Paving finish

A complete range of stunning Ryno finishes is available with various thicknesses of tile to account for increased foot traffic and loading. 

Our stylish & newly expanded range of pavers is inspired by nature and designed to complement the aesthetics of any interior & exterior design. 

Each is hard-wearing and ultra-durable, with excellent slip resistance.

Balcony membrane

Placed between the system and balcony steels. In the unlikely event of tile breakage, membrane provides complete safety and fall restraint for balcony user and eliminates risk of falling debris.

Top rail

Aluminium top rails provide complete support for the paving. They can be cut and laid at any centre interval, to cater for varied paving course widths. Rails feature an integrated 2mm shock-absorbent gasket, a channel for the paving spacers to lock into, and side flanges for robust fixing into the primary rail.

Spacers

Paving spacers twist into top rail to ensure equal spacing of slabs and no movement.

BalcaSmart™ Rail Options

Stop brackets

Paving stops hold paving in place to ensure no movement because of foot traffic. They fix into the top rail around the perimeter of paving area.
Non-combustible separation layer

Placed between balcony steels and balcony membrane, the non-combustible separation layer is used to prevent galvanic corrosion.
Paving spacers

Cross-spacers, t-spacers, and straight-spacers are available to achieve a wide range of paving formats and consistent spacing between slabs, with 2 or 4mm spacer thickness options. Spacers lock into place in the top rail with a simple twist action.
Top rail options

As always with Ryno systems, options are available to keep the system as efficient as possible. Rails come as standard in 27mm depth, but where existing balcony steels are set at more than 600mm apart, a 62mm version is available to double the span capability all the way up to 1200mmm.

Edge spring clip

A simple but effective addition to a paving area. The edge spring clip fits on top of paving supports around the periphery of paved areas to ensure uniform spacing against wall abutments, helping ensure rapid drainage. The spring mechanism tensions the tile bed, counteracting creepage and movement.

Wind uplift solutions

Wind uplift is now compatible with rail systems. The mechanical fixings fit onto the rail and secure the paving finish in place.
