Is it possible that someone could lean on it (arm first, butt first, or whatever) and if it gave way they could overbalance?This isn't a structural part. It doesn't need to be strong. However it also shouldn't look like that!
It's not structural but it is a railing. I quite agree with bill it needs to have some joint strength there. People will lean, push, sit, kick, shake etc on them and although they ain't designed for that they need to be built to take it. I don't think they are up to much at all a 4mm bridge of pure coking mess that's been ground down till the point of cracking then re welded on top and ground down till it's paper thin.This isn't a structural part. It doesn't need to be strong. However it also shouldn't look like that!
Look, mate, if you came on here expecting professional welders to look at that and give you the thumbs up that everything will be ok...,
You surely can't look at your own pictures and believe that the issue has been addressed?
Dig deeper and you will probably find everything from joinery, plumbing and electrics are to the same sub standard, built to a cost that is too low for true quality.
Whilst I see what you're saying. These handrails are a compression fit onto the glass, which is the structural part. The handrails are bloody hard to remove once compressed onto their gasket, welded or not. The ends of the handrail won't be tied in to anything.Is it possible that someone could lean on it (arm first, butt first, or whatever) and if it gave way they could overbalance?
I agree that it's not structural, but I do think there's a latent H&S issue here.
Even more so if, in five years' time, something grisly happens and the lawyers stumble upon this thread
The wall tiles would distract me from the quality of the metalwork on those last few pics. Was the tiler out on the p155 with the welder ?
Those jumped out at me as well. I cant believe the standard of workmanship. I wouldn't except any of that, regardless of how much the project was.
The wall panels on the outside of the property, round the windows? I thought they looked pretty nice, granted the vertical lines are all random but that's the point, no?
There's no bond, regardless of whether its required ie just tiles, they look ****
No bond, as in grout missing? I know naff all about tiles hence my inquisition
As a total layman in terms of welding, I agree with both of the above!As a qualified welding inspector too I totally agree with all of back purges post.
