How to choose
- Post system: match the central hole to the post. Most bases suit 42.4 mm tube, four suit 40×40 mm profile and one suits 48.3 mm.
- Base size and thickness: diameters or widths run from 80 to 100 mm, and thickness from 4 to 8 mm. Choose the thicker or reinforced versions where more rigidity is needed.
- Finish: 8 products have a raw finish, ready for welding and further processing. 7 have a satin finish.
- Mounting holes: round holes and slotted holes are both available. Slots (9×20 mm or 11×20 mm) allow the anchor bolt position to be adjusted.
- Installation method: choose a welded base, or the PINOX base if the post is to be driven.
Typical applications
These bases join balustrade posts to the substrate in stainless steel balustrade systems. The post is welded into the central hole, either in the workshop or on site. Slotted holes help when fitting onto uneven surfaces. After installation, the mounting area can be hidden with a dedicated cover plate, sold separately.
Frequently asked questions
Which base suits a 42.4 mm post?
Choose a base listed for the 42.4 mm system, with a 42.4 mm central hole. Ten products in this category fit that system, in 80, 85 and 100 mm diameters.
Can the mounting area be covered after installation?
Yes. The product descriptions mention a dedicated cover plate, available separately, which hides the mounting part once the base is fitted.
How do I adjust for uneven substrates?
Use a base with slotted or oval mounting holes. They allow the anchor bolt position to be adjusted, which makes positioning the post easier during installation.
