The Flexible Drill Bit – Wedge Adjustment Tool is a specialist accessory engineered to simplify the fine-tuning of frameless channel wedges during installation. Its flexible shaft allows access to tight or obstructed areas without disassembling installed glass or channel hardware. Compatible with standard drill drivers, this tool ensures precise torque delivery when adjusting the compression wedges that secure the glass panels in place. Made from stainless steel for durability and rust resistance, it is a must-have for professional installers who value efficiency and accuracy. Ideal for adjusting alignment in black, anodised, or mill finish channel systems during both installation and maintenance stages.

All channel kits are designed to support 15 mm, 17.5 mm, 19 mm, and 21.5 mm glass panels. This includes monolithic, toughened, and laminated glass types. Always ensure the selected glass thickness complies with project-specific load requirements and local building regulations.
Only the finish treatment varies — the structural aluminium profile remains identical. Black Finish: Powder-coated for a sleek matte appearance and high UV/weather resistance. Anodised Finish: Electrochemically treated for a satin metallic tone and superior corrosion protection. Mill Finish: Raw aluminium that can be powder coated in any RAL colour for custom design integration.
Yes. All channel kits and fittings are made from high-grade aluminium, ensuring long-term performance in outdoor and coastal environments. The Anodised and Black powder-coated finishes provide additional protection against corrosion, UV exposure, and salt conditions. For coastal projects, regular rinsing with fresh water is recommended to maintain surface integrity.
All systems use a base-fix configuration, allowing direct mounting to concrete or steel substrates. Each kit includes precision wedges and EPDM gaskets to clamp the glass panels securely. Follow torque recommendations and substrate anchoring standards for safe, compliant installation.
Yes. The included wedge and gasket system allows fine-tuning of the glass alignment after it has been set in the channel. Adjustments can be performed using the Flexible Drill Bit – Wedge Adjustment Tool, ensuring perfect vertical alignment without glass removal.
Connecting Pins ensure perfect alignment between adjoining channel lengths. They are inserted into pre-drilled holes at the channel ends to maintain straightness and spacing across longer runs, resulting in a continuous, professional appearance.
Technically, yes — but it is not recommended for visible sections, as colour tone and sheen may differ slightly between finishes. If mixed finishes are required, always confirm the visual match before final installation.
Use a soft cloth and mild soapy water for routine cleaning. Avoid abrasive pads or acidic cleaners. For coastal environments, rinse periodically with fresh water to prevent salt accumulation. For Mill Finish components, apply a powder coating or clear sealant for long-term protection.
Yes. When installed according to The Outdoor Look’s installation guide and using glass of the correct specification, the system meets or exceeds UK Building Regulations Part K requirements for safety and structural performance.
Absolutely. The Mill Finish version is supplied as untreated aluminium, allowing it to be powder-coated in any RAL colour to match specific architectural designs or brand aesthetics. Always ensure powder coating is carried out by a certified applicator to preserve structural integrity.
No specialist tools are required beyond standard site equipment. Recommended tools include: Allen key set, torque wrench, spirit level, drill driver, and the optional Flexible Drill Bit – Wedge Adjustment Tool for precise glass alignment.
Regularly check the glass alignment and wedge tension, especially in outdoor applications subject to temperature fluctuation or vibration. Clean debris from channels, re-torque fasteners if needed, and follow The Outdoor Look’s maintenance schedule to maintain a flawless frameless finish for years to come.
