Nylon-coated invisible grills for added protection and a softer finish
A thin nylon coating applied over the stainless steel cable adds a further layer of corrosion protection beyond the steel grade itself, along with a slightly softer look and feel.
Even SS316 marine-grade cable benefits from an additional protective layer in the harshest exposure conditions — direct coastal spray, industrial pollutants, or properties with heavy exposure to cleaning chemicals used on nearby surfaces. A nylon coating wraps the steel cable in a thin polymer layer that adds a further corrosion barrier without meaningfully affecting cable strength.
Beyond the protective function, some customers choose nylon coating for the slightly softer visual and tactile finish it gives the cable compared to bare stainless steel, along with marginally reduced sound transmission if wind causes any cable vibration.
Nylon-coated cable is typically offered as an upgrade over standard bare SS304 or SS316 cable, priced as an addition to the base per-sq.ft rate rather than a completely separate product line.
As with any coating, very long-term UV exposure can eventually affect the coating's appearance before the underlying steel itself is compromised, so we recommend nylon coating as a valuable addition rather than a replacement for choosing the correct steel grade in the first place.

Frequently asked questions
Does nylon coating replace the need for SS316 near the coast?+
No, we recommend choosing the correct steel grade first (SS316 for coastal properties) and treating nylon coating as an additional layer of protection on top, not a substitute.
Does the coating affect cable strength?+
No, the coating is a thin protective layer and does not meaningfully change the cable's tensile strength.
How much does nylon coating add to the cost?+
Typically a modest addition over the base per-sq.ft rate for bare cable of the same grade.
