Ready-to-install wire tension kits in AISI 316 stainless steel, suitable for internal and external use across a wide range of applications and environments. Each kit contains everything needed to tension one wire run. All you need is a pair of wire rope cutters and a spanner. Available in multiple lengths and in 4mm and 6mm wire diameters, order by run length, one kit per wire.
Each kit contains the following components, pre-matched and ready to install. One kit tensions one wire run — order one kit per wire in your balustrade.
AISI316 stainless wire rope in your chosen length and diameter (4mm or 6mm). Corrosion resistant, suitable for internal and external use.
1× pre-swaged rigging screw included per kit — pre-finished end fitting ready to tension.
1× self-fit fork for the opposite wire end. Fits without specialist tooling.
2× metric thread eyebolts with nuts for fixing into metal or masonry substrates.
2× wood thread eyebolts for fixing directly into timber posts or structures.
An interactive tool to design your surface-mounted wire system — choose wire orientation, run length, terminal style and top rail, with a fully costed PDF quote to send to your installer or builder.
Used by self-builders, architects and main contractors who want to firm up the spec before talking to our team.
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 Self-Assembly Wire 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.

One of SWR’s most ambitious installations to date.
Each kit contains AISI316 stainless wire rope in your chosen length, 1× pre-swaged rigging screw, 1× self-fit fork, 2× metric thread eyebolts with nuts, and 2× wood thread eyebolts.
A pair of wire rope cutters and a spanner — 10mm for 4mm kits, 17mm for 6mm kits. No specialist tools, no welding equipment, no fabricator required. The kits are supplied ready to install.
Kits are available in multiple lengths to suit different run distances. Available in 3M, 5M, 10M and 15M and can be adjusted to suit the distance between your posts. If you’re unsure which length to order, use the configurator or call the team and we’ll advise.
Wire diameter. 4mm wire is the standard specification for most residential balustrade applications. 6mm wire provides additional stiffness and is suited to longer runs or applications where a more substantial wire appearance is preferred. Both use AISI316 stainless components and the same installation method.
The SWR team is available to support self-assembly customers throughout the installation process. Call or email with your kit reference and we’ll talk you through any issues. For commercial projects in the South East, on-site support can also be arranged if needed — speak to the team for availability.
Tell us your run length, wire diameter and fixing substrate and we’ll confirm the right kit and quantity.
