How do I maintain and clean my stainless steel cabling?

Stainless steel cables require no special maintenance! If you spill something on them, you can simply clean them with mild soap and water to keep them looking their best. They are super easy to care for and last a very long time.

Besides cables for railings, how else do builders and designers use architectural cables?
Building trades use architectural cable in a variety of innovative ways beyond railings. It’s popular for creating green trellises, which provide support for climbing plants and add a touch of nature to urban spaces. Architectural cable is also used in art installations, offering both structural support and a sleek aesthetic. In commercial and industrial applications, it serves as heavy-duty support for awnings, canopies, and walking bridges, ensuring safety and stability while maintaining a modern look.
