While it remains on paper, it is a thin, almost abstract line; when it enters the executive project, it concentrates a series of technical choices that do not admit of approximations. It is in this gap between representation and construction that the theme of the parapet gains weight, turning into a true test case for the quality of the project.

The outline of the border, in balconies, terraces, stairs or pool edges, brings into play issues that are anything but secondary: continuity between interior and exterior, water management, precision of installation, cleanliness of detail. It is not just a protective element, but a design threshold where the consistency between intention and built result is measured.

In this area, Faraone operates, a company specializing in the development of systems for glass parapets, with consolidated experience in different application contexts. The work carried out over time results in tested and certified technical solutions, organized into systems designed to meet different design needs, maintaining a balance between performance and architectural quality.

Today Faraone updates its guide to parapet design, built as an operational rather than descriptive tool. The focus is on the real-world critical issues of the project and the construction site: balcony insulation, water channelization (integrated or not in the profiles) proper stratigraphy, secure fastenings, lighting integration and finishing details. A collection of PDF and DWG technical drawings accompanies this guidance, easing the transition to the execution phase.

The result is a guide that functions as a basis for concrete work. Not so much a support for choosing, but a tool for designing with greater control, relating architecture, technique and construction and reducing the distance between idea and realization.
