Cover

The Strofix cover is an AISI 304 stainless-steel decorative base plate designed to conceal floor-mounting hardware at the base of Ø42.4 mm round railing pipes. The round cover plate has a Ø95 mm diameter, 19 mm height, and 0.5 mm wall thickness. Supplied in polished finish.

The cover slides over the Ø42.4 mm pipe and sits flat on the floor surface, hiding the anchors, bolts, and rough floor penetration beneath. The Ø95 mm plate provides sufficient coverage to conceal standard base mounting hardware while maintaining a compact footprint around the round post. The 0.5 mm wall thickness and 19 mm height create a lightweight, low-profile finishing element. This SKU is a single fixed configuration — there are no selectable finish, grade, or diameter options. AISI 304 stainless steel is suitable for standard interior and exterior installations.

The polished finish provides a mirror-like appearance, suited to installations where a high-gloss look is required. For satin-finished round covers for Ø42.4 mm pipe, see the other Strofix cover products in the Covers category.

FAQ:

What pipe diameter does this cover fit?

The cover fits Ø42.4 mm round pipes and tubes. This is the standard railing tube diameter used in Strofix railing systems. The cover is not suitable for square posts — see the square cover variants in the Strofix Covers range.

What is the cover plate diameter?

The cover plate has a Ø95 mm diameter (D) with a 19 mm height (H) and 0.5 mm wall thickness (t).

Why is the wall thickness only 0.5 mm?

The cover is a lightweight decorative finishing plate, not a structural component. The 0.5 mm thickness is sufficient to conceal the mounting hardware beneath while keeping the cover thin, lightweight, and easy to fit over the pipe.

Is a satin finish available on this SKU?

No. This SKU is supplied in polished finish only. For satin-finished round covers for Ø42.4 mm pipe, or for covers with selectable plate sizes and finishes, see the other Strofix cover products for Ø42.4 mm tubes in the Covers category.

What steel grade is used?

The cover is manufactured from AISI 304 stainless steel. For AISI 316 round covers for Ø42.4 mm pipe, see the separate AISI 316 cover product in the Strofix Covers range.

Is the cover purely decorative?

Yes. The cover is a cosmetic finishing component that conceals the mounting hardware at the post base. It does not provide structural support. The railing post is secured independently through its own base anchoring system.

About Covers

A cover is a stainless-steel decorative plate that fits around the base of a railing post where it meets the floor, deck or fascia, concealing the anchor bolt, base plate and raw fixing beneath a clean, finished disc or square.

It slides over the post tube before or after installation and sits flat against the mounting surface, giving the post base a professional appearance.

Strofix supplies base covers in seven variants — round covers in Ø85, Ø95 and Ø105 mm diameters for Ø42.4 and Ø48.3 mm round pipe posts, and square covers in 85×85, 90×90, 105×105 and 108×108 mm for flat-sided posts — in AISI 304 or AISI 316 stainless steel with satin or polished finishes and heights of 18 or 20 mm.

The correct cover depends on post shape and diameter, the desired cover size and the required steel grade.
