Mild Steel in Ermelo

What do you know about mild steel? If you are thinking that mild steel is only used in major industries then we might proof you wrong. Mild steel is basically found everywhere – road signs, cars, domestic goods, construction steel, it’s pretty much everywhere.

What is Mild Steel?

Mild Steel, also known as carbon steel, is one of the most common forms of steel because not only is it inexpensive but it can be used almost everywhere. It is made up of approximately 0.05-0.20% carbon making it flexible and adaptable. Although mild steel is not as durable as stainless steel it makes a great metal to use for custom projects here at Steel Image Ermelo.

With heat treating it can push up the carbon percentage which gives steel the ability to become harder and stronger but less ductile. It also reduces the weldability thus making mild steel difficult for welding.

Steel Image Ermelo only uses quality carbon steel and each product that we produce is a 100% Steel Image high quality.

Uses of mild steel

There are plenty of uses for mild steel or carbon steel. Pipes and tubes, mild steel rods, building construction, ships, machinery and many more other products can be manufactured using carbon steel. Mild steel can be welded, drilled, sawed, punch bolted (pop riveted) and machined making it an easy alloy to work with when creating custom projects.

Custom projects

Mild steel products in Ermelo are not a new trend but with Steel Image it is possible to finally get a custom mild steel product. We use mild steel as per our client’s requests for custom projects like wheel barrows, braai grids, balustrades, staircases and other unique design ideas.

By using powered coating or by using a primer on mild steel, the steel will become stronger and more resistant to the weather elements. Here is an idea of a custom project we did in the form of a wheel barrow:

Another custom project were these magazine stands made from mild steel that has been power coated:

Glass staircases and balustrades Ermelo

Staircases no longer come in just one design and they are no longer created using only one type of material. Although a classic wooden designed staircase and balustrade bring a vintage feel to any room, there are many other products that can bring the ‘wow’ factor.

Glass and steel balustrades for Ermelo homes and offices is not only a reality but a possibility with Steel Image. Now if you still wondering whata balustrade is or how glass and steel can work together to build a safe staircasethen this article is just for you.

Defining a balustrade

A balustrade is a molded shaft that can be made of many things – wood, concrete, steel, stone or glass. It offers support as a handrail for a staircase or a ramp. It is part of almost any stair structure you will find in your daily life. Balustrades are even used for fences around the swimming pool which promotes pool safety. Patios, buildings, office blocks – if you see a handrail it is a balustrade.

Steel Image Ermelo are masters in designing, manufacturing and installing balustrades. Handrails for a ramps, staircases and much more are also designed by Steel Image Ermelo.

Glass staircase safety

Safety glass are used for both glass staircases and balustrades in Ermelo. It can be 6mm, 8mm or 12mm depending on the design of the staircase. The possibility of safety glass breaking is unlikely as it’s a lot stronger than your average drinking glass or window.

Glass balustrades are secured with a stainless steel mount on the floor of the stair and of the balustrade. For the most part stainless steel is used by Steel Image designs not because we limited to its use but because it works so beautiful together with other materials. These moldings secure the balustrade safely and securely, giving you peace of mind. Steel Image is not just about designing and installing glass staircases, we also take into consideration the design of your whole house to make sure that the staircase will fit in.

Glass staircases are used in design areas that are big as they give a light, a striking look and an open feeling. The floating staircases are a beautiful design to use as it creates the illusion that the staircase is ‘hanging in the air’. This feeling is made possible thanks to the stringers that are hidden or are bolted into the wall.

What about frameless glass balustrades?

If pool safety is a concern but you want to move away from fences that can rust and not handle South Africa’s ever changing weather, then the frameless glass balustrade is an option. Safety glass can be cleaned once a month with some water and mild soap (if necessary) and glass and stainless steel can handle harmful UV rays and freezing temperatures of winter. This type of balustrade will help to keep children and pets away from the pool area when there is no one around to watch.

Other places where glass balustrades can be used is on patios, porches and of course staircases. Here are some examples of glass staircases and balustrades:

Hello there from Steel Image we would like to say Merry Christmas and a very Happy New Year to you all

Making things more beautiful with glass balustrades

Modern day interior and exterior designs of houses and offices are using more glass and steel together than any other product. The classic lines that glass brings to a structure make things not only clearer but beautiful; beautiful glass is another product that Steel Image offers.

What is a balustrade?

Still a little in the dark to what a balustrade is? Well it’s a molded shaft that can be made of stone, wood, metal or glass. It supports the coping of a handrail and/or of a staircase handrail. There are multiple ways a balustrade is being used today, it is even usedin swimming pool safety. Balustrades can be found the across the world, in museums, old homes, buildings and churches.  So in other words the railings you see on stair cases, roof tops and patios are all balustrades.

Glass Balustrades, are they safe?

Yes, glass balustrades use safety glass that can be 6mm, 8mm or 12mm thick (depending on the design). Since safety glass is used it makes the breaking of such balustrade almost impossible.

Depending on the thickness of the safety glass it could also terminate the use of stainless steel mounts on the floor and the stainless steel hand rails. By using these kinds of mountings, it safely secures the balustrade which in turn make your home safe. Steel Image are experts when it comes to the design, the building and installation of these balustrades. We take the design of your staircase, patio or porch into consideration. We design according to what our customer wants and of course we make sure it fits in with the home as well.

Safety first

Since steel fences around the pool can get rusty and thus require high maintenance, more people have started to use balustrades. Stainless steel and glass balustrades are top choices when placing something secure around the pool. The big idea behind these balustrades is to keep children, pets and people who can’t swim safe and away from an unattended pool. Of course a frameless balustrade gives a beautiful design around the pool and a clear view as well.

But it’s not just used around the pool that it can be used; balustrades are also used on patios and porches to keep both people and pets’ safe when living in higher buildings or on eco estates. Using glass balustrades outside is not a high maintenance job; cleaning safety glass can be done once a month and they can withstand the harmful UV rays of the sun. They are unlikely to break or injure someone in case there is a breakage.

Glass balustrades for you

When thinking about using glass balustrades in your home or office keep in mind that they can bring a classic and clean feel to your environment. It’s simply beautiful to use in design as its clean cut and shows of more of the home or the nature. Here are some of our past glass balustrades projects:
