Guardrail are of different types. Each one serves a different purpose. But always class
has been the same. It could either be railings with solitary bar or rail with
panels or even railings with scrolls. You get the best from everything. Here
are some of those.
The different types of bodyguard
Different
types of railings can be installed:
· Guardrails with bars, vertical or
horizontal;
· Railings with scrolls;
· Railings in panels;
· Railing with a solitary bar.
Depending on
where they are placed - window, balcony or staircase, the use made of it -
inside or outside, but also depending on the style of the building and the
available budget, the railings can be made of wood, glass, stainless steel,
aluminum or wrought iron.
Guardrails with bars: specific rules
Certain
rules must be respected as to their height and the spacing of the bars:
Railing with vertical bars
· The spacing between the bars must be
at most 11 cm to prevent children from getting their head stuck;
· The distance between the low rail and
the high rail must be at most 90 cm;
· The distance between the concrete
support and the low rail must be at most 11 cm;
Railing with horizontal rungs
· The railing must be covered up to 45
cm high to avoid being scaled;
· The concrete support and the filling
must be separated by a maximum distance of 11 cm;
· The maximum space between two rails
is 18 cm, beyond the first 45 cm from the ground.
Curved railings
· Whatever the curves and volutes
formed by the design of the railing, it is not necessary that a parallelepiped
of 25 cm long and square section 11x11 cm can cross it.
Who is responsible for changing or
maintaining guardrails?
To answer
this query, it is necessary to determine if the guardrail is a privative part or
a shared part, what the regulation of co-ownership must in principle stipulate.
Generally,
guardrail gate are private. Their maintenance and their change are therefore up to
each co-owner. The co-owner who wishes to replace a guardrail on the facade
must first obtain the agreement of the syndicate of co-owners by a vote in
general assembly, because this change involves a modification of the exterior
appearance of the building.

Sometimes
the guardrails and balconies, on which they are placed, are considered common
areas with private enjoyment.
The change
of all the guardrails of the co-ownership can then be voted in general assembly
as part of a facelift or building improvement work. In this case, the expenses
incurred concern all the co-owners, who will participate to the extent of their
share. Depending on the case, they may be considered as general expenses or
special charges. They will then be divided according to the royalties held by
the co-owners, biased with a coefficient of utility in the second case.
