2. WHERE BESTBALUS RAILS CAN BE MOUNTED?

1. Where can we install these rails and banisters?

Balconies, terraces, stairs, ramps, closings in exterior, etc.

2. It is possible to mount a foot of work or some previous process is necessary in the workshop?

It is perfect to mount a foot of work.

3. Are they the same rails both for interior and for exterior?

Yes, only they change the requirements of the anchorages.

3. HOW ARE THEY MOUNTED?

1. How many persons are necessary to do the assembly?

Though in many cases an alone person might solve them, we recommend two.

2. How much time needs the assembly of a linear meter of the BestBalus rail?

In the checked assemblies the performance has been approximately of 4,5 – 5 linear finished meters mounted by two persons.

3. How is it started mounting? What steps is it necessary to give?

To realize the assembly, it is necessary to follow the manual of installation. The fundamental steps are the following ones:

• Horizontal sections:

1. Measurement.
2. Cut the tube that goes through the bars.
3. Introduce the bars into the tube.
4. Tighten up everything with straps.
5. Drill the holes and rivet or screw.>
6. Covers and accesories.
7. Fix to the floor.

• Inclined sections:

1. Measurement.
2. Cut the tube that goes through the bars.
3. Enter handrails and fix ends.
4. Regulate columns height.
5. Fix to the floor.
6. Assemble top and bottom rails.
7. Screw bars.

• Handrails:

1. Measurement.
2. Cut the tube and mounting.
3. Rivet and screw.
4. Fix to the wall.

4. About steel through tube, How should we handle it? Do we have to cut it?

It tries to make as few cuts as possible. Each cut and extension requires 2 holes and rivets / screws.
We use a standard through tube 6 meters, cutting it to the required length.

5. How do I insert the column and the bars?

Introducing it into the through tube, on flat surface that will not damage the parts, binding to the columns by screw or rivet.

6. How many bars should be put in each column?

Depends on the situation, generally about 8 or 9.
We recommend placing columns every 1-1.5 meters, depending on the set.

7. The bars assembly, Does it require much physical effort?

No

8. How is the whole subject each other? How is “tied” the bars with the spine and through tube to have strength?

The element that gives unity to the whole is the “Profile intern” (tube 35x10x1.5mm). Screwed or riveted to the columns, thus maintaining continuity in the internal metal structure.

9. The piece, when assembled properly, does it stay together? Is it solid?

Of course, no gaps or noise.

10. For corners, How can assemble the pieces and give continuity to the whole?

The corner is resolved ending each column and placing two 90° bends between the two (one for each rail). Although it would be feasible to make the corner without columns, it can´t ensure strength. There is a bendable elbow to accommodate any angle other than 90°.

11. Are the screws are concealed or you can see it?

They are seen, even the same color as the rail.

12. How can we know the number of pieces WE have to ask or arrange for each work?

It should do the calculation based on plane and supported by photos whenever possible.
We must spread the length to cover, based on the extent of the bars or columns is 120 m / m, to find a multiple, placing columns every 1-1.5 meters depending on the floor type.

13. How do the rails are fastened to a wall? And to the floor?

There are specific parts for anchoring to wall, with precise adjustment of the length. The floor fixing is not different from any other rail which determination is made by screws.
A wall by BestBalus and soil fixation with screws according to UNE.

14. If we had to do some exterior door with railing materials, Can they provide us the door? How do they recommend us to solve this need?

We can supply different pieces to compose a frame on a gate or hatch, using a bendable elbow amended or modified stainless steel hinge.

15. Are there any special recommendation to transport parts from our warehouse to the implantation?

This product should not be treated as a building material, but as a finishing material. Should be protected from dust and bumps or scratches. Where it is not possible to carry the product in its packaging, distribution should clean surfaces for storage and reassembly.
