NINFA THE SERIES 6
In 2008, the first metres of what would later become a reference system for glass balustrades in Italy were shipped: the Ninfa system. At the time, this system was relegated to the last pages of the balustrade catalogue, after the stainless steel systems, occupying a small space with a single article. Five series later, after setting one record after another, the Ninfa balustrade system has definitely conquered designers and operators of the Italian sector, becoming a best-selling item with over 1,600,000 metres (994 miles) installed since 2009. Today, more than 2,000 km (1,243 miles) of Faraone balustrades have been installed in Italy and abroad since 2009. Now in its sixth generation, the Ninfa 6 series has new records to break, which we see as a natural evolution of the design inherited from the previous series. The entire range stems from our desire to always look forward, pursuing continuous innovation, improving performance, aesthetics, functionality, ease of installation and much more. Among the main new records you will find the simplicity of the management of glass thicknesses and the possibility of using taller glass panels, meeting today’s design requirements, with calculation verifications and laboratory tests in full compliance with the regulations. We do all this not because the market requires it, but because we strongly believe in what we do and always want to raise the level of the category. Welcome to our new innovation.

WHY USE THE NEW NINFA FARAONE BALUSTRADE SYSTEM? After more than 50 years in the world of Transparent Architecture, Ninfa is still the best-selling "all-glass" balustrade in Italy. Sabatino Faraone
The Ninfa glass balustrades by Faraone are synonymous with experience, comfort and safety for outdoor environments such as balconies, terraces, poolside fencing, fences; and for indoor environments such as stairways, galleries and walkways. The reason for using the new Ninfa series 6 balustrades by Faraone can be found in some of the following records achieved to date:
PRESIDENT
Flavio Faraone CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER / CEO
1. The Ninfa system by Faraone was the first industrialized all-glass balustrade to arrive on the market in Italy since 2009, previously there were mainly handcrafted or ‘do-it-yourself’ solutions; 2. To date, more than 2,000 km (1,243 miles) of Ninfa balustrades have been installed in Italy with total customer satisfaction; 3. Ninfa was the first balustrade to use the “only from the inside” assembly methodology since 2016 and today it reduces assembly times by 40% compared to the market average; 4. Ninfa 6th series is the first glass balustrade system that fully complies with static calculations verified by our technical department, offering unmatched performance; 5. Ninfa the 6th series is the first to present its technology package with the "RS system"; 6. Ninfa series 6 offers high customisation and prestigious finishes for the profile and for the glass; 7. NINFA 116, the profile with mounting flush with the wall and/or for solutions with floating floors. Ninfa the 6th series is not just a product. faraone.it

A RECORD THAT IS STILL UNDEFEATED: INSTALLATION FROM THE INSIDE ONLY Install-time optimization
OPTIMIZED ASSEMBLY TIMES
When the Faraone R&D department designs a balustrade, it also considers the installation phases. That's why all the NINFA series 6 technology is even easier and quicker to install. The glass is assembled exclusively from the inside to offer a better installation experience and greater safety for the installer, who is not forced to work from the outside.

THE IDEAL TECHNOLOGICAL PACKAGE 1 - NINFA system 2 - Safety glass
Only with the NINFA system and the appropriate safety glass can outstanding performance be achieved in full compliance with regulations. The knowledge of the materials used such as aluminium and glass combined with their technological capabilities has allowed Faraone to develop increasingly high-performance systems. This is thanks to the Technology Package consisting of the NINFA system (profile, RS, base, fixing) and the suitable structural glass. Why are they both essential? The NINFA system concerns Faraone’s know-how: from resistance performance (based on the intended use and the glass used) to installation needs and ease of assembly. The Structural Glass, on the other hand, concerns the production technique of the glass sheets, the hardening and processing methods that make this material, basically fragile, into a resistant and high-performing one. The performance of a glass balustrade depends mainly on the number of panes that make up the balustrade, their thickness and the type of interlayer that is inserted inside.

TYPES OF INTERLAYER
One of the main steps in glass processing to increase its resistance fourfold.
We calculate and test the resistance levels of Ninfa balustrades in compliance with current regulatory standards.
In addition to the thickness of the glass panes, it is important to insert the Tempered-Hardened glass on the outside and the Tempered glass on the inside.
Each NINFA glass balustrade is designed for specific uses.
The assembly and plumb alignment of the glass are faster and easier.
It is an essential element that determines the behaviour of the glass even after breaking. Use “hard” plastic interlayer for superior resistance.
GUARANTEED GLASS HEIGHT
Thanks to the data of our tests, in addition to the types of glass, we are able to indicate the maximum height of each glass relative to the intended use.

NINFA SERIES 6 AND ITS POTENTIAL The secret of the new glass balustrades is in the details.
THE IMPORTANCE OF THE ALUMINIUM SHOCK ABSORBER PROFILE
What is important to know is that you have to choose the right materials for the intended uses. This is true for aluminium, too: there are different alloys and different hardness levels that determine its characteristics depending on the use; consequently, this aspect also applies to the balustrades. Ninfa series 6 was born from a deep knowledge of how materials behave, which made it possible to develop a system with the right stiffness and elasticity to achieve an optimal shock-absorbing effect. It is easy to design a “heavy profile” (rigid and resistant) that is not optimized for glass. It is difficult, very difficult, to create a “shock-absorbing profile” (elastic and resistant) designed to work together with the glass. In the following pages you will discover the surprising results achieved by Ninfa series 6.

THE FUNDAMENTAL ROLE OF ACCESSORIES: THE RS SYSTEM Immediately after the profile, we find the heart of the new NINFA technology: the RS system of internal accessories. Having a profile with exceptional performance is not enough, if it is not accompanied by a system of accessories that are equally high-performing. The new RS system, an unprecedented glass clamping and adjustment system, allows you to set the glass plumb and tighten it in just a few quick steps, achieving a complete composite system. Furthermore, the glass thickness change system is also new; it is done simply by replacing the pressure blocks with a single click.
The Ninfa 6 series has left nothing to chance, thanks to the gasket made with a special compound that allows it not to shrink over time, not to yellow and always remain under pressure on the glass. FIXING: CHEMICAL OR MECHANICAL? This is the question that designers and installers ask us most often: which fastening do you recommend? Fastening is a fundamental element in any application. Whether it's a window, an awning, a canopy, each product must have a fixing suitable to hold its weight under certain conditions. I can assure you that the fixing for the balustrades is of fundamental importance. Since as far back as 2008, with the first Ninfa systems, floor fixing has always been a primary element — so much so that throughout the design of the various Ninfa systems over the years, it has always been the first element to be taken into consideration.
THE GASKETS: ADVANTAGES OF THE NEW DESIGN AND COMPOUND Have you ever thought of gaskets as an important element for a glass balustrade? They are not needed only to avoid contact of the glass with aluminium, but also to limit the passage of water. Here too, a simple gasket that merely plays a minor role is not enough — it must take on a truly leading role. The compound must be designed in such a way as not to expand or shrink, and to maintain its colour over time despite its exposure to different weather conditions and atmospheric agents. On the technical side, it must be easy to insert and must adhere to the glass in the various conditions of inclination.
19
NINFA THE SERIES 6
The fixing system indicated by Faraone is the only one able to guarantee a perfect fastening strength, which is verified by calculation and carried out in several tests performed both in our test laboratory and at the certification bodies. - threaded rod certified according to the applicable standard - a corresponding CERTIFIED chemical anchor recommended by the manufacturer, not just any chemical resin! Is the mechanical fixing not up to standard? Let me be clear, even the mechanical fixing offers the necessary guarantees if you are sure that you have a “guaranteed” concrete. This is why fixing with a chemical resin offers all the guarantees needed for those who do not want to have problems after the installation.
proper installation, water infiltration can be avoided. However, we wanted to go further with two important technical measures: - the use of epoxy resin to limit water ingress (waterproof) - external drainage outlets on the entire new Ninfa 6 series
WATER DRAINAGE ON THE PROFILE The first question that is asked by the designer and the customer is: where does the water go? Water has always been a hassle for all those dealing with outdoor balustrades. You never know where it comes from. Even when everything is planned and well-designed, water can sometimes seep through any micro-crack and become a problem.
This prevents water from infiltrating the fixing points, while any excess water drains through the drainage outlets (just as in window systems).
When it comes to the balustrade, the utmost attention must be paid during outdoor installation to: - the gasket along the glass - the seal between glass panels - fixing - water stagnating near the profile due to the inclination and the lack of drainage provisions. - do not use polyester resins, they are not suitable for the required loads. By paying attention to all these points, and with a

profile painted according to QUALICOAT and SEASIDE system and anodised according to QUALANOD. The main components of a balustrade system are: - Painted or anodised aluminium profile (supporting structure); - Floor fixing bolts; - Laminated tempered/tempered or tempered/ hardened glass 8.8 or 10.10 (5/16”. 5/16” or 3/8”. 3/8”) + interlayer; - Gaskets;
The more you live in areas affected by atmospheric agents, such as near the sea, the more maintenance you will need to do. With an aluminium and glass balustrade (with suitable anodising or painting) you can rest assured for many years. These materials are widely used in architecture to last over time. This type of balustrade consists of an aluminium
Maintenance with specific antirust treatments for common metal balustrades is recommended, to prevent them from being corroded by time, losing beauty and safety.

WE ARE GREEN Faraone chooses sustainable and recyclable raw materials for its products and their packaging. The management of its own special waste is accomplished according to the Italian legislation. GLASS . Glass is the sustainable material par excellence. Glass can be reused an unlimited number of times, while keeping its properties intact. In addition, at the production level, re-melting the waste material implies a lower waste of energy and raw materials. It is also an energy-efficient material for its applications in architecture and design. (Such as, for example, the application of glass with photovoltaic cells for the balustrades). ALUMINIUM . Aluminium is today one of the most common materials in the construction sector, both because it is optimal for countless uses and, from an environmental point of view, for its quality, thanks also to the new carbon-free production methods. To date, aluminium is one of the best choices in terms of sustainability, as it is a 100% recyclable material and significantly reduces energy consumption during production, while maintaining its qualitative performance intact. STEEL . Steel is thought to be the most recycled material in the world, of which Italy holds the record in Europe with about 80%. High strength and durability make it an essential material in the construction world, as well as beneficial for the environment and the economy.
PACKAGING . All our packaging is made from recyclable materials, starting with the cardboard used to make the product packaging.

STRUCTURAL INNOVATION Key features of the NINFA 6 STADIO profile The Ninfa 6 Stadio profile is a glass balustrade system designed by Faraone engineers for sports facilities and spectator stands (stadiums, arenas, school gyms, swimming pools, racetracks).
h 3 metres
The first thing that strikes you about the Ninfa Stadio system is its extraordinary dimensional capacity, reaching up to three metres in height. Achieving this maximum height means the balustrade can serve as a true transparent protective barrier. It is a testament to the structural stability of the aluminium profile which, combined with specifically engineered adjustment components and dedicated laminated safety glass, is able to safely anchor and stabilise such a tall element, maximising uninterrupted views. For heights of 3 metres (9’-10”) the use of a handrail is recommended

1. VERTICALITY BEYOND LIMITS: BALUSTRADES WITH HEIGHTS UP TO 3 METRES
Udine Stadium
2. SYMMETRICAL SAFETY: A COMBINATION OF INSTALLATION EFFICIENCY AND STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY WITHOUT EQUAL This is the crucial characteristic that differentiates the Ninfa 6 Stadio profile and defines its reliability in crowded public spaces: guaranteeing exceptional resistance performance to horizontal static linear loads in a perfectly symmetrical manner. This bidirectional resistance at maximum load is essential to ensure the balustrade maintains its structural properties. At the same time, the Ninfa 6 Stadio profile features a patented adjustment system that allows correction of glass alignment and inclination operated exclusively from the inside of the balustrade. Its internal architecture ensures that the fixing system and gaskets do not suffer differential settlements.
75
NINFA 6 STADIO
3. CERTIFICATION FOR THE EXTREME: PERFORMANCE UNDER "STADIUM-LEVEL" LOADS Top-load and wind-load tests verify the resistance and stability of glass balustrades.
The name itself, “Stadio”, derives from its extremely high-level certification. This profile has passed the most stringent tests required by the UNI EN 13200-3, specific to spectator structures in sports facilities.
The top load (1) simulates the horizontal thrust on the upper edge, while the wind load (2) reproduces the pressures and depressions due to wind action. These tests guarantee the structural safety and fall-prevention function of the system.
The performance level: The EN 13200-3 standard simulates extreme loads and the profile has been verified by calculation for the 500 kg/m class (336 lb/ft). Laboratory tests have demonstrated the capacity to resist loads of up to 900 kg/m (605 lb/ft). This level of robustness is the ultimate guarantee of a product that makes no compromises on safety in public spaces.

NINFA LED: INSIDE THE PROFILE Installation of the LED strip in the cladding To optimize installation processes and ensure faster, more convenient maintenance, the new LED position has been moved inside the cladding. This upgrade offers several benefits and corresponding adaptations: - Total Accessibility: In the event of servicing or replacing the LED strip, restoration work can be carried out directly by removing the cladding, without needing to remove the glass. - Cost Efficiency and Standardization: Enables the use of standard fixings (threaded rod, nut, and washer) on the Ninfa 106 and Ninfa 56 profiles as well. - RS Component Update: Following this geometric transition, all L-shaped components of the RS adjustment system will no longer be transparent, but will be produced in a colour coordinated with the corresponding T-piece.
Technical Specifications for the LED Strip: For geometric reasons and to ensure proper mechanical installation within the profile, the LED strip used must meet the following requirements: Fixing: The strip must be equipped with an adhesive backing on the rear to allow perfect anchoring and alignment within the dedicated channel inside the aluminium cladding. Maximum Width: 10 mm Maximum Height: 7 mm It is recommended to use LED strips with a protection rating of at least IP65/68 and with heat resistance ratings certified according to the MS CG-12 and GM6073 tests.
