Description

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

What is the difference between a post for Horizontal Balustrade and Angled Balustrade?
The saddle used for the Horizontal Balustrade posts, does not pivot, whereas the ones used for the Angled Balustrade posts does pivot.
The Angled Balustrade posts can be used for horizontal and angled balustrade (ie. like on a staircase); whereas the Horizontal Balustrade posts can only be used for horizontal balustrade.

Which saddles go with this post ?
Curved Saddle
Flat Saddle

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 is best suited to intermediate posts; whereas the heavier 3.0mm wall thickness is best for end or corner posts.

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

How should you fasten it to the ground/deck?
Due to the large number of surfaces that the post could be fixed to, we do not supply any fasteners.
We suggest that you speak to a local hardware store for more info.

Cleaning & Maintenance

Without regular cleaning and maintenance discolouration of the surface of the stainless steel by corrosion (tea staining) can occur.

How to reduce the risk of tea staining

  • Absence of corrosives – especially salt, chlorine, cleaning acids etc.
  • Atmospheric Conditions – lower temperatures and low humidity are better.
  • Surface orientation – Open exposure to rain washing is better
  • Surface Finish – In general a smoother finish is better. where practical mirror polish finish may perform better than a brushed finish.
  • Chemical cleanliness or passivation of the surface improves corrosion resistance
  • Appropriate grade selection for conditions
  • Regular Maintenance to limit the accumulation of corrosives
