Side Mount for Flex Fit Channel

Our Flex Fit side fixed channel can be used to fix to the side of any structure. It is sold with two holes in either leg of the channel. If the channel is exposed, then the outside leg of the channel should either be covered with cladding or capped to ensure that the exposed leg is not visible. The side fixed channel is sold with clamp kits to secure 12mm, 13.5mm, 15mm, 17.5mm or 21.5mm glass. Our technical team can advise you on the appropriate glass thickness for your application.

Our Flex Fit channel is also branded as 6011 balustrade channel and is manufactured by our German supplier, Onlevel. The 6011 side fixed channel is ideal for installations when you would like to avoid fixing to the top of a roof for instance when you are trying to avoid piercing through outer membrane of a waterproof roof.

The glass is secured within the 6011 side fixed channel with a wedge based system which is fully adjustable. Using our Flex Fit tool, you can secure and then adjust the glass within the channel. Where you have a long run of channel, you can then align the panels within the profile without the need for a handrail or glass stiffeners.

When measuring the height of your glass within the side fixed Flex Fit 6011 Onlevel channel, you need to ensure that from finished floor level to top of the glass (or handrail if you have one) is 1100mm for any eternal balustrade. Once the profile is fitted to the side of the building, it will usually sit beneath finished floor level. The height of the panel will need to be adjusted to reflect this.

Our technical team are always on hand to advise you on any questions that you may have on our 6011 onlevel side fixed channel.
