Handrails and guardrails are installed in many different places — both in public utility buildings and in private homes or apartments. They usually go unnoticed — they stand, provide support, and there’s nothing to worry about. The situation changes, however, when the balustrade structure becomes loose or visible signs of corrosion appear. Material degradation significantly increases the risk of accidents, which can have serious consequences. That’s why, when installing such structures, it’s worth using the best available material right from the start — stainless steel.
The frame of a staircase or balcony must be not only durable but also extremely stable
A balustrade serves several basic functions, depending on its location. On a terrace, it primarily provides fall protection — even small heights can be potentially dangerous — while on stairs, it also serves as a support and handhold, helpful both when going up and down. Pulling or shaking the bars means applying specific forces to the structure, which under no circumstances should damage it. In terms of mechanical strength, stainless steel balustrade components are certainly among the very best. The components made from this material, available in the INOX Polska warehouse and our online store, make it possible to build a railing structure of virtually any shape. It’s simply a matter of selecting the right size and profile of each part, tailored to the needs and conditions of the installation site.
All stainless steel balustrade components must be properly assembled on site
When joining the selected components, special attention must be paid to precision during every step of the process. A loosely fitted elbow joint or a wobbly post may not necessarily cause a dangerous situation, but it will almost certainly create understandable distrust among users. It’s better to carry out the assembly a bit more slowly but accurately than to later make corrections or risk the building inspector issuing a decision to shut down the balustrade until the detected defects are fixed. In this respect, choosing stainless steel elements is also the right decision — their high strength and corrosion resistance mean that all types of damage occur far less frequently. At INOX Polska, we stock a wide range of components designed for both indoor and outdoor use. We warmly encourage you to explore our full range of stainless steel balustrade components!
