Correct application The SKYFORCE Juliet balcony system can only be specifi ed, fabricated and installed as directed in this technical documentation. Any deviation is prohibited.
System description Disclaimer This product has been manufactured by Onlevel GmbH. REHAU Ltd has no liability for any injury or damage to the property as a result of product or installation failures. The system of invisibility SKYFORCE offers an innovative fall protection solution for french balconies.
Fall protection explained 04.01 Term definition Many countries have fall protection requirements for heights of 0.5 - 1 m. For the meaning of barrier height and fall height see Fig. 5. Barrier height 04.02 Proof of stability Fall Height Fall protection window units need to be approved by a structural engineer.
150mm. See also - installation guidelines. The units owner in addition to the above it needs to be verified displayed need to be checked for suitability for the use as that only approved REHAU window systems are used fall protection by a structural engineer. with SKYFORCE.
Detail drawings 05.01 General information SKYFORCE must not protrude past the flat frame body X according to detail drawings. See page 11-12. Screw must not drill through reinforcement fold 05.02 Horizontal deductions Single units Glass edge protector = Glass - 32 Legend Glass (Glass width)
05.03 Vertical deductions * In case the distance "Y" between the frame top edge and glass bottom edge is greater than 30mm an additional glass edge protector needs to be used for the bottom glass edge. The frame top edge is the reference point for the barrier height.
05.04 Fastening overview GENEO • The SKYFORCE elements need to be positioned in a way that • Pre-drill for steel reinforcement thickness: allows for the entire aluminium section to sit flush on the • 1.5 mm with Ø 5 mm, frame profile.

05.06 Installation example - TOTAL70 The installation of SKYFORCE happens after all building envelope works have been finished. A minimum distance of 5 mm between the finished aperture and the SKYFORCE are needed to install the aluminium cap. The glass installation is done from the exterior, make use of scaffolding where needed.
Fabrication 06.01 Transport and storage of aluminium profiles We recommend the following saw blade: • Blade type: HM The SKYFORCE sets are packed into cardboard boxes and • Diameter: 300 - 400 mm therefore sufficiently protected against mechanical influence. • Tooth shape: Trapezoid-flat, negative Mill finished extrusion lengths of aluminium need special •...
If SKYFORCE is installed before the end of other building 06.06 Cutting the mounting profile construction it is recommended to use protective film. Due to the ageing process of the adhesive used on such films, they The mounting profile can be cut from the following: should not stay on the profile for extended periods of time.
06.08 Drill pattern for screws The shortening of standard set sizes is done according to the following pattern: 1000 1100 1200 PL in mm Screw PL in mm Screw PL in mm Screw PL in mm Screw PL in mm Screw PL in mm Screw...

Statics 07.01 Determination of loads In order to build a french balcony it is necessary to determine the wind and barrier load. Both are necessary for SKYFORCE. Wind load: For static calculation it is necessary to consider the wind load according to DIN EN 1991-1-4 (NA). The wind pressure w includes the velocity pressure q and the external pressure coefficient c ∙...

07.05 How to read the spreadsheets Step Know your wind load (provided by the planner) Determine the horizontal payload (table 10) Take the necessary screw retention, given in tables 14-16 and find the correct reinforcement in table 17 Use the horizontal payload as well as the wind load from tables 14-16 and compare the glass width and height with table 18.0 to 18.3 to find the correct glass make up Table 12: How to read the spreadsheets Step...
Static tables Retention force Installation screw F t,Ed Based on the glass height the following retention forces have been calculated. The screw retention including the deduction of the safety factor F needs to be bigger than the calculated retention force needed F .
Double folded steel, wall thickness at screw position 2 x 1.5 mm or 3 mm Double folded steel, wall thickness at screw position 2 x 2.0 mm or 4 mm In case of use of any non-REHAU reinforcements the approval of the system expires.
Glass tables Glass thickness tables The following pages show the results of the maximum allowed wind loads in conjunction with the barrier load for the various glass types and thickness’s. The glass has been tested with a fall height of 900 mm in category A. Maximum permissible wind load in kN/m²...
