Common questions about pre-fabricated posts

What does pre-fabricated mean?

Pre-fabricated posts arrive fully assembled and ready to install — no cutting, no drilling, no on-site adjustments needed. The posts are manufactured with precision to your specification, so what arrives on site fits correctly first time. Base plates or wall brackets are matched and included. End caps are fitted. Everything is done before the posts leave our facility.

Our pre-fabricated balustrade systems are available to suit glass, horizontal wire and vertical wire. You will receive everything you need for a complete system, including posts, handrail and infill. 

Because the posts are manufactured with precision in a controlled environment — not drilled or cut on a construction site — there are no measurement errors. Every post in the set is consistent, and the documentation supplied with the order confirms exactly what goes where.

Both. Pre-fabricated posts are popular with contractors who install themselves — supply-only is the most common arrangement. 

Yes. Posts are available pre-specified for wire infill systems or for glass adapter fixings. Confirm your infill type at order stage — the fabrication specification is matched to your infill system.
