FAQs

• 1. What glass thicknesses are compatible with the spigots, handrails, andstiffeners?

  All components are designed to suit glass panels between 10mm and 21.5mm thick. This includes monolithic, toughened, and laminated glass, depending on the installation’s structural requirements.

• 2. Are the fittings suitable for outdoor and coastal environments?

  Yes. Every part is manufactured from marine-grade 316 stainless steel, offering excellent resistance to corrosion, salt exposure, and UV degradation. Both the Satin and Black powder-coated finishes are tested for outdoor use.

• 3. Can these fittings be used for both residential and commercial projects?

  Absolutely. The system meets the performance and durability standards required for domestic, public, and light commercial installations, including balconies, terraces, and stair balustrades.

• 4. Do I need special tools for installation?

  No specialist tools are required. A standard Allen key set, torque wrench, level, and drill are sufficient. Always follow torque specifications provided in the installation guide to prevent over-tightening.

• 5. How do I clean and maintain the hardware finish?

  Clean regularly with warm soapy water and a microfiber cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive pads. For coastal locations, a periodic rinse with fresh water helps maintain surface integrity and appearance.

• 6. Are these components compatible with other manufacturers’ systems?

  We recommend using components from the same hardware collection (Black or Satin) to ensure proper fit and load performance. Mixing brands may affect alignment and warranty coverage.

• 7. How many spigots do I need per linear metre of glass?

  Typically, two spigots per 1,000 mm panel are recommended for standard installations. For taller or wind-exposed balustrades, consult engineering guidelines or local building codes.

• 8. What is the difference between Satin and Black finishes?

  Only the finish varies — both use identical 316-grade stainless steel construction. Satin provides a brushed metallic look, while Black features a powder-coated matte surface for a modern aesthetic.

• 9. Can the spigots and fittings beadjusted after the glass has been installed?

  Yes. The adjustable spigot and stiffener designs allow for fine alignment after the
  glass is in place. You can slightly reposition or level the panels by loosening the clamp and re-torquing it using a calibrated wrench to ensure correct
  positioning and even load distribution.

• 10. Are the products compliant with UK building regulations?

  Yes. When installed according to The Outdoor Look guidelines, all fittings and systems meet or exceed relevant UK standards for balustrade load performance and safety.

• 11. What’s included in the Spigot System Full Kit?

  Each full kit includes spigots, cover plates, and accessories required for installation. Fixing bolts are not included and need to be purchased separately. The kit is designed for compatibility with 10–21.5mm frameless glass panels.

• 12. Do I need to seal around the glass or fittings?

  No sealing is required for the fittings themselves. However, silicone edge protection may be used between the glass and stainless-steel hardware in high-exposure environments for added vibration damping.
