Whilst stainless steel is very durable and corrosion resistant, it is not self-cleaning and will require regular maintenance. Cleaning intervals will depend on location and the local environment. They may be from 4 times a year in rural, suburban or residential areas where the stainless steel is washed by rain, and up to weekly where is isnt washed by rain and is in industrial areas or close to the sea. We sell cleaning products and cloths in our range.

Our handrail tubes are 42.4 mm and 48.3 mm.

We supply lengths of 6 metres, 5.8 metres, 3 metres, 1.5M and 1M lengths.

This is known as 'Tea Staining' and mainly occurs within 5 kms of the sea or salt water. It becomes progressively worse the closer to the marine source. Howver, wind exposure, industrial pollution levels and higher temperatures can congregate environments where 'tea staining' might occur 20 kms from the sea. The staining does not affect the structural integrity or the longevity of the material and it can be controlled.

We now offer Pro-Railing Protect a brand new system with nanotechnology that protects the surface and stops the build up of pollutants and slows the 'tea staining' from occuring. Available as wipes or a standard kit suitable for both glass and railings. If there is already staining then we offer Pro-Railing Protect refresher kits or a 3 part cleaning kit which contains Stainless cleaner, purifed water and a stainless polish (189900902) If there is heavy discolouration then they will need to use a pickling gel (18990094023) to remove this and then treat with the 3 part kit to ensure ongoing protection.
