Architectural Wire Rope

Architectural Wire Rope

Architectural wire ropes are used for many different applications and in many different industries including the modern home, interior, exterior, and commercial settings. Architectural / structural wire rope is an ideal choice for trellises and fences and decking areas as they can be easily fitted onto existing wood or metal railings. Architectural wire rope, structural wire ropes and architectural rigging ropes are strong, durable and virtually maintenance free.

You may require specific lengths and diameters of architectural wire rope with specific fittings for those unique designs, at Wire Ropes Direct we can fabricate your requirements here on site, to suit your design and function needs.

As the stainless steel fittings used on architectural wire rope, architectural rigging and structural wire ropes are highly aesthetic you will often see them in large shopping centres, shop fittings, modern buildings, staircases, hanging shelving, balustrading, safety railings, decking rails and in the marine industry to name but a few.
