Stanchion Mount 

For mounting with stone or tile covered concrete slabs or on roof decks where penetration of waterproof roofing membranes must be minimized. Short stanchions are attached to the structural members prior to pouring the slave or laying the roof membrane. Railing posts are then sleeved over the protruding stanchion ends and secured with screws. Stanchions are available in steel, aluminum, or stainless steel. Typically 12" tall but can be custom sized and supplied with or without base plates. 

Note: Stanchions can also be mounted to concrete or steel.
