Types of Metal Railings
At STAR Building Materials, our Regal Ideas metal railing systems are available in several different styles, each with its own unique features and benefits:
Picket System - Classic, versatile, and straightforward to install, a picket system is often preferred for decks and outdoor stair railing options.
Glass System - A glass railing system offers safety, durability, and uninterrupted sightlines. It provides a clear boundary without obscuring the view.
Lighting Options - Seeking railing options for day and night usage? Consider our range of LED-enhanced custom railing designs that will accent your property in all the right ways!
Regal Ideas aluminum railings are incredibly durable yet lightweight for easy installation and handling. All components have a UV powder coat finish that renders them low-maintenance as well as highly resistant to rust and corrosion over time.
Choosing the Right Design for Your Space
When it comes to selecting the right metal railing for your space, there’s no right or wrong. That being said, there are definitely some essential considerations to keep in mind. Ask yourself the following questions as you make a final decision:
- Do I want my railing to stand out as a unique property feature or blend into its surroundings?
- What other design elements need to be considered?
- Is my railing primarily for safety, aesthetics, or both?
- Is it important for my railing to have clear sightlines?
- Will I want my railing to be visible when it is dark?
Installation Basics
Whether you hire a professional to install metal railings on your property or plan to tackle the project yourself, Regal Ideas railings are designed with quick, straightforward installation in mind. Before you begin, always remember to look into local metal railing building codes and safety regulations.
The 3 main steps in metal railing installation are:
- Install posts
- Install top and bottom rails
- Install pickets and/or glass
Accessories such as decorative aluminum post caps can be added once all of the structural components of the railing have been installed. For further information about metal railing installation, speak directly with a helpful STAR representative.
Maintenance Tips for Long-Lasting Beauty
Aluminum railings are long-lasting and generally require very little maintenance. When cleaning is required, simply spray with a hose or gently scrub with a soft cloth and mild, non-abrasive detergent—a dry or rough brush or cloth can leave scratches in the railing’s coating. It’s also a good idea to check your metal railing seasonally for any deterioration or loosening parts that could lead to further damage over time.
