Q-disc System

The revolutionary Q-disc System offers the ultimate in ease of installation – the glass panels are secured with a simple turn of the built-in disc. Fix the base shoe in place, insert the glass and then – with just one simple hand movement – secure each glass panel.

With the adjustable version of the Q-disc system, you can also adjust the vertical position of each panel of glass. Simply move the Q-disc inlay to the right or left before securing the glass.

FAQ

Can I adjust the vertical positioning of each glass panel in the railing?

Yes, thanks to the adjustable Q-disc system included in the scope of delivery, you can adjust the angle of each individual glass pane. Simply move the Q-disc insert to the right or left. When you are finished, fix the glass in position.

What types of base shoes are available for the Easy Glass Smart system?

Easy Glass Smart offers four different types of base shoes: 

  • Top mounted 
  • F shaped top mounted (specially designed for unfinished floors and installation at the edge of a surface or beyond) 
  • Fascia mounted 
  • Y shaped fascia mounted (also designed for unfinished floors and installation at the edge of a surface or beyond)

Can I choose a specific color for the railing system to match the building?

Yes, you can order the Easy Glass Smart railing system in RAL 9005 black to give it a modern industrial look. Additionally, the raw aluminum railing products can be powder coated in the color of your choice.

What thicknesses of glass panel are compatible with the Q-disc System?

The Easy Glass Smart system supports glass panels with thicknesses between 1/2" and 11/16".

Is Easy Glass Smart suitable for use in coastal areas with exposure to salt water and harsh weather conditions?

Yes. Easy Glass Smart is made of high-quality aluminum, which is known for its corrosion-resistant properties. That makes it highly suitable for coastal environments where salt water, moisture and harsh weather could accelerate the deterioration of other materials.

Are there any specific requirements for anchoring the base shoes to different types of surfaces, such as concrete, wood or steel?

Yes, there may be specific requirements for anchoring the base shoes of the Easy Glass Smart system to different surfaces. Because each surface material has different load-bearing capacities and structural characteristics, the appropriate anchoring method may vary. 

For concrete surfaces, mechanical anchors and chemical anchoring are typically used and provide strong, reliable attachment to concrete substrate. The specific option selected may depend on the thickness and composition of the concrete. 

For wood surfaces, the installation of the base shoes may involve using screws or bolts to securely fasten the system to the wooden structure. It is essential to ensure that the wood is of sufficient strength to support the glass railing system. 

For steel surfaces, the base shoes can be anchored using welding or bolted connections, depending on the structural requirements and design considerations.
