Stainless Steel Balustrades

A stainless steel balustrade is a necessary component in the construction of a balcony, landing, staircare, or any area you would like to keep people safe and to prevent falling. Balustrades support these to provide structural integrity and allow the structures to be stronger, safer and easier to use. Stainless steel is rust free and will not get affected by wear and tear, therefore making it very cost effective, durable and giving you the best longevity possible.

We call these mid-rails. The small 12-14mm diameter mid-rails are mainly used in a decorative manner, as they do not achieve the required balustrade loading to be used as a guarding. However, larger 26mm diameter mid-rails will meet the loading requirements of BS6180.

Stainless steel balustrades can vary in price depending on the size, fittings and finishings chosen. However, they are the more affordable option in balustrades that we offer, being a cost effective material as well as cost effective to maintain, allowing your budget to stretch further. There is no long term or ongoing maintenance needed. For more specific information, feel free to drop a message or use our 3D balustrade planner.

Stainless Steel balustrades are very easy to maintain and keep aesthetically pleasing to the eye. No matter where it is located, these balustrades work well both inside and outside of a property with very little ‘elbow grease’ needed to keep them clean. For any surface marks you may have, just simply wipe the stainless steel with a clean cloth of buff, providing a high shine. However, if you have more stubborn marks, you can use a mix of warm water and soap with a soft cloth, or even a soft bristled brush. The reason stainless steel is such a desired and used material is because it is so easy to maintain, durable and cost effective.
