Glass railing system for a flat surface - 42.4

The Strofix glass railing system for a flat surface - 42.4 is a complete end (ending) railing post supplied with 2 glass adaptors (point fixings) for holding the glass. It has a Ø42.4 mm round post tube standing H=1060 mm on a Ø105 mm base, and is made for flat-surface (level) mounting. Available in AISI 304 or AISI 316 grade with a satin finish.

This is the end configuration: the post stands at the start or finish of a straight railing run, carrying 2 glass adaptors to hold the end of a single glass panel and form a point-fixed glass balustrade. The "42.4" designation is the round Ø42.4 mm tube post; a "Flat" version with the 40 × 40 profile is also available, and middle and corner posts complete the run. AISI 304 suits interior and standard exterior installations; AISI 316 contains added molybdenum for higher resistance to chlorides and salt air, making it the choice for coastal and high-humidity environments. It is a finished post system from the Strofix For Glass railing range, for level surfaces rather than stairs.

Use cases:

• End post for a point-fixed glass balustrade on a flat surface
• Start or finish of a straight glass railing run
• Ø42.4 round-tube glass railing posts on balconies and terraces
• Level-ground glass railing runs, not stairs
• Coastal and poolside glass railings (AISI 316 recommended)

FAQ

What is included?

The system is an end (ending) railing post supplied with 2 glass adaptors (point fixings) for securing the glass.

Why does it have 2 glass adaptors instead of 4?

An end post supports one glass panel, so it uses 2 adaptors; middle and corner posts sit between two panels and use 4.

What are the post dimensions?

The post is a Ø42.4 mm round tube, H=1060 mm, on a Ø105 mm base.

What is the difference between the "42.4" and "Flat" versions?

"42.4" is the round Ø42.4 mm tube post; "Flat" uses the 40 × 40 profile. Choose to match your railing system.

What is the difference between AISI 304 and AISI 316?

AISI 316 contains added molybdenum for higher resistance to chlorides and salt air. Choose AISI 316 for coastal, pool, and high-humidity installations; AISI 304 is sufficient for interiors and standard outdoor conditions.

About Glass Railing Posts

A glass railing post is a stainless-steel vertical upright designed to hold glass panels as the infill of a balustrade, creating a transparent barrier on balconies, terraces, mezzanines and staircases. The glass is secured to the post either by integrated glass adaptors (through-bolt point fixings drilled into the glass) or by glass clamps, and a handrail sits on top to complete the system.

Strofix supplies glass railing post systems in flat (40×40 mm) and round (Ø42.4 mm) post profiles, for flat-surface and stair installations, all in AISI 304 or AISI 316 stainless steel with a satin finish.

Multiple system variants are available within each profile and surface combination, differing in glass-adaptor arrangement and the number of fixing points per post. The correct system depends on post profile, installation surface, glass fixing method and the panel size and weight to be supported.
