I need to fix a stainless steel surface mounting bracket for a newel post onto my floor.
Can I use standard zinc-coated steel coachscrews to fix this down into the joists?
or should I try and get hold of stainless steel coachscrews? (worried about corrosion between dissimilar metals)
TIA
Jim
Galvanised should be fine.
Its not as though its likely to be in a hugely damp environment is it?
Unless you have a dog with a penchant for newel posts....;-)
That's reassuring - thanks! (if I had a dog, would I have needed a 'lab' report ;-)
