Railing System Materials

Glass Railing

Glass railings are often used as guardrails, rather than handrails. They can be clear, tinted, frosted, etched, or semi-transparent – whatever your heart desires!

Glass barriers have many benefits. They allow for full, unobstructed visibility and are easy to clean. Additionally, glass allows natural light to shine through. This increased light exposure can make your rooms feel more open, bright, and welcoming.

However, if you want a glass railing for your business, it is advised that you contact one of our professional contractors. Glass is not something that can be installed at home, without previous knowledge or expertise. That’s because glass is extremely fragile and can easily crack or shatter during installation if it is not handled properly.

Wood Railing

Wooden railings are affordable and convey a natural, raw aesthetic. They can easily be stained to match with the branding of your business.

They are also one of the most reasonably priced railing options available.

If you want to use wooden rails outdoors, look into purchasing pressure-treated wood. This wood repels moisture, is more rot resistant, and prevents damage from pests.

Wrought Iron Railing

Wrought iron railings offer a gorgeous, elegant, and sophisticated look for commercial buildings. These railings, although expensive, are versatile and are typically custom-made. They can be powder coated in an assortment of colors or shaped and formed to feature elaborate designs or symbols.

To maintain a wrought iron railing, they need to be regularly recoated and repainted to prevent the formation of rust.

For an artistic or creative business, the craftsmanship shown by wrought iron railings make them well worth their price.

Aluminum Railing

Aluminum railings are usually placed near entrance stairs or decks. Unlike steel, aluminum railings are more lightweight. Therefore, they are simpler to install and can be purchased in a wide range of colors and styles.

For environmentally conscious businesses, aluminum railings are a great choice. They are able to be recycled and reused as different products.

While aluminum railings can dent and scratch easily, they are the perfect outdoor railing. They can survive and persevere through extreme weather conditions, like Florida’s regular thunderstorm and hurricane seasons.

Steel Railing

Steel railings are commonly found in industrial stairways. This material makes extremely strong and safe railings. Moreover, steel railings require little maintenance compared to some other materials. If your building’s railing is dirty, all you need to do is use a sponge and mild soap to clean up any mess or residue. You can also select galvanized steel or stainless steel for your building. These types are weather resistant and are less susceptible to rust and corrosion.

If you need a railing for an outside deck or stairwell, steel railings may not be the best choice. These railings may warp and weaken in the extreme Florida heat, so be cautious in terms of your steel railing’s placement.

To install a steel railing, you will need to hire a professional contractor. These railings are very heavy and require special equipment to install. Contact our experts if you are considering a steel railing.

Handrails vs. Guardrails

Handrails, also referred to as banisters, are placed alongside stairs or near ramps. They are meant to be held as you ascend or descend the stairs. Overall, handrails are essential to reducing falling or tripping incidents. The ideal handrail needs to be stable, dependable, and secure.

Guardrails, on the other hand, are used to prevent people from falling off of a high balcony, deck, or platform. Because of this, guardrails must be tall enough to hinder people from toppling over them. These guardrails also need to be durable and strong. People on these platforms constantly push against or lean against these railings, so they need a barrier that can support their weight.

Why Are Railings Important?

Guardrails are important to so many people. For one, they prevent injuries. They stop people from falling, slipping, or tripping, causing them to hurt themselves.

Railings are also vital for both the disabled community and the elderly. Elderly people who experience difficulty walking or moving may rely on handrails to support and stabilize themselves as they ascend or descend the stairs. Moreover, the visually impaired also depend on handrails. They might feel along the railing and use it as a guide as they navigate your building. Wheelchair users can even use guardrails on ramps to pull themselves up the incline.

Ultimately, individuals with disabilities should be accommodated. They deserve the same accessibility and opportunities as any other client or customer.

What Railing Should My Business Use?

The type of railing your commercial business should use depends on several factors. You need to consider your local building codes, budget, the appearance of your building, the intended location of your railing, and the specifications listed under the Americans with Disability Acts (ADA).
