Stainless is only as good as the weld and the finish behind it. Our handrail work is TIG welded with matched filler, ground back through progressive grits and re-polished at the joint, so a corner reads as one continuous tube rather than two pieces stuck together.
Grade selection is driven by where the rail actually sits. Anything within reach of salt air, chlorinated water or wash-down cleaning is specified in SS316 and passivated after fabrication — the single biggest factor in whether a rail still looks new in five years.
SS304 for internal and sheltered work, SS316 for coastal, pool-side and externally exposed installations.
TIG welded, ground and re-polished so joints disappear into the tube instead of showing a bead.
Vertical bar, horizontal wire rope, perforated infill or glass, detailed to the gap requirements of the project.
Post-fabrication passivation removes free iron from the surface so the passive layer reforms cleanly.
Chemical-anchored base plates or concealed core-drilled fixings depending on the substrate and finish.
Mirror, satin (No.4) and bead-blast finishes matched across a project so every rail in a building reads identically.
