Ascent is a post-supported glass windscreen suitable for exterior use in commercial hospitality applications, specifically balconies and outdoor dining areas. This system can handle 80 psf wind loads. It comes at a standard height of 6 feet but can be customized based on project needs. Ascent uses an aluminum snap-fit system with concealed fasteners. With one side of the post in place, the glass is positioned in front of the system and held in by double-sided foam tape. The tape holds the first pane of glass in while the next piece of glass is installed. The cover is then snapped in from the front, securing the half-inch glass panel in place. To prevent corrosion, the posts are secured with an embedment or welded base plate, avoiding any contact with concrete.
