För ett vajerräcke rekommenderas ofta en rund överliggare, antingen i rostfritt stål för en genomgående maritim look, eller i trä för att mjuka upp det industriella uttrycket. Den runda formen harmonierar väl med vajerns mjuka linjer och ger ett bekvämt grepp.
Ett rostfritt räcke är tillverkat av en homogen legering som är korrosionsbeständig rakt igenom. Ett galvaniserat räcke består av vanligt kolstål som har fått ett tunt yttre skyddslager av zink. Om zinklagret repas på ett galvaniserat räcke börjar det underliggande stålet att rosta direkt, medan det rostfria stålet behåller sitt skydd även vid repor.
Ja. Glas ger utsikt och vindskydd, medan trähandtag ger en varm kontrast. Kombinationer är vanliga både inomhus och utomhus.
Ja, namnet till trots kan rostfritt stål få så kallad ”flygrost”. Detta är yttre järnpartiklar som fastnar på ytan och korroderar. Genom att välja rätt stålkvalitet (syrafast) och genomföra ett enkelt underhåll ett par gånger om året håller du räcket fritt från missfärgningar.
When designing your wire railing, you can usually choose between 4, 5, or 6 rows of wires. The choice depends on both aesthetics and how dense you want the railing to appear.
According to the Swedish National Board of Housing, Building, and Planning’s building codes, it is important to remember that horizontal wires can be climbed. For this reason, we often recommend using a greater number of wires (spaced more closely together) to achieve a more symmetrical and substantial appearance, especially on a patio where you want to clearly mark the boundary without obstructing the view.
Safety and durability are paramount, which is why all our cables are made of acid-resistant stainless steel (AISI 316). This is a top-grade steel that contains molybdenum, enabling it to withstand salt spray and harsh weather conditions without corroding.
It is the same grade of stainless steel used in marine environments, which ensures that your stainless steel railing will retain its strength and luster year after year.
Ja, absolut! Hela vår affärsidé bygger på att det ska vara enkelt att montera själv. Vi levererar ditt räcke måttanpassat och förberett så långt det går från fabrik. Du får med tydliga monteringsanvisningar och har tillgång till instruktionsfilmer. De flesta av våra kunder väljer att bygga räcke på egen hand, vilket sparar pengar på hantverkare.
Det krävs inga specialverktyg utöver vad som normalt finns i en verktygslåda, som skruvdragare, vattenpass och måttband.
For outdoor railings, acid-resistant stainless steel (AISI 316L) is recommended. It provides long-lasting protection against the elements compared to AISI 304, which is best suited for indoor use.
Att välja infästning gör stor skillnad i intrycket. Det finns två olika monteringsmetoder att välja mellan när du beställer ett Tenso-räcke:
Tenso är ett vajerräcke i rostfritt stål som kan anpassas med val för överliggare, infästning och mått – så att det passar din miljö och dina önskemål. Du ser direkt i konfiguratorn hur dina val påverkar räckets utseende och pris.

This information provides a clear picture of how the railing is constructed and helps you plan, compare, and install the right solution for your project.
Load-tested posts
The posts have been tested when mounted on top of a wooden base and can withstand a load of 0.5–1.0 kN/m.
Round Profiles, Ø 42 mm
Round stainless steel posts with a diameter of 42 mm. For indoor use: AISI 304; for outdoor use: AISI 316.
AISI 304/316 Stainless Steel
If your cable railing is installed indoors, the posts are made of a stainless steel grade known as AISI 304. If, on the other hand, it is to be installed outdoors, AISI 316 is used instead, which is acid-resistant stainless steel.
Wire, 4 mm diameter
The wires are made of stainless steel with a diameter of 4 mm and are made of acid-resistant AISI 316.
Sheet thickness: 2 mm
Stainless Steel Crossbars
Round stainless steel crossbars (Ø 42 mm). AISI 304 for indoor use and AISI 316 for outdoor use. Fittings are included for any corners.
Wooden Crossbar
Round crossbar (Ø 43 mm) in untreated light oak or jatoba (a hardwood with properties and an appearance similar to teak).
Angles
If there are any corners on the railing, you can bend the wooden crossbar yourself. This ensures a precise fit. Corner fittings are included for stainless steel crossbars at angles greater than 90 degrees.
Symmetrical Sections
When you enter your measurements in our configurator, you always enter the edge measurements at the location where you want the railing installed. Our configurator then makes the necessary adjustments. We then customize the section dimensions for your railing so that each section on each side is the same length. In other words, we adapt the railing to your measurements—not the other way around.
Selectable railing height
In the configurator, you can select the height of your railing, ranging from 800 to 1100 mm, measured from the floor to the top of the railing. According to Boverket standards, railings must be 1100 mm high in areas where the risk of a fall exceeds 3 meters.
—Customized to the Millimeter
When you provide your measurements, we ask that you be precise to the millimeter. We craft your railing to the millimeter so that it fits perfectly in the spot where you want to install it.
Mounting on top of
The base is secured to the floor with 4 screws.
Top rail with or without wall mounting
If the railing is mounted on a wall, you can also choose to mount the top rail to the wall. This can result in a slightly more stable structure.
Wood Screw
If you choose to mount the product on a wooden surface, screws for this purpose are included. The screw is made of hardened steel and, for outdoor use, is also surface-treated with Corrseal—Corrosivity Class C4. The screw features a milled groove along the shank and one at the tip. This results in a very low screw-in torque in harder wood and minimizes cracking.
Screw for Concrete Mounting
If you choose to mount the product on a concrete surface, screws for this purpose are included. The screw is made of hardened steel and, for outdoor use, is also surface-treated with Corrseal—Corrosivity Class C4. Approved for use with cracked concrete, uncracked concrete, and hollow-core slabs.
Also suitable for solid brick, hollow brick, solid Mexi brick, and natural stone. When fastening to materials other than wood or concrete, we recommend contacting your local hardware store.
Complete Construction Kit
Our shipment includes everything you need for assembly. In addition to posts, rails, and crossbars, it also includes all screws, drill bits, and any special tools required. If you have a screwdriver, a wrench, a folding rule, and a level, you really don’t need anything else.
Assembly Videos and Instructions
The videos show various steps to help you with your assembly. Our assembly tips and videos are customized for each order. In other words, these are not general descriptions but are tailored specifically to your order.
Stainless Steel Components
Since stainless steel, despite its name, is not resistant to corrosion, all stainless steel components need to be maintained and cleaned 1–3 times a year. If the railing is installed in a coastal environment, cleaning and treatment may need to be performed more frequently. Clean the surfaces with lukewarm water and a mild detergent using a soft cloth.
Wooden Handrail Crossbar
If the railing is to be installed outdoors, we recommend cleaning the crossbar and then sanding it with fine-grit sandpaper. Treat the crossbar with a wood preservative, such as wood oil or a similar product, depending on the prevailing conditions. For indoor installation, only cleaning and light sanding are required. Treatment with wood oil or a similar product can be applied if desired. All oak contains tannic acid in varying amounts, depending on the wood’s moisture content. This is because tannic acid helps prevent the wood from rotting. When your oak crossbar or handrail is exposed to moisture for the first time in an outdoor environment, tannic acid is released, which can cause discoloration on the surface it rests on. Therefore, we recommend oiling the wood or, alternatively, applying oxalic acid during installation to minimize the release of the acid. Oxalic acid can also be used to clean discoloration from the surface. Consult your paint supplier before using oxalic acid. To keep the wood looking its best, we also recommend oiling it once a year.

Selectable railing height
The stair railing is the same height as the rest of the railing.
, Customized to the Millimeter
When you provide the measurements for your staircase, we ask that you do so to the millimeter. We craft your railing to the millimeter so that it fits perfectly in the spot where you want to install it.
When you’re assembling your railing, the usage class (A+, A, B, or C) provides an indication of where the railing is suitable for use. The classes are based on current building codes and our own product tests, and take into account the choices you’ve made regarding railing height, section width, details, and so on. You can think of the class as a recommendation to help you make the right choice!
Class A+
An A+-rated railing meets the Swedish National Board of Housing, Building and Planning’s requirements for railings where the fall height exceeds 3 meters from floor level to ground level, and is therefore suitable for use in all types of residential environments as well as public spaces such as offices, restaurants, and stores. Our A+-rated railings can withstand a minimum linear load of 1 kN/m, and where the railing includes glass, it is safety glass designed to prevent injury in the event of an impact.
Class A
A Class A railing meets the Swedish National Board of Housing, Building and Planning’s requirements for railings where the fall height exceeds 3 meters from floor level to ground level, and is therefore suitable for use in all types of residential environments. Our Class A railings can withstand a minimum linear load of 0.5 kN/m, and where the railing includes glass, it is safety glass designed to prevent injury in the event of an impact.
Class B
Class B railings are suitable for use in environments where the height difference between the floor and the ground is 0.5–3 meters. Our Class B railings can withstand a minimum linear load of 0.5 kN/m, and when the railing includes glass, it is safety glass designed to prevent personal injury in the event of an impact.
Class C
Class C railings are suitable for use at ground level. If the railing includes glass, it is safety glass designed to prevent injury in the event of an impact. A railing may be classified as Class C if Balustrade Store , in consultation with you as the customer, makes a modification to the railing that deviates from our standard design. A Class C classification indicates that this specific configuration has not been tested.
