Balustrade fittings
To install balustrades, maintaining safety is the first and main aim, which is why the strength and quality of balustrade fittings are very important. If low-quality fittings are used in the production of steel fences, the possibilities of many problems for people who use this type of fence on stairs or balconies increase.
As steel balustrade fittings are responsible for withstanding the weight pressure of people and fence components, if the balustrade fittings are made of weak material, they will break in a short time and as a result, the guards and the bases of the fence will be removed from their place. We suggest you read the Balustrade Brisbane page for more details.

The caps
These caps are used as coverage for the pipes, which are open. Using the cap, we prevent objects from entering the end of the fence where the pipe is finished. This piece is made of 304 steel and is used in size 38 or 51, depending on the used pipe. We suggest you read the Handrails Brisbane page for more details.
-
Handrail base
The handrail base is used to connect the handrails of the stair railing and the pool. These balustrade fittings have a diameter of 38, 16, 51, etc. in their ring and make them strong. We suggest you read the Staircase Brisbane page for more details.
-
Starter base
The base of the starter is a pipe used at the beginning of the fence and depending on the outer diameter of the used pipe; it can be used in different sizes and diameters. It consists of four parts:
- The steel ball or headboard is a spherical piece that is installed on the railing start bases for more beauty as well as the handle. It has different sizes and needs a base to connect to the base.
- The ball base connects the ball to the fence starter base.
- Vertebrate
- The stainless steel post base cover that is used under the railing bases is available in different sizes, including 38 and 51. These balustrade fittings are suitable for the starter base.
-
Angle Tube Connectors
The angle tube connector, which is one of the balustrade fittings components, is used to connect the fence handle to the base of the starter. One end of these angle tube connectors is for screwing to the wall or the ground, and the other end holds the 51 tube, which strengthens the tube. On the other hand, if the used pipe is the 38 size, the angle tube connector size should be 38, so that it can fit the pipe and screw it firmly to the wall or floor. We suggest you read the Pool fencing Brisbane page for more details.
