Stainless Steel Tubing – Round – 15.88mm x 5.8m

The 15.88mm round tube is a slender, elegant option used primarily for thin infill balusters and decorative accents within a balustrade system. Its fine profile adds a level of visual refinement to designs where a delicate, architectural finish is the goal.

Commonly used in multi-rail infill configurations alongside larger diameter tubes, this size allows designers and DIYers to create layered, detailed balustrade patterns. It is also a practical solution for tight-spacing requirements where the thinner profile maximises the number of infill runs without compromising the open feel of the design.

Which Grade Should I Choose?

Grade 304 is strong and reliable, suited to internal applications and external use in non-coastal, non-corrosive environments — ideal for inland areas such as Johannesburg, Pretoria, and most non-coastal suburbs.

Grade 316 (Marine Grade) offers superior corrosion resistance and is the essential choice for coastal properties, poolside installations, and any environment exposed to salt air, moisture, or chemicals. If you are in Cape Town, the Winelands, Durban, or any coastal area, Grade 316 is strongly recommended.
