Stainless steel – strong, sleek, but not maintenance-free
Stainless steel is highly resistant to corrosion, but not immune – especially in coastal or damp environments. Regular maintenance will help preserve the appearance and prevent surface rust.
- Clean with water and mild detergent
- Wipe down any salt or grime, particularly if near the sea
- Follow our care guide for stainless steel railings
Looking for something with minimal upkeep? Consider Alu Modern or Alu Classic as maintenance-free alternatives.

Both St Flow and St Breeze are CE marked under EN 1090-1:2009 + A1:2011, certifying structural integrity and production quality. Our manufacturing process is externally audited and includes internal impact testing to ensure long-term safety and compliance.
