Cable railing hardware refers to the components used to install and secure cable railings, which are safety and aesthetic barriers made of tensioned cables. These components include posts, cables, turnbuckles, end fittings, and fasteners, ensuring the railing is sturdy, safe, and visually appealing for decks, stairs, and balconies.
These cables are made from stainless steel and are available in various diameters; they are the core of the railing system and offer strength in addition to the modern appearance of the railing.
The cable is fixed to the post with end fittings. There are many types which include the swage fittings that are fitted with the help of a special tool while the swageless fittings can be fitted manually.
Tensioners are used to tighten the cables and make sure that they are at the correct tension and safe. Some examples of this type of fastener include turnbuckles and push-lock tensioners.
Posts are the members which are placed vertically in order to support the railing system. They are available in different types of material such as wood, metal or composite and there are two basic types of lighting fixtures: surface-mount and fascia-mount.
These posts offer extra support between two end posts and help avoid sagging of the cables and enhance safety.
Consists of screws, bolts and washers that are used to fix the posts as well as the fittings to the deck or the stairs.
The right cable railing hardware can make a big difference in your project's success. Pay attention to following factors for the successful completion of your project.
The type of material used affects the durability and the frequency at which the railing will require some repair or replacement. Stainless steel is the best material to use because of its ability to withstand corrosion especially the marine grade 316. For instance, a 1/8-inch stainless steel cable of 316 grade material can support a force of up to 1,780 pounds, which is suitable for outdoor use.
The thickness of the cable determines the load-bearing capacity of the railing and its overall appearance. Some of the standard diameters used are 0.125 inches, 0.1875 inches, and 0.25 inches. In the case of residential applications, 1/8 inch can be used as it is slim and thin, but strong enough to meet the necessary requirements. In commercial applications, a 3/16 inch or thicker cable may be more desired for its sturdiness.
The tensioning hardware helps to maintain the cables’ tension and prevent them from loosening over time. Swaged and turnbuckles and swageless fittings are some of the most used products. For example, using a turnbuckle that has a tension range of 10-20 inches is helpful in installation and prevents the cables from drooping in the future.
Select a hardware that blends well with the general layout of the area. Smooth and glossy finish of the fittings can add to the sleek and stylish look while rough and large knobs may complement a country or rough style house.
