Description
For a clean glass balustrade with no handrail across the top, on a heavier 48.3mm post. This is a ready-made 48.3mm 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 | 48.3mm 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 heavier post. At 48.3mm it is the larger of the two common stainless post sizes, a little more solid to the eye and the hand than 42.4mm. Choose one size for the whole run so the posts and clamps match.
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 galleries.
304 grade, for indoor and sheltered balustrades. 304 stainless suits homes, offices, hotels, 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 galleries in homes, offices, hotels and shops, and on sheltered terraces and balconies away from salt.

Is this the right post?
| Your situation | Choose |
|---|---|
| 48.3mm run, straight between two panels | This capped mid post |
| 48.3mm run, the start or end | 304 end post 48.3mm with cap |
| 48.3mm run, a 90 degree corner | 304 corner post 48.3mm with cap |
| You would rather use the slimmer 42.4mm post | 304 mid post 42.4mm with cap |
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 mix 48.3mm and 42.4mm posts?
It is best not to. Keep one size along a run so the posts, caps and clamps all match.
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.
