All of our wire is 316 Marine Grade Stainless unless otherwise stated.
Stainless wire comes in 3 main strands (also refered to as construction) 1x19 (one by nineteen), 7x7 and 7x19. The numbers indicate the number of strands used in the twist of the wire. For example, 7x7 indicates that it is made up of 7 thin wires twisted together and then 7 of these twisted together again. In total there are 49 individual wires twisted to make the one strand of wire. The more wires that are twisted, the more flexible the strand of wire becomes.1x19: Most commonly used with hydraulically swaged fittings. This is the stiffest wire available for baustrading. This wire is not suitable for Thimble and Ferrule type swages.
7x7: This is the most common wire used for DIY balustrading. It is a semi-flexible wire and is suitable for use with Thimble and Ferrule fittings as well as hydraulically swaged fittings.
7x19: This is the most flexible wire available. It is usually used for cranes and winches.
