Articulated Connector for 16x16mm Square Balusters Quadrum Range – Variable Angle
This articulated connector allows two 16x16mm square balusters from the Quadrum range to be joined at a variable angle, for configurations where the balustrade changes direction. It is used in combination with the articulated horizontal handrail connector 80x30mm Articulated handrail connector MC Quadrum 80x30mm — together, they manage the complete angle of the balustrade across its full height. Each balustrade angle requires 5 baluster connectors (one per horizontal baluster) and 1 handrail connector.
Available in gloss black and gloss stainless steel finishes, this connector maintains the visual consistency of the Quadrum installation. It is exclusively compatible with the 16x16mm square balusters of the Quadrum range — not interchangeable with the Ø16mm round balusters of the Ellipsis range, which require their own articulated connectors Articulated connector for Ø16mm round balusters Ellipsis.

Installation tips
Order this connector in batches of 5 units per angle. Set the angle of each connector identically before insertion — use a protractor or adjustable square to measure the exact angle of your configuration. Insert the baluster ends into the connectors without tightening, check the alignment of all balusters on both sections of the balustrade, then tighten progressively post by post. Always combine with the handrail connector Articulated handrail connector MC Quadrum 80x30mm for the same angle at the top of the balustrade.
Maintenance and protection
Clean with soapy water. Check the tightening of the articulated mechanism annually — thermal variations outdoors can slightly loosen the angle locking screws. Rinse with fresh water in coastal environments to prevent salt deposits in the mechanism.
Frequently asked questions
Is this connector compatible with the Ø16mm round balusters of the Ellipsis range?
No. This connector is designed for the 16x16mm square balusters of the Quadrum range. The Ø16mm round balusters of the Ellipsis range have a different profile and require specific Ellipsis articulated connectors Articulated connector for Ø16mm round balusters Ellipsis. The two connectors have different internal housings — they are not interchangeable even if the nominal dimensions appear similar.
How many connectors should be ordered for a Quadrum balustrade at a 90° angle?
For a 90° angle: 5 articulated connectors for 16x16mm square balusters Articulated connector for 16x16mm square balusters Quadrum + 1 articulated horizontal handrail connector 80x30mm Articulated handrail connector MC Quadrum 80x30mm. If your balustrade has multiple angles (L-shape, U-shape), multiply these quantities by the number of angles. Order in one go to ensure batch and finish consistency.
Can this articulated connector handle angles less than 90°?
The articulated mechanism covers common balustrade angles (approximately 60° to 120°). For very acute or very obtuse angles outside this range, contact WoodUp before ordering to confirm compatibility. Non-standard angles may require specific adaptation solutions.
Should this connector always be combined with the handrail connector Articulated handrail connector MC Quadrum 80x30mm?
Yes, in all angle situations. A change of direction in the balustrade requires managing the angle on all 5 balusters and on the handrail simultaneously. Ordering only the baluster connectors without the handrail connector makes it impossible to complete the installation correctly. Always order both accessories together for each angle.
