What Are the Different Considerations for Interior and Exterior Stair Railings?
Interior stair railings are more decorative and suited to climate-controlled environments. They can use finishes and materials unsuitable for outdoor use, such as stained wood or polished steel. Exterior stair railings need to stand up to weather exposure, so we recommend:
- Rust-resistant metals like aluminum or stainless steel
- Pressure-treated or composite wood
- UV- and moisture-resistant finishes
We help you choose railing systems that work best for your indoor or outdoor setting.
How Do Cable Railings Compare to Traditional Balusters?
Cable railings and traditional balusters each bring their own unique style and benefits to a railing system. Cable railings have a clean, modern design that provides open, unobstructed views, making them a popular choice for homes with scenic surroundings or contemporary aesthetics. Due to their simple structure, they’re also relatively low-maintenance.
Traditional balusters offer a more classic and decorative look, fitting in well with traditional or ornate architecture. They can also be a more budget-friendly option, making them a practical choice for those looking for elegance at reasonable prices. We’ll help you determine which style is right for you and your property.
Are There Building Code Requirements for Railing Spacing?
Code requirements ensure that nobody can slip through a railing. For example, the spacing between balusters in a railing system needs to be small enough that a 4-inch sphere cannot pass through. Similarly, cable railing systems must be installed with proper tension and spacing to meet safety standards.
Can You Replace the Stair Railing Without Rebuilding the Stairs?
We can replace your stair railing without rebuilding or altering the stairs themselves. If your staircase is in good shape, we can carefully remove the old railing and install a new one while leaving the staircase intact. Railings can often wear out before the stairs do, and targeted replacement is usually the cost-effective, practical solution.
Enhance Every Step With Reliable Stair Railing Installation
A stair railing is one of the most used safety features in any space, and it deserves the same care as the stairs themselves. At Mountain State Metal Works, we help you choose the right railing for your needs and install it properly.
