There are three components for Cable Railing Systems:
Turnbuckle
For architectural railing purposes, the wire needs to be tensioned mechanically. The most common way to do this is with a turnbuckle. Generally, a conventional turnbuckle can tension the cable up to 50’ in a straight run and meet code.
Attachment Point at each end with End Fitting
Posts are necessary to attach the turnbuckles. Posts come in a variety of materials. It is best to discuss your project with one of our Sales Specialists to determine the best solution and correct number of assemblies needed to complete your cable railing project.
Wire Rope
For all major components we use Type 316 stainless steel. Type 316 is low-carbon “18-8” chromium-nickel stainless steel modified by the addition of molybdenum, which greatly increases its corrosion resistance.
When your assemblies have been selected, a Cable Fabricator is necessary to put your assemblies together. We have 50 years experience in fabrication and welcome the opportunity to work with you on your railing project.
NOTE: We do not make wood railings but will provide the dimensions/specifications for them with the assemblies.
