Features
- Faster glass pane installations – instal glass-balustrades and handrails up to 2.5 times faster than traditional installation methods thanks to an innovative adhesive installation system
- Enhanced safety – HIT-RE 60 Glass mixer attachment enables mortar injection from the inner side of the glass pane, eliminating the risk associated with working on the exposed side panels at height
- Simplified maintenance – the HIT-HY 270 mortar does not bond to the glass, allowing you to easily remove and replace panes as needed
- Do more with less – the HIT-Glass system enables design optimisation, helping to reduce overall mortar consumption and material costs
- User friendly system for glass balustrade installation – automatic mixing of the components helps to ensure high quality mortar and reliable installations every time
Applications
- Ideal for serial installation of glass panels into metal shoes
- Fastening glass panes for internal and external glass balustrades and handrails
- Fastening glass panes on curved and vertically inclined surfaces (up to 35°) in glass balustrade applications

What is the HIT-Glass system solution?
A faster, simpler, safer and more sustainable solution for glass balustrades and glass handrails
Glass balustrades and handrails can be complex and time-consuming to design, install and maintain. But with the HIT-Glass system solution we have simplified the workflow for design engineers and installers. For installers, the HIT-Glass system solution helps provide a faster, simpler, safer and more sustainable installation method for the glazing and fixing of glass balustrades and handrails. For design engineers, the HIT-Glass system solution offers higher performing and value engineered designs that are compliant with industry test standards thanks to Hilti PROFIS Engineering software. You also get more peace of mind as the HIT-Glass system solution installation simpler, helping to reduce human error during installation.
For installers: Benefits of HIT-Glass for glass balustrades
Install glass-balustrades and glass handrails up to 2.5 times faster than traditional installation methods, depending on individual conditions.
Inject HIT-HY 270 mortar from the inner side of the glass panel, reducing the risk associated with working on the exposed side panels at height.
Remove and replace glass panels with ease as mortar does not chemically bond to the glass or metal U-profil, unlike other chemical solutions like grout.
HIT-Glass foam positioning aids can be tailored in length to meet jobsite-specific application needs and act like formwork for the morta, ensuring that only the exact amount of mortar required fills the U-profile.
