Glass railing system with glass adaptors for a flat surface - 42.4

The Strofix glass railing system with glass adaptors 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 is made for flat-surface (level) mounting, with a 40 × 40 × 2 mm post standing H=1060 mm on a 108 × 108 mm base, and its top is configured for a round Ø42.4 mm tube handrail. 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 version for the round Ø42.4 mm tube handrail; a "Flat" version for the flat 40 × 40 handrail profile is also available, along with middle and corner posts for the rest of 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 topped with a Ø42.4 handrail
• Glass railings on balconies, terraces, and landings
• 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.

Where is an "end" post used?

At the start or finish of a straight railing run, holding the end of a single glass panel. Middle posts sit along the run and a corner post handles direction changes.

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 handrail does the "42.4" version take?

Its top is configured for a round Ø42.4 mm tube handrail. A "Flat" version for the flat 40 × 40 handrail profile is also available.

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.
