Cover (ø 42,4)

The Strofix cover (Ø42.4) 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. Available in three plate diameters — Ø85, Ø95, or Ø105 mm — with satin or polished finish. All variants have a 1 mm wall thickness.

The plate diameter determines the height and available finish options. The Ø85 mm plate has an 18 mm height and is available in satin or polished finish. The Ø95 mm plate has a 20 mm height and is available in satin or polished finish. The Ø105 mm plate is available in two heights: 18 mm (satin or polish) and 20 mm (polish only). 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. AISI 304 stainless steel is suitable for standard interior and exterior installations.

The satin finish matches other Strofix satin-finished railing components. The polished finish provides a mirror-like appearance for high-gloss installations.

Use cases:

• Floor-mount concealment on staircase balustrade round posts
• Decorative base plates for railing systems using the Strofix Ø42.4 mm pipe
• Commercial and residential railing post base covers

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 in Strofix railing systems.

What plate diameters are available?

Three plate diameters are available: Ø85, Ø95, and Ø105 mm. Select the diameter that provides the desired base coverage. Larger plates conceal more of the floor area around the post base.

What are the dimensions and finish options for each plate size?

The Ø85 mm plate: H = 18 mm, satin or polish. The Ø95 mm plate: H = 20 mm, satin or polish. The Ø105 mm plate: H = 18 mm in satin or polish, and H = 20 mm in polish only. All plates have a 1 mm wall thickness.

Is satin finish available for all sizes?

Satin finish is available for Ø85 mm (H = 18), Ø95 mm (H = 20), and Ø105 mm (H = 18). The Ø105 mm H = 20 mm variant is available in polish only.

How does this differ from the separate polished Ø95 cover (cover-3)?

The separate polished Ø95 mm cover (SKU NV429519P) has a 0.5 mm wall thickness and 19 mm height. This product's Ø95 mm variant has a 1 mm wall thickness and 20 mm height, making it a sturdier plate. Both fit the same Ø42.4 mm pipe.

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.

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.
