Common questions about horizontal wire modular system

Is horizontal wire right for my project?

Horizontal Wire Modular is ideal for many terraces, balconies and staircases where a clean, contemporary appearance is required. Vertical wire systems are often recommended to prevent climbing. Self-Assembly kits are ideal for timber post installations. If you’re unsure which system is best for your project, send us your drawings or a sketch and our team will be happy to help.

Our Horizontal Wire Modular system is available in high-quality AISI316-grade stainless steel, making it suitable for most coastal and marine environments. Regular cleaning is recommended in exposed locations to maintain the finish.

Horizontal wire modular is often a more cost-effective alternative to glass balustrade while still providing a modern, open appearance. It also requires fewer specialist components, making installation quicker on many projects. The difference is often in the region of 10-30% cheaper.
