Description
The post that finishes each end of a frameless glass balustrade. This is a ready-made 42.4mm x 2.0mm satin 304 stainless end post, 1100mm tall with a radiused cap, a 120mm base plate already welded on, and the clamp holes already drilled on one side. It comes with two D-shaped glass clamps, rubbers and screws, and a cover plate. An end post holds one glass panel, on one 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 on one side |
|---|---|
| Post cap | Radiused, included |
| Base plate | 120mm, welded on, with three slotted fixing holes |
| Glass clamps | 2, D-shaped, on one 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, matching the mid and corner posts so the glass sits at the same height along the whole run.
A clean finish at each end. The clamps are on one side only, so nothing sticks out past the last panel, and the radiused cap matches the rest of the run.
Part of a matching set. Use it with the matching 304 mid post between panels and the 304 corner post at 90 degree turns, all 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 at the start and end of glass balustrades along landings, stair edges, mezzanines and raised floors in homes, offices and shops, and on sheltered terraces and balconies away from salt.

Fitting and care
Set out the run and stand each post in place, marking through the slots in the base plate. Turn the end post so its clamps face along the run towards the glass. 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 panel 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 end post with its cap, two clamps and cover plate. A straight run needs two end posts, plus a mid post between each pair of panels.
Is the glass included?
No. Glass and floor fixings are not included. The clamps take 8, 10 or 12mm glass.
Can it be used against a wall?
Yes, as the last post next to a wall, with the clamps facing the glass and the plain side towards the wall.
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.
