Paul Smith, Head of Marketing at F.H. Brundle, explains the many benefits of Fortitude railings.<\/em><\/p>\n

For you, and your customers, they\u2019re the best of both worlds \u2013 railings that are off-the-shelf, but nevertheless provide enough versatility for customisation to suit most projects or properties.<\/p>\n

In the 2020s, that versatility is more important than ever. Consumer attitudes have shifted significantly over the last two decades.<\/p>\n

Once, people generally approached garden makeovers from a very practical perspective. Product choice was extremely limited, and buying decisions were mostly made on cost and what did the job.<\/p>\n

Then, driven by the wave of aspirational garden-focused TV that appeared from the late 1990s, there was a surge of interest in products with outstanding aesthetics, and the ability to be tailored to a homeowner\u2019s tastes, character and overall vision for their garden.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/strong><\/p>\n

Cost and complexity<\/strong><\/p>\n

However, both for tradespeople and end-users themselves, this wasn\u2019t without its issues.<\/p>\n

For homeowners, the kind of bespoke, hand-crafted products that the popular makeover shows often showcased could be extremely expensive, hard to source and time-consuming to install.<\/p>\n

Thankfully, there\u2019s a very neat solution to all these issues \u2013 products that deliver great flexibility and those sought-after aesthetics, but are ready-made, installer-friendly, and extremely quick and easy to fit.<\/p>\n

Strong, versatile and user-friendly<\/strong><\/p>\n

That\u2019s exactly what F.H. Brundle\u2019s Fortitude railing<\/a> system has been designed to provide.<\/p>\n

Fortitude railings are among the most versatile and user-friendly products of their type available today.<\/p>\n

The range consists of a series of ready-to-install railing panels, glass panels, posts and brackets that can produce different design solutions.<\/p>\n

Pre-drilled posts are available in sizes of 50 and 70mm, made of pre-galvanised steel, and sprayed with both a protective zinc phosphate coating and an Akzo Nobel UV-resistant powder coating.<\/p>\n

They come in a contemporary black sand finish and in a variety of different fixing types – bolt-down, concrete-in or side-fix.<\/p>\n

Classic aesthetics<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Fortitude Traditional\u2122 range offers an attractive, easy to install and innovative pre-welded panel in two styles and a simple bracket fixing system.<\/p>\n

Thanks to highly innovative steel raking panels, the railings can be easily fitted to stairs and slopes without the need to pre-fabricate, and the panels conceal the pivot point of each spindle.<\/p>\n

Panels can be cut to size on-site or a make-up panel is available, which can be used as a cost-effective alternative or to make a gate using the railing gate kit.<\/p>\n

Not only capable of significantly reducing time on site, but its extensive range of components also allows for huge flexibility and scope for customisation, no matter how large or small the project at hand.<\/p>\n

Virtually maintenance-free, they\u2019re equally well suited for residential or commercial applications.<\/p>\n

Style and sophistication<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"Our Fortitude Contemplation glass railings without handrails are a stylish and sophisticated product, designed to maximise the view. It consists of pre-drilled posts, glass clamps and 10mm standard glass panels, and when fitted on a flat surface gives an 1100mm high handrail.<\/p>\n

The 10mm thick standard glass panels are available from stock, in 100mm increments up to 1100mm width, to make your installations quicker, easier and more cost-effective.<\/p>\n

Finally, we have our Fortitude Contemporary glass railings range, with a choice of glass panels or glass slats. With their simple slide technology, they are quick and easy to install and both systems are supplied in kit form, with an aluminium top and bottom rail that cleverly integrates the glass into the design.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Both kits are available in black gloss RAL 9005 and black sand and there is a choice of clear or grey tinted glass with the slats system.<\/p>\n

For ease and simplicity, all our brackets are supplied with suitable fixings for use on steel or wooden posts. The system can also be fixed to fascia\u2019s using our side fix posts and fascia brackets.<\/p>\n

Established in 1889 by Frederick Henry Brundle, the company was founded on careful product selection, keen prices, and excellent service \u2014 values that remain central to the business today. Now in its fifth generation of family ownership under Michael Brundle, F.H.Brundle is the UK's largest stockist of wrought iron components, welded wire mesh, and expanded and perforated metal, all available from stock for immediate delivery. The product range extends well beyond this, covering steel sections, stainless steel handrail and balustrade components, tube clamps and galvanised tube, industrial steel flooring, GRP and tactile flooring, gate hardware, CAME gate automation, sliding door gear, fencing and perimeter security, fixings and fastenings, and welding consumables. The company stocks over 11,000 products at any one time, maintaining 98%+ availability across its network of branches and national distribution centre, and distributes over 25,000 tonnes of product to more than 100,000 customers each year, with worldwide shipping available. F.H.Brundle operates branches in Rainham, Ilkeston, Southampton, Newton-le-Willows, Birmingham, Glasgow, and Newport, supported by a Midlands distribution hub and a fleet of over 70 vehicles, including 44-tonne articulated lorries that operate overnight to feed the branches, alongside smaller transit vans for deliveries to customers with restricted access. In-house design teams develop innovative own-brand products under names including Pro-Railing\u00ae, Fortitude\u2122, Rinato\u2122, Marano\u00ae, Liveconfigurator\u2122, and Warmagrip\u2122, addressing real fabrication and installation challenges for the trade.
