Stainless Steel Glass Railing Floor Channel U-Channel for 10-12mm Glass
The floor channel (U-channel) is a continuous stainless steel base rail that receives the bottom edge of frameless glass panels, giving a neat, post-free support for balustrades and pool fencing. The glass stands inside the channel and is held with EPDM setting blocks and gaskets, while the channel itself is bolted or embedded into the floor, curb or concrete base.
Because no intermediate posts interrupt the glass line, the channel system is favoured where an unobstructed view is required, from pool surrounds and terraces to shopfront glazing. The continuous section also gives installers a forgiving base: panels are dropped in from the top, levelled on the setting blocks and wedged with gaskets before the cover trim is closed.

Installation & Usage
The channel is set out along the edge line and anchored or cast into the substrate at the required centres. EPDM setting blocks are placed on the channel bed, each tempered glass panel is lowered into the slot, and side gaskets are inserted to centre and cushion the glass. Once the panel line is true, the channel cover or wedge is closed and the stainless surface cleaned of installation marks.
Quality Assurance
Every length of floor channel is 100% inspected before shipment for straightness, slot width and surface finish. Material test certificates are available on request.
