C.R. Laurence’s
TAPER-LOC® System has facilitated a speedy and simple installation
of a new glass balustrade system at Dundee’s recent Olympia
swimming and leisure complex.
The new complex
features a 50 metre competition pool, wave pool, rapid river, dive
pool, flumes and fitness suite. The Main Pool incorporates a movable
floor and end walls to enable it to be reconfigured into a 25 metre
Training Pool for clubs and public lane swimming.
The TAPER-LOC® System
was used to create a beautiful frameless balustrade in several areas
of the pool and leisure complex. The clean lines of balustrade
solution offered a simple but effective method to enclose the
different types of seating and staircase arrangements.
TAPER-LOC® is the
simple way to install glass railings and balustrades it is 50% faster
to install than traditional alternatives and as it is a totally dry
glaze system there is no need for wet cement. The product is
completely unique because it uses a horizontal TAPER-LOC® design,
which allows the system to be adjusted, dismantled and re-set easily
and efficiently. The TAPER-LOC® System conforms to BS6180:2011 and
is ideal for replacing scratched and broken panels in existing
applications.
