The Chatterton aluminium balustrade panels are installed in between the aluminium handrail and the aluminium bottom rail.Fixing is made simple when self tapping hexagon head screws are used. Installation of the top rail to the posts with the assistance of the handrail fixing brackets at the suggested height,usually one metre from the floor to the top of the rail.This is done first then the verandah panels are installed underneath the top rail.You may find it easy to then set the bottom rail in order to fit the panels to.You will need to trim the panels to fit,unless using a panel requiring spaces between them.It is important to use a spirit level to make sure the top rail is level.
Chatterton Lacework installation instructions.
Chatterton Lacework advises that all the corner sections of the lacework must be installed first by holding the corner into the top section of the post and fixing it to the post and the beam above with plasterboard or wood screws utilising the fixing lugs on the corner.
Once the corners are attached the decorative dropper is installed in the centre of the span between the two posts to the beam.After fastening the dropper to the beam,the lacework is fixed by fitting one section of frieze to the edge of the corner.This is done on both corners on either side of the span.Any lace overhanging the dropper must be cut neatly to fit behind the decorative dropper.Repeat this process on the lacework on the opposite side of the span.
If there is a gap between the frieze and the dropper as a result of the span being wider,cut a small section to join onto the lace to fit behind the dropper
