Description
For a clean glass balustrade with no handrail across the top. This is a ready-made 42.4mm x 2.0mm satin 304 stainless mid post, 1100mm tall with a radiused cap, a 120mm base plate already welded on, and the clamp holes already drilled. It comes with four D-shaped glass clamps, rubbers and screws, and a cover plate. A mid post holds two glass panels in a straight line, one each side, and the glass forms the top edge of the balustrade. The price shown is for one post. Glass and floor fixings are not included.
What is in the box
| Post | 42.4mm x 2.0mm 304 stainless, satin, 1100mm overall, clamp holes drilled |
|---|---|
| Post cap | Radiused, included |
| Base plate | 120mm, welded on, with three slotted fixing holes |
| Glass clamps | 4, D-shaped, two each side, with rubbers for 8, 10 or 12mm glass and fixing screws |
| Cover plate | 1, to hide the base plate and bolts |
| Not included | Glass panels, floor fixings |
Why choose this post
No welding, no drilling. The base plate is welded on and the clamp holes are drilled at 780mm centres, 160mm in from each end, so the glass sits at the same height on every post along the run.
A frameless look. With a cap instead of a handrail, the top of the balustrade is the glass edge itself, which keeps views open on landings, mezzanines and terraces.
Part of a matching set. It is designed to go with the matching 304 end post and 304 corner post with the same cap and clamps.
304 grade, for indoor and sheltered balustrades. 304 stainless suits homes, offices, shops and other dry or sheltered places. Near the sea, round pools or where road salt is spread, a 316 balustrade is the better choice.
No load rating is published for a capped run without a handrail. Glass with no handrail on top has to carry the load itself, so the glass type and thickness, post spacing, fixings and floor need checking by whoever signs off the design.
Where it is used
Use it for glass balustrades along landings, stair edges, mezzanines and raised floors in homes, offices and shops, and for sheltered terraces and balconies away from salt.

Is this the right post?
| Your situation | Choose |
|---|---|
| Straight run between two panels, glass top edge, no handrail | This capped mid post |
| The end of a run | 304 end post with cap |
| A 90 degree corner | 304 corner post with cap |
| You want a round handrail along the top | 304 mid post kit with handrail saddle |
Fitting and care
Set out the run and stand each post in place, marking through the slots in the base plate. The cover plate goes over the post from the top, so fit it before the cap goes on, then bolt the post to the floor with anchors suited to the floor and lower the cover plate over the base plate. Fit the clamps with the rubbers for your glass thickness, set the panels in and tighten the clamp screws evenly.
Clean with warm soapy water and a soft cloth, wiping along the grain, and avoid chlorine bleach and wire wool.
Frequently asked questions
Is the price for one post?
Yes, one mid post with its cap, clamps and cover plate. A run needs one mid post between each pair of panels, plus end or corner posts.
Is the glass included?
No. Glass and floor fixings are not included. The clamps take 8, 10 or 12mm glass.
Can I add a handrail later?
This post is made to take a cap, not a handrail saddle. If you want a handrail, choose the mid post kit with a handrail saddle instead.
Can I use it outdoors?
Under cover and away from salt, yes. Near the sea, round pools or where road salt is spread, choose 316.
