Test Results Data
Balustrade Infil Panels
Balustrade Infil Panels comply with the 500Nm referred to in BS8200:1985 (for containment of people) when dimensions/material specification/size and distance of fixing holes from outside edge do not exceed quoted test parameters and follow GA fixing recommendations.

Light Reflectance Values (LRV)
GA Ano-Sil Anodised: 58 LRV
GA Mill: Within range of 35-50 LRV (values dependant on variables including direction of measurement)
GA Satin Brush: Within range of 60-80 LRV (values dependant on variables including direction of measurement) BS 8300:2001 Design of buildings and their approaches to meet the needs of disabled people, Code of practice.

Panel-Fix Wall Panel Fixing System
GA WP1: Failure load 20.5KN.m
GA WP2: Failure load 9.8KN.m
These load results clearly demonstrate the strength of the GA Panel Fix system. The type of fixings used (screws/bolts) and load bearing qualities of the substrate will ultimately determine performance.

Step-Up Stair Trims
(Dot matrix inserts)
GA Mill:Mean Slip Resistance value
GA Ano-Sil Anodised: Mean Slip Resistance value
Test results identified the dot matrix pattern performing as well as the most slip resistant types of clay pavers (BS 7976-2:2002. BS EN 1344:2002)</p>

Posi-Grip Instant Access
Wind Load Positive Pressure:
Failure pressure 15.00kPa (equates to wind speed of 350mph)
Wind Load Negative Pressure:
Failure pressure 1.48kPa (equates to wind speed of 107mph)
The above results show GA Posi-Grip performance levels comfortably exceeding any internal air pressures that are likely to be encountered in buildings.
