How Do I Maintain My Stainless Steel Balustrades?

Stainless steel is commonly used in commercial and residential buildings due to its high quality, immaculate and long-lasting appearance. However, it is important to clean and maintain the stainless steel balustrades in your Melbourne home or office regularly, as this will ensure it has a longer life cycle.

High Quality Stainless Steel Grades

There are many grades of stainless steel. At Balustrade 1, our team uses Grade 316 for all our stainless steel balustrades, which has a higher level of corrosion resistance. Often referred to as ‘Marine Grade’, Grade 316 is typically used in architectural components where the steel is exposed to extreme weather and climatic conditions. Therefore, our balustrades are the most suitable for outdoor use, especially in Mornington Peninsula, Brighton, Sorrento Portsea, Mount Martha & Mount Eliza weather conditions.

What Is Stainless Steel Tea Staining?

Stainless steel can suffer from brown discolouration or “tea staining” over time. Fortunately, this is a visual impairment only and does not affect the structural integrity or the longevity of the material. The staining occurs most commonly in houses and buildings that are approximately 5 kilometres from the sea, however factors such as wind exposure, pollution and higher temperatures can also contribute to tea staining.

How To Deal With Tea Staining

While it is not maintenance free, stainless steel balustrades are maintenance friendly. Melbourne locals who have stainless steel fences outdoors should be cleaning it periodically, especially in corrosive areas like swimming pools or coastal areas. Rain washing regularly will also reduce the risk of “tea staining”. The best way to maintain your product is to wash with soap or mild detergent and warm water followed by rinsing with cold water. The appearance can be improved further when wiped dry. Auto sol metal polish can also be used to offer a professional finish.
