The Harkk balustrade system consists of:
The VIEW post system:
The EDGE 67 post system:
The RECT 86 post system:
All systems are comprised of extruded aluminium posts and rails, aluminium and steel components, and glass infill panels. They can fix to existing or new concrete, steel or timber sub-framing, or to new concrete footings placed in ground.
All the handrails on the Harkk systems have a top curved face to prevent an object (eg a glass) being left on the rail. If this were to happen it would be a safety issue as the object may topple off and fall outside the balcony.

A variety of fixing methods and configurations have been designed and detailed for fixing the various Harkk components to existing frameworks which may be concrete, steel, timber or masonry.
While the Harkk system in general and the fixing compontents are designed to meet the required loads, no guarantee or responsibility can be taken by Magryn & Associates Pty Ltd or Harkk Pty Ltd for the strength or suitability of the substructure to support the balustrade or handrailing.
If the strength of the supporting substructure is not know to be adequate, it is recommended that the client or Harkk Pty Ltd engage suitable engineering expertise to prove that is has sufficient strength.
