Yes, stainless steel balustrades are often used in public spaces, but the complete system must be designed for the loads and conditions of its intended location. Being made of stainless steel does not automatically make a balustrade suitable for every setting. Typical applications include stairwells, entrances, offices, shops, restaurants and access balconies.
Where large numbers of people gather, loading requirements may be higher than in a home. Posts, fixings, infill and the supporting structure therefore need to be designed as a complete system. For outdoor installations, choose a steel grade suited to the environment. For larger projects, establish the requirements before ordering.
