Delta Balustrades have provided their HiBuild™ powder coated Mono Balustrade for St George’s Junior School.
The two-storey building has a staircase at each end and Delta Balustrades’ Mono™ system was specified with powder-coated steel balusters and 11.5mm toughened and laminated glass infill panels.
The Mono™ system handrails were provided in oak to offer a warmer finish in the primary school environment and each staircase features a dual handrail with one handrail mounted at a 600mm height for the children and the other in parallel at 900mm for the teachers.
The Ark features an outdoor teaching area at first floor level with a balcony accessed from the internal classrooms.
Delta Balustrades’ Mono™ system was specified with powder coated balusters to match the grey of the window casings.
The 11.5mm toughened and laminated glass infill panels have no handrails but have been installed at a height of 1500mm to provide additional edge protection.
A further small triangular balcony at the side of the building has been specified with the same system as the main first floor balcony.
At ground level, the building features steps and ramps and a combination of Mono™ balusters and Orbis™ handrails with a Sigma stainless steel finish have been used to provide guarding, with 10mm toughened glass infill panels.
The stone steps leading to the nursery classrooms were also specified with an Orbis™ handrail.
