Handrail 40x40 placed on glass, Satin, 2500-5000mm

The Strofix handrail 40x40 placed on glass, Satin, 2500-5000mm is a stainless-steel applied handrail — the graspable top rail of a glass balustrade — that seats directly onto the top edge of a glass panel. It has a 40 × 40 mm square profile, fits glass 8–21.52 mm thick, and is available in lengths of 2500 mm or 5000 mm. Made from AISI 304 or AISI 316 stainless steel with a satin finish.

An applied handrail runs along the top edge of a glass balustrade panel to provide a secure, continuous handhold. Rather than being carried on posts, it is fixed directly to the glass via a channel — the rail slots over the glass top edge with a channel profile and clamping rubber, giving a clean, post-free glass balustrade. The 40 × 40 mm square profile is one of two applied-handrail systems in the range (the other being the Ø42.4 mm oval profile). The glass-thickness range of 8–21.52 mm covers single-glazed through heavy laminated safety glass, using the matching channel profile and clamping rubber for the panel thickness. Choose the length (2500 or 5000 mm) and the steel grade (AISI 304 or AISI 316) at order time.

Use cases:

• Graspable top rail for a frameless glass balustrade
• Post-free glass-top handrail on stairs, balconies, and landings
• 40 × 40 mm square-profile handrail on glass 8–21.52 mm thick
• Continuous handhold along the top edge of a glass panel
• Marine-grade AISI 316 glass-top handrail for coastal installations

FAQ

How does an applied handrail mount?

It fixes directly to the top edge of a glass panel via a channel, rather than being carried on posts — giving a clean, post-free glass balustrade.

What glass thickness does it suit?

Glass 8–21.52 mm thick, using the matching channel profile and clamping rubber for the panel thickness.

What lengths are available?

2500 mm or 5000 mm — selectable at order time.

Which steel grades are available?

AISI 304 or AISI 316. Choose AISI 316 for coastal, pool, or high-humidity installations.

What is the profile?

A 40 × 40 mm square profile. A Ø42.4 mm oval (D-shaped) applied handrail is also available.

What else do I need for a glass-top handrail?

About Handrails

A handrail is the graspable top rail of a balustrade system, running along the upper edge of railing posts or the top of a glass panel to provide a secure handhold. The handrail profile sits on handrail supports or is fixed directly to the glass via a channel bar, and fittings at each joint — elbows, end caps and axial connectors — allow the rail to follow corners, stair pitches and direction changes.

Strofix supplies handrails and handrail components in two profile systems: a 40×40 mm flat square profile and a Ø42.4 × 15 mm oval (D-shaped) profile for glass-top mounting, both in AISI 304 stainless steel with a satin finish.

The range includes applied handrail lengths (2500 mm), channel bars in AISI 304 and aluminium for glass-top fixing, clamping rubbers for glass thicknesses from 8 to 21.52 mm, end caps, axial fastenings, handrail fittings, horizontal and vertical 90° fittings, and flush adjustable elbows. The correct components depend on handrail profile, mounting method (post-top or glass-top) and the railing layout.
