What is the 10mm Rod Display System?
The 10mm Rod Display System is a modular, stainless steel suspension system designed to support substantial loads while maintaining a polished, professional aesthetic. With a rod diameter of 3/8 inches, it’s engineered for both indoor and outdoor use, provided it’s not exposed to corrosive elements like marine or submerged saltwater environments.

Key Features
-
Material Excellence — The rods, fixings, and fittings are crafted from #SS304 stainless steel, a non-magnetic austenitic alloy known for its machinability, mechanical strength, and corrosion resistance. This ensures durability against atmospheric corrosion, cleaning solutions, and most organic chemicals, though it has limited resistance to acids.
-
Load Capacity — When properly installed, each fixing point can support up to 200 kg (441 lbs), making it suitable for heavy-duty applications. The system’s strength depends on the type and quality of the ceiling or wall fixings and proper installation.
-
Modular Design — The system includes a variety of components, such as threaded rods, panel/shelf supports, top/bottom fixings, and decorative end caps. These allow for ceiling-to-floor, wall-to-wall, or ceiling-overhead configurations, offering complete design flexibility.
-
Rod Lengths — Standard threaded rod lengths are available in 0.5m (1′ 7-11/16″), 1m (3′ 3-1/32″), and 1.5m (4′ 11-1/16″). Rods can be joined for longer lengths or cut to size during installation, with male and female threads ensuring a seamless, continuous appearance.
-
Finishes — Components come in a natural stainless steel finish with a satin/semi-gloss texture. High-gloss polished or custom finishes are available upon request, though lead times and minimum quantities may apply.

Stainless Steel – Sustainable and 100% Recyclable
Stainless Steel is non-degradable and 100% recyclable. Therefore, it is recycled to produce more steel and this process goes on indefinitely. The material is made of nickel, iron, chromium, and molybdenum among other raw materials. These metals are high in demand and therefore stainless steel has high capture rates.
