Individual Ellipsis Post in Anodised Aluminium – Pre-assembled with Rail Brackets and Fixing Base

This individual post from the Ellipsis range is a structural element in anodised aluminium designed to complement or customise an existing Ellipsis balustrade. It is delivered pre-assembled: the rail brackets, handrail bracket and fixing base are already in place on the post — it fixes directly to the floor without prior assembly. It includes 5 round rail brackets, a handrail bracket Ø50mm and its fixing base.

This post is used primarily in two situations: adding an intermediate post on a long span to reinforce the rigidity of the whole assembly, or freely assembling a balustrade entirely piece by piece by combining individual posts, rails and a handrail ordered separately. Available in gloss black and gloss stainless steel to remain consistent with the rest of the Ellipsis installation.

Key points

✓ Delivered pre-assembled — 5 rail brackets + handrail bracket + fixing base already in place, direct floor fixing
✓ Intermediate post — reinforces rigidity on long spans (> 120cm per section)
✓ Free composition — allows a balustrade to be built entirely piece by piece
✓ Compatible with the entire Ellipsis range — Ø16mm rails, Ø50mm handrail
✓ Anodised aluminium — corrosion-resistant, interior and exterior
✓ Floor fixings not included — to be chosen according to the substrate

Installation tips

Fix the base to the floor with the appropriate fixings for the substrate (not included) before inserting the rails. Check the post is plumb using a spirit level on both axes before finally tightening the base. Then insert the Ø16mm rails into the 5 brackets, then connect the handrail into the Ø50mm bracket. If this post is added in an intermediate position on an existing span, connect the rails along their length with Ø16mm Ellipsis rail connectors on both sides of the post.

Maintenance and protection

Clean with soapy water annually. Check the tightness of the fixing base and rail brackets once a year — thermal expansion outdoors may slightly loosen screwed assemblies. Rinse with fresh water in coastal environments after salt spray episodes.

Frequently asked questions

Can this individual post replace a post from an Ellipsis starter or extension kit?

Yes. The individual Ellipsis post is dimensionally identical to the posts in the starter and extension kits. It can replace a damaged post or serve as an additional intermediate post on a long span. The finish must match that of the existing kit (gloss black or gloss stainless steel) to ensure visual consistency.

At what spacing should Ellipsis posts be placed?

The Ellipsis system is designed for 100cm modules (extension kit) and 120cm (starter kit). If you are adding an intermediate post, place it in the middle of the relevant span. For a 200cm span without an intermediate post, rigidity is sufficient if the two end posts are correctly fixed. Beyond 200cm without an intermediate post, it is advisable to add one to limit rail deflection under lateral load.

Does the fixing base allow for a projecting fixing (side fixing to a beam)?

The supplied fixing base is designed for standard floor fixing (slab or floor). For side fixing to a beam, stair stringer or wall, a specific side fixing plate is required — not included with this product. Contact WoodUp to check the fixing options available for your configuration.

How many individual posts are needed to build a 3m balustrade from scratch?

For a fully piece-by-piece installation over 3m, a minimum of 4 posts are needed: one at each end and two intermediate (spacing ~1m). Then add Ø16mm round rails in the appropriate length, the handrail, and junction connectors between rails. This bespoke approach is more complex than kits — it suits atypical configurations where standard kits do not fit.
