Kozza KF 1000 – U-profile aluminium profile for all-glass balustrades 5000 mm with drainage
Description
Kozza KF 1000 – aluminium U profile for all-glass balustrades 5000 mm with drainage
Kozza KF 1000 is a premium class aluminium U-profile designed for mounting all-glass balustrades in flat systems. With its built-in water drainage system, 5000 mm length and top-fixing design, this profile forms a reliable foundation for elegant balustrades on balconies, terraces, in shopping centres and hotel complexes. An ideal solution for installation companies carrying out projects where aesthetics, durability and quick assembly are paramount.
Why choose the KF 1000 profile?
All-glass balustrades are one of the most popular solutions in modern architecture. They don't dominate the space, add lightness and elegance whilst providing complete safety. The KF 1000 profile from Kozza has been designed to maximise convenience for installers — top-fixing speeds up assembly and maintains the minimalist, frameless appearance of the entire structure. The 5000 mm length reduces the number of joints, resulting in higher aesthetics and faster completion of even large projects.
Strength confirmed by testing
The KF 1000 profile has undergone rigorous load testing. With glass thickness of 10+10+1.52 mm and height of 1.0 m, it achieves impressive strength parameters:
- Maximum wind load: 5.80 kN/m²
- Maximum impact load: 2.90 kN/m
- Tested for displacement under horizontal force of 500 kg
Stress analysis (FEA) confirms uniform load distribution in the profile cross-section, guaranteeing long-term stability of the structure even under extreme weather conditions.
Water drainage system
One of the key features of the KF 1000 profile is its built-in drainage system. Rainwater that gets inside the profile is effectively directed outside — eliminating the problem of moisture accumulation, water stains and accelerated corrosion. This solution significantly extends the service life of the entire balustrade and reduces maintenance requirements, which is crucial especially in projects exposed to weather conditions.
Fixing and adjustment
The profile is mounted from above, which facilitates access during installation and allows fixing elements to be hidden under floor or ceiling finishes. The system enables horizontal glass adjustment and deviation correction within ±1°, allowing the installer to precisely position the glass even on uneven substrate. Minimum anchor embedment depth is 20 mm.
Step-by-step installation instructions
Installation of the KF 1000 profile is simple and intuitive. The diagrams below show successive installation stages — from substrate preparation, through profile and spacer wedge installation, to glass mounting and end caps:
