As part of an angled (stair) stainless steel balustrade. The support is placed at the top of a 50.8 x 50.8 square post (1.5mm wall thickness), and allows for flat base timber handrail or stainless steel tubing to be attached to it.
What is it made out of?
316 grade Stainless Steel in a Satin finish.
Can it be used for exterior applications?
As it is 316 grade Stainless Steel, it is more than suitable for use outside.
How do you fix it to the stainless steel tube?
For the DIY market you can use a suitable glue (found on our online shop). For the professional fabricator, you can weld and polish to create a seamless finish.
Without regular cleaning and maintenance discolouration of the surface of the stainless steel by corrosion (tea staining) can occur.
