Stainless steel made PIFOREX® Balcony Parapet Connectors are used to connect concrete balcony parapets to concrete balcony slabs.
The PIFOREX® Balcony Parapet Connector is anchored to the balcony parapet by headed fasteners as the loads to the balcony slab are anchored by reinforcing steel bars.
The balcony parapet is lowered and positioned according to plans so that the Railing Parts go inside the Connecting items previously assembled to the edge of the balcony slab.
PIFOREX® Balcony Parapet Connector transfers the forces caused by the self-weight of the parapet and the external loads applied to the parapet are applied to the balcony slab.
A parapet equipped with PIFOREX® Balcony Parapet Connectors does not require support during installation, the joint does not require welding, and the seam between the parapet and the balcony slab does not require grouting. This enables later dismantling of the joint for possible reuse and recycling of the balcony parapet.
PIFOREX® Slab Anchor can also be used with glass balustrades and balcony glazing according to the glass balustrade manufacturer’s instructions.
