ORIZZONTE URBANO
The ORIZZONTE URBANO model is a horizontal-rail balustrade, designed for urban applications such as pedestrian walkways, cycle paths, urban area boundaries, and parking areas. It is a contemporary and functional design element, created to blend harmoniously with its surroundings while ensuring both safety and aesthetics. It has a height of 1200 mm from the walking surface and an average weight of 14.6 kg per linear meter. The Orizzonte Urbano system can withstand a thrust of 3 kN/m with a centre-to-centre distance between uprights of 1200 mm, whilst with a thrust resistance of 2 kN/m, we can achieve a centreto-centre distance of 1500 mm.
The ORIZZONTE URBANO features single-blade upright posts made of EN AW6082 T6 aluminium alloy with a flat cross-section, inclined at an angle of between 10 and 13°, suitably shaped and drilled to accommodate the handrail assembly, consisting of a pair of 45 mm diameter aluminium profiles. The infill is made of horizontal rails, also in aluminium, with a diameter of 20 mm. The uprights are secured to the support base by means of a 15 mm thick aluminium plate welded to the upright. All fasteners and anchoring plugs for the structure are made of A2 stainless steel. Where necessary, the handrail may feature appropriate cut-outs to accommodate LED lighting.
The ORIZZONTE URBANO, the flagship product of the “ARCHITECTURAL STREET BOLLARD” range, is a contemporary and functional design element, conceived to blend seamlessly with its surroundings whilst ensuring high standards of safety and aesthetics; thanks to its sloping profile, it prevents climbing. The upright-welded plate system also allows for rapid installation; the infill is made of round tubes inserted into specific holes in the upright. The linear joints between the various tubes are formed by internal sleeves, whilst the corner joints are formed by articulated elements machined from solid aluminium.
