Cortizo View Crystal Balustrades Features

Start with the published benefits that most affect performance, appearance and day-to-day use.

Invisible Safety

The View Crystal system utilizes a “U” shaped aluminium base profile that anchors laminated safety glass without vertical posts. This ensures 100% visual clarity without visual obstacles, perfect for modern architecture.

Heavy Load Resistance

Available in two grades: Standard (1.0 kN/m) and Plus (3.0 kN/m) for heavy traffic public areas.

LED Illumination

The base profile accepts LED strips, creating a stunning visual effect and walkway lighting at night.

Mounting Versatility

Can be mounted on slab, edge of slab (fascia), or fully recessed/flush for a seamless look.

Certified Safety

Meets CTE DB SE-AE and Eurocode 1 standards. Classified Class A-Excellent (UNE 85240).

A coastal view from a terrace with sleek Cortizo balustrades and glass balustrade, featuring buildings, an island, hills, and a cloudy sky over the calm sea.

Unmatched Versatility

The View Crystal range is adaptable to any construction requirement. Whether you need a standard residential solution or a robust barrier for public spaces, the system offers multiple mounting possibilities—including over slab, flush with pavement, or inverted edge slab—to ensure the balustrade integrates perfectly with your building’s facade.

  • On Slab / Top Mount
  • Edge Slab / Fascia Mount
  • Flush / Recessed Integration
  • Optional Top Handrail

Superior Strength

Safety is paramount with the View Crystal Plus system, which resists loads of up to 3.0 kN/m. This makes it suitable for categories A through E in accordance with Eurocode 1—covering everything from residential balconies to concert halls and retail areas. The system uses high-specification laminated tempered glass (up to 10+10mm).

Frequently Asked Questions

Clear answers to the practical questions that often shape the final specification.

Is the View Crystal system safe for children?
Yes, it is extremely safe. It uses laminated safety glass which holds together even if broken, and the lack of horizontal bars prevents children from climbing it.
Do I need a handrail?
The system can be installed framelessly without a handrail for a pure glass look. However, we offer an optional slim aluminium top profile (embellisher) if you prefer a defined edge or require it for specific building regulations.
Does the system allow for water drainage?
Yes, for exposed areas like balconies, the base profile is designed with drainage solutions to prevent water accumulation.
