO system. MONACO is designed to take higher loads and thicker types of glass in comparison to a LUGANO
Monaco is the best system to use for commercial projects.
- MONACO is an aluminium system for fascia fixed balustrades. It reflects the trend for sleek flush surfaces, square edges and continuous sightlines.
- MONACO creates a seamless blend. When standing on the deck all you see 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 MONACO base channel is face fixed and sits 25mm off the substrate. Compressed EPDM fixing sealing washers are easily located against the substrate.
