UNINTERRUPTED OCEAN VIEWS
MEGAGRIP INSTALLATION AT BEACHSIDE RESTAURANT, CORNWALL
A popular seafront restaurant aimed to improve its outdoor dining experience by installing a safety barrier on its terrace. The main goal was to provide an unobstructed view of the sea while shielding diners from the prevailing coastal winds.
The restaurant needed a high barrier to allow diners to enjoy their meals comfortably without being affected by strong sea breezes, while still ensuring a safe environment. Since only domestic and light commercial systems that accommodate 1100mm high glass were available, a more robust commercial system was required.
MEGAgrip offered the ideal solution. The heavy-duty commercial glass balustrade system, combined with 31.5mm toughened laminated glass, enables a 2m tall glass windbreak and safety barrier. This installation configuration has been tested and accredited to withstand 1.5kN, making it suitable for light commercial use, including areas with tables or seating, such as restaurants or bars. This allowed the team to design and install a 2-metre-high glass windbreak that met both safety and performance standards.
The installation of the MEGAgrip safety barrier transformed the dining atmosphere at the seafront restaurant. Customers can now enjoy uninterrupted views of the ocean while being protected from the wind.
About MEGAgrip MEGAgrip is a heavy-duty, fully adjustable 3kN commercial balustrade system designed as a highly durable public safety barrier for large commercial projects and high footfall areas.
MEGAgrip uses a patented hook clamp technology to secure the glass in place. Internal glass clamps facilitate the easy alignment of glass within the channel and are suitable for a wide range of glass thicknesses, making MEGAgrip one of the most versatile balustrade systems available today. MEGAgrip is ideal for use as a public space barrier in busy locations such as transport hubs and venues, where there is a risk of overcrowding and as a tall windbreak for light commercial settings, such as restaurants. MEGAgrip is available in both base-fix and side-fix mounting options.
