FAQs

1. What is the weight capacity of a stainless steel standoff for glass?

A high-quality stainless steel standoff can typically support concentrated loads of up to 200 pounds and distributed loads of 50 pounds per linear foot. However, the total capacity depends heavily on the mounting substrate, such as concrete or solid wood, and the glass thickness. Proper anchoring is essential to ensure the safety and longevity of the glass railing system.

2. What is the difference between 304 and 316 stainless steel standoffs?

While both grades offer durability, the primary difference lies in their chemical composition. Grade 304 is ideal for indoor applications and standard outdoor environments. In contrast, grade 316 contains molybdenum, providing superior resistance to chlorides and salt. This makes 316 the preferred choice for coastal areas or humid environments where corrosion and pitting are more significant risks.

3. How do you install a black glass clamp standoff?

Installing a black glass clamp standoff requires precision. You must drill a pilot hole into a solid structure like wood or concrete, then secure the standoff base using a threaded rod or lag bolt. Once aligned, place the glass panel with pre-drilled holes over the bushings. Finally, tighten the cap assembly to lock the glass securely in place.
