RM-PRO™ DIVIDER Glass

Structural Aluminum Privacy Divider System

Privacy and wind screening between adjacent balconies, engineered to the same structural standard as the guard.

What sets it apart: A divider rather than a guard. It sits alongside any RM system to separate adjacent balconies, screen sightlines and cut wind.

System overview

The RM-PRO™ DIVIDER Glass is a structural aluminum privacy divider system designed to provide visual screening, wind mitigation and architectural separation between adjacent balcony and terrace spaces.

Structural aluminum framing with laminated glass or panel infill is available in mechanically fastened or welded configurations depending on project requirements.

Suitable for residential, commercial and hospitality developments where durable, low-maintenance privacy solutions are required.

02

Configuration

  • Structural aluminum posts and base components engineered for divider and screening applications
  • Available in mechanically fastened or welded configurations depending on structural and design requirements
  • Glass infill panels set within aluminum framing or channel systems
  • Variety of glass and panel options including laminated, fritted, tinted, opaque and decorative configurations
  • Fixed, rigid system once installed and secured
  • Modular fabrication supporting multiple heights, widths and layout configurations
  • Suitable for high-rise, mid-rise and low-rise applications
03

Materials

  • Structural aluminum components fabricated from 6061-T6 (mechanically fastened systems) or weld-appropriate alloys including 6061-T6, 6005A-T6 and 6063-T6 (welded systems)
  • Laminated safety glass or architectural panel infill
  • Stainless steel fasteners and concealed hardware
  • Isolation materials incorporated to mitigate galvanic interaction and moisture intrusion
Extrusions supplied by certified North American manufacturers with mill certification available.
04

Fabrication
