The Side-Mount Mechanical Channel cannot be used for 'C1/C2', 'C5' or 'D' loadings.

In these applications, Unex Systems recommends the use of the “Extreme Barriers” range which has been specifically developed for these higher loadings in crowd and public situations.

Unex Systems has designed its Arena range to comply with the B1, B2, F2, F4 and F9 requirements of the NZ Building Code and are suitable for occupancy types 'A', 'B', 'E' and 'C3' in accordance with AS/NZS 1170.

Producer Statements for all standard specifications can be created online in the registered area of the Unex Systems website.

For non-standard situations not covered by our specifications, a site-specific PS1 and specification may be prepared by Unex Systems upon request.

Unex Systems has specialised in designing and manufacturing architectural balustrade systems throughout Australasia and beyond since 1981.

This “AZS Side-Mount Channel” frameless glass style has been incorporated in Unex’s range since 2010, designed in response to increasing needs of the market place for a range of frameless glass styles.  This system has since been used in a number of jobs right throughout New Zealand.
