FAQ About This Method

 

Can I install this method myself? Yes, even someone with no experience can easily install all our wire balustrade systems.

 

Do I need any special tools? Other than common handyman tools such as an electric drill and drill bits you will need a Hand Swaging Tool and a set of Wire Rope Cutters. You can purchase these tools and drill bits for easy installation of this system if required.

 

What size and type of stainless steel wire do I use? This method is almost always used with 3.0mm 7 x 7 stainless steel wire rope. This wire is the most functional for stainless steel wire balustrade systems due to its bright surface finish, attractive appearance, durability, strength and low stretch.

 

What spacing do I need between my wires? When using 3.0mm 7 x 7 stainless steel wire, you will usually need 80mm spacing (usually 11 runs) between your wires when using a standard one (1) meter high handrail. Please click here for more information on the current NCC Wire Balustrade Regulations.

 

Can I use this balustrade system on a stair or angled section? Yes, the Standard DIY System suits stair and angled sections.

 

What is the maximum length run I can do? The Standard DIY System can easily span up to 10 meters. Longer runs of up to 16 meters can be achieved when using a Tensioner at each end. Please contact Miami Stainless for further information.

 

What size hole should I drill through my intermediate posts? A 4.0mm hole through your intermediate posts will allow the stainless steel wire to pass through. Please note: If you are using grommets, the required drill size is 11/32".

 

Can I take my balustrade wire around corners? Miami Stainless highly recommends that you do not bend your wire around corners; this can fatigue the wire, put excessive stress on your posts, and make it difficult to get the required tension on your wire to meet NCC Regulations.

 

Can I use this method if I have timber posts? Yes, you can use this system with timber posts. Simply use screws to fasten the Saddles to your posts.

 

Can I use this method if I have metal posts? Yes, you can use this system with timber posts. Simply use Blind Rivets to fasten the Saddles to your posts.

 

What do I need to get a quote? To get a free, no obligation quote you will need to know how many sections you require and the length of each section. You will also need the height of your handrail between your decking or platform and the underside of your handrail.  You can use the Miami Stainless Balustrade Builder to compare different wire balustrade systems at your convenience or contact us directly here.
