If you’re considering metal railings, steel railings should be at the top of your list because of its durability, low cost of maintenance, and visual appeal.
Most people don’t spend a ton of time thinking about their railings unless something is wrong with them. Railings that are in good working order likely get little thought. And new railings for the deck, landing, or stairway you’re planning? Those get fewer considerations than the other aspects of the project, more than likely. While there are lots of material options for railings, including glass or wood, metal is easily one of the most popular choices, with the decision often coming down to either aluminum or steel. If you’re considering metal railings, steel should be at the top of your list because of its durability, low cost of maintenance, and visual appeal.
Durable
Whether you’re looking for railings for inside your home or outside, you can rest easy knowing that steel will weather any weather or use. Steel is exceptionally durable, which is especially crucial for exterior railings but should also be a consideration for indoor railings. The weight and stability of steel give it staying power and strength, even intricately designed railings. Steel railings will last years without breaking or deteriorating, so choosing them is an investment you can feel good about.
Cost-Effective
The upfront cost of steel railings, especially custom steel railings, will almost certainly be higher than for other materials, such as wood. You should also consider the long term costs of maintenance, however. Steel railings are very low maintenance. They don’t have to be painted or stained yearly, and cleaning them is an easy task. Less expensive materials, especially wood, require time and money to maintain them year after year. Additionally, the upfront cost of custom steel railings may actually be less than you are expecting. Get in touch with a professional steel fabricator to get a quote for your project, and you may be surprised.
Beautiful
Structural steel may not strike you as the most beautiful option, but it has great aesthetic appeal. Steel can be used to achieve many different looks in a home or business. Steel railings often lend a sleek, modern look to a home, so if contemporary is your style, they should fit right in. There are many options with steel, however, if modern is not your thing. A professional steel fabricator could help you design custom railings that completely fit your style.
