Balustrade Fixing Methods

UNEX balustrade systems can be installed to a wide range of substrates, providing flexibility across many project types. Most styles can be either top-mounted or face-fixed, with a selection of pre-engineered fixing options designed for common deck construction substrates.

Where a project requires something outside these standard options, UNEX can often provide a site-specific engineered solution. For technical assistance, please contact our Customer Services Team.

DKG2 mounting brackets

The DKG2 Series gutter clearance bracket system is designed for side-mounting UNEX post-style balustrades to the face of a deck where an external gutter is present. The system provides an offset fixing detail that allows clearance for the gutter assembly while maintaining compliance requirements.

A range of UNEX balustrade styles can be installed using this system, with custom variations of the DKG2 bracket also available as part of a site-specific design where required.

*Gutters, clips, flashings and packers are not supplied by UNEX Systems or the balustrade installer. Additional flashings may be required in some situations for water deflection. Copper gutters are not recommended with this detail.

Here is a selection of our standard methods for attaching the balustrades to the substrate:
