FAQ

Where would you normally use a stainless steel post?
To structurally support a balustrade on a deck, balcony or staircase; in particular, wire or glass balustrade.

What is the difference between a post for Flat Balustrade and Angled Balustrade?
Angled posts are designed to be used on staircases, ramps and uneven surfaces where the handrail is not in line with the ground (on an angle). Flat posts are designed to be used on flat/horizontal surfaces only.

Which saddles go with this post ?
Any of the saddles found here.

Why are some posts 1.6mm and others are 3.0mm ?
This refers to the wall thickness of the post.
In most cases the 1.6mm wall thickness will be enough for use on corner, end and intermediate posts with glass balustrade.
For wire balustrade, you may want to consider going with the heavier 3.0mm wall thickness; particularly in the case of a free-standing end post where the correct legal tension required for the wire cable could cause the post to distort. For intermediate and corner posts; the 1.6mm wall thickness is usually enough.

What is it made out of ?
316 Stainless Steel in a Satin Finish.
