Installation

No.Our products are designed as DIY solutions and therefore we do not provide installation services for our materials. To assist with your installation, we have installation guides, diagrams, and videos for all our items available here for your convenience.

Aluminum

Aluminum is naturally rust-resistant, preventing it from degrading due to oxidation caused by iron and oxygen. This material is lightweight and easy to work with, making it perfect for use on our handrails and posts to provide durability in all climates. For further protection, our aluminum is anodized, a process that thickens the natural oxide layer on a metal’s surface into an anodic oxide film which protects against corrosion.

Powder Coated Steel

The powder coating applied to our steel creates a barrier to protect against many different types of corrosion, including rust. Many natural metals, like steel, rust over time with exposure to moisture and oxygen. Our powder coating creates a protective barrier so that the metal remains rust free in all climates.

Stainless Steel

Grade 304 stainless steel is one of the most popular types of stainless steel. It is a member of the austenitic family of stainless steel, containing 18 percent chromium and 8 percent nickel. This combination produces several desirable material qualities such as corrosion and heat resistance, easy maintenance, and maximum durability. These characteristics allow stainless steel to provide great performance while maintaining a reasonable cost.

*Warning/Disclaimer* Grade 304 stainless steel is one step below marine grade 316 stainless steel and can be susceptible to rust when installed near saltwater environments. Safe distance from saltwater is dependent on local climate and we are unable to provide an exact measurement for all locations. If you are concerned about long term durability of our stainless products, there are numerous third-party sealants that can be applied at the customer’s discretion. Please note that we do not guarantee that these methods will mitigate any future rust issues and homeowners should use these solutions at their own risk.

Beech Wood

Beechwood is a very hard wood making it an excellent choice for furniture and flooring. It can withstand heavy loads and is not prone to scratches and dents. Due to its density, it holds nails and screws very well. With its straight grain and uniform texture, it is a perfect canvas for paint or stain. Beechwood is a stable wood for indoor use but can cause problems when exposed to moisture. For this reason, our beechwood products are designed for indoor use only.

Prova handrails are designed to be cut down using common household tools such as hacksaws, chop (miter) saws, or circular saws. Please ensure the appropriate blade is affixed to your cutting tool prior to cutting. Prova stainless steel tube infill can be cut using the same methods as our handrails, or a standard pipe cutting tool that supports metal up to a 3/8-inch diameter. Prova stainless steel cable can be cut with a simple handheld cable cutter.

We offer post mounting hardware for wood, composite, and concrete surfaces. DOLLE Staircase Kits also include mounting hardware for both wood and concrete flooring.
