Door hardware
Stainless steel handrail and glass fittings: shower hinges, patch fittings, spider fittings, tube connectors, posts and flanges in 304 and 316, quoted from the catalogue on enquiry in Saudi Arabia.
Nothing is published in this family yet.
The fittings range covers the stainless steel hardware that holds glass and tube together: hinges and clamps for frameless showers, patch and spider fittings for glass doors and façades, and the connectors, posts and flanges that turn a run of tube into a handrail or balustrade.
The parts are cast or machined in 304 and 316 stainless steel and finished to match the tube they mount on, so a balustrade reads as one metal from post to cap.
What the fittings range covers
- Glass fittings: shower hinges, wall-to-glass and glass-to-glass clamps, patch fittings, spider fittings and glass-door pull handles.
- Handrail fittings: tube connectors, elbows, end caps, glass clamps, saddles and adjustable joints.
- Posts and flanges: round and square balustrade posts, base flanges and cover plates.
- Tube in matching grades and finishes, cut on the tube laser to length or with notched ends for welded joints.
Grade and finish
Interior showers, staircases and shopfronts are supplied in 304. Balconies, pool surrounds and anything facing the sea are supplied in 316, whose molybdenum content resists the pitting that salt and chlorine start on 304. The two grades look identical when new; the note on 304 against 316 explains why they diverge after a year outside.
Satin is the default finish and the most forgiving of fingerprints. Mirror is available across the range for hotel and retail work, and brushed fittings are matched to brushed tube. Fittings and tube can be polished together so the grain direction agrees at every joint.
Matching fittings to glass and tube
Every fitting is made for one glass thickness or one tube diameter. Clamps and hinges are ordered by the glass they grip, connectors and end caps by the outside diameter and wall of the tube, and spider fittings by the number of arms and the glass hole pattern.
What a good enquiry contains
- Glass thickness, or tube diameter and wall, for every fitting type.
- Grade, or the location so the grade can be recommended.
- Finish, and whether it must match existing tube on site.
- Quantities per item, or a sketch of the run.
Fittings are quoted from the catalogue on enquiry. Send the list through the quotation form with any photographs of the existing installation.
Common questions
Do you supply fittings for frameless shower enclosures?
Yes. Wall-to-glass and glass-to-glass hinges, fixed-panel clamps, header bars, knobs and towel bars are supplied as a matching set in 304 stainless steel, sized to the glass thickness.
Which grade should a balcony balustrade in a coastal city use?
316, for the fittings and the tube alike. A balustrade a street back from the Corniche sees salt spray on every breeze, and 304 posts show brown tea staining at the flange within a season.
Can the fittings be PVD coloured to match a gold or black door?
Yes. Fittings and tube can be PVD coated together in gold, bronze, black or rose tones so the colour matches from handle to post. Order the whole set in one batch, because PVD colour varies slightly between runs.
Can I order a single replacement fitting?
Yes. Send a photograph of the existing fitting with the glass thickness or tube diameter and the finish. Discontinued patterns are answered with the nearest current equivalent and the differences pointed out.
