A great way to add a modern touch to indoor or outdoor locations, without core-drilling into your floor. These wire systems fix directly to the surface using easy-to-fit terminals suited to a range of substrates, from interior wooden staircases to concrete. Marine-grade stainless steel throughout. Hard-wearing, low maintenance and built to last.
A typical surface-mounted wire set includes the following components, priced and documented for installation. We don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all approach. Send us your design specifications and we’ll recommend the best components to create the installation you want.
4mm AISI316-grade marine stainless wire, supplied pre-cut to suit your stair-to-ceiling height.
Easy-to-fit terminals suitable for timber, masonry and concrete surfaces.
Tensioned top and bottom, adjustable after installation.
No two surface-mounted systems are the same. We are here to help you with your project.

Each of the systems below is a complete product on its own — designed for a specific application, with its own spec, install method and price band. Pick the one that fits your project.
4mm · 100mm centres · post-mounted
Parallel stainless wires running between round stainless posts. The classic specification is used on the majority of staircase and terrace projects. Number of wires to suit your project or specification.
4MM · 100MM CENTRES · TOP & BOTTOM RAIL
Vertical stainless wire infill between top and bottom rails. A clean, contemporary alternative to horizontal wire, suited to projects where a vertical line is preferred.
4mm · side-fixed · stair stringers
Stainless wire fixed directly to the wall or stair stringer, with no posts in front of the run. Slimmest visual profile of the four systems and a great retrofit option.
4mm · diy-friendly · Made to Measure
Easy to cut to length, pre-tensioned stainless wire kits for self-builders fitting their own balustrade. Includes wire, tensioners, posts and full installation guide. Quick despatch.
Our Wire Surface-Mounted system is manufactured from premium stainless steel and designed for strength, durability and long-term performance. Every component is produced to the same high standards as the rest of our balustrade range, ensuring a consistent, high-quality finish across every project.
