Hello everyone,

We are looking for a solution for an integrated, fully closed fall protection system on our window. At the moment, we have four thick brackets and practically a gap all around the glass.

However, we want a visually closed fall protection. For this, the glass or the rail (as narrow as possible) would need to be mounted (riveted or screwed) onto the 35mm (1.4 inches) sheet metal.

Does anyone know a manufacturer that offers suitable systems for this?

Thank you very much!

I wouldn’t start by searching randomly. Talk to a local glazier and/or metalworker nearby and have them create a custom solution for you (according to your specifications).

Something similar to how glass panels are fixed to walls in showers. This is the kind of thing you mean:

Aluminum glass clamping profile with black seal, cross-section 10–10.76 mm (0.39–0.42 inches).

The type of glass railing installed in your case is a tested and approved system for fall protection. Which professional would want to create a custom solution for you?

We have this type of glazing. It is anchored in the roller shutter tracks. It might be sufficient to replace only the glazing, and the roller shutter could possibly remain.

That is simply a French balcony. There are ready-made profiles available from manufacturers like "ETG," "Pauli + Sohn" (model P-01), "Bohle" (model Lyon), and many others. You should always pay attention to the technical approval (AbP) and the required glass thicknesses and fixing strengths. Ideally, you would choose a profile that matches your existing glass exactly so you don’t have to buy new glass. Since this is a safety-relevant component, professional installation is strongly recommended. Glazing companies typically handle this kind of work.
