Architectural cable railings are a safe and stylish choice that could be the perfect option for your project.
If you’re currently dreaming of or working on a home or business beautification project, you may consider more railing options than you ever knew existed. Whether it is for a backyard porch, a second-story overlook into your den, an office balcony, or any other architectural feature with a drop-off, you’ll need railings. Don’t think you have to settle for the same boring railings everyone else has. Architectural cable railings are a safe and stylish choice that could be the perfect option for your project.
Aesthetics
Architectural cable railings’ most significant selling point is that they offer an unobstructed view and a modern and beautiful aesthetic. The cables themselves are thin, dark, and metal, which is a popular combination. The even spacing and parallel nature are also inherently pleasing to the eye. Cable railings are a great way to be on-trend, but it is not a trend that will fall flat in a few years. The sleek semi-industrial look will stick around for a while, and this style of railing makes it easy to incorporate into the existing style of your home (for instance, using wood that matches your decking for the posts to tie everything together).
Easy To Own
Architectural cable railings are easy and relatively quick to install. This is one of their best features. Unlike other railings, you won’t have to wait weeks for these to be created and installed. In some cases, a professional team can have them in place in a matter of hours. They are also easy to own, requiring little in the way of maintenance. They resist corrosion, don’t need to be painted, and only need a light cleaning periodically. A wet cloth and some car wash soaps are all you need to keep them looking great.
Safe
Probably the most crucial consideration for a railing choice is safety since railings are a safety feature. Architectural cable railings are safe and can be installed at a proper height to meet safety codes. They don’t have the same concerns that glass panel railings might raise, and it is doubtful that the cable could ever snap and hurt someone.
Adds Value
Any railing will add some value to the home since many of the places you’re considering installing it need it to be up to code – without the railing, you’d lose value. But more than that, cable railings offer a beautiful, safe, stylish addition that can make your home uniquely perfect for the right buyer.
