Description

SLETIRUS decorative sheet metal for filling the base of guardrails features an original distribution of segmented vertical lines. The perforated segments, carefully spaced across the panel, appear to lengthen or contract from the slab to the handrail at widely spaced intervals, evoking a pixelated raster effect that reinforces the impression of movement and linear rhythm on the guardrail cladding.

Uses

Sletirus decorative sheet metal will be used for balcony railings, terraces, and indoor and outdoor staircases. Its pixelated verticality highlights the height and adds a touch of simple modernity to the building's architecture. In addition to its safety role for the railing, this type of dynamic perforated sheet metal can also act as a space divider, providing mechanical protection. The segmented vertical lines of the decorative sheet metal comply with safety standards for guardrails, ensuring light transparency, maintaining high mechanical resistance to impact, and helping to prevent young children from climbing, as the spaces between the segments do not allow for easy climbing. This decorative sheet metal is ideal for residential guardrails when you want to replace a heavy concrete guardrail with opaque decorative sheet metal.

Effect produced

To use SLETIRUS decorative sheet metal as a railing infill, the opacity of the vertical lines must be taken into account. The vertical arrangement of the openwork segments creates a feeling of slenderness and height on the railing infill. This effect amplifies the perception of space on the balcony, enlarging the building while giving the balustrade a modern, minimalist look. The round holes arranged in vertical segments create a light filter when the sun's rays pass through them. The SLETIRUS design will be customized to fit the specific dimensions of the railing using the online configurator. The decorative sheet metal will be available in a range of RAL powder-coated finishes to meet the aesthetic and environmental requirements of the local urban planning regulations, with the option to choose any RAL color without limitation in the design.

Team advice

To ensure the mechanical integrity of the decorative sheet metal applied to the Sletirus guardrail infill panel, our Design Office recommends optimizing the laser-cut galvanized steel sheet with a thickness of 15/10ths to comply with the NF P 01-013 guardrail safety standard. Destructive testing is carried out using a bag under a dynamic load from a soft body with a diameter of 50 cm applying 600 joules, impacting the geometric center of the guardrail infill panel.
