Before you choose the material for your balcony railing system and order it, you need to know what it is, what it’s made of, and how it should look.
Balcony railings are constructions that complete the exterior of your balcony, veranda, terrace, etc. They have two main functions: safety and aesthetics. Any platform raised to 24” and more needs railings to preventthe danger of falling.
Balcony Railing Material Types
Wood– an affordable option, flexible in design.
Aluminum– an easily maintained option, flexible in design and color.
Vinyl– a maintenance free option, durable, weather resistant.
The Main Features of Exterior Balcony Railing System
Safety.
It’s important that the installation of railings is done by professionals. Our specialists at Art Metal Workshop Inc. regard safety as their first priority, as the railings have to be durable and strong in order to withstanda certain amount of pressure a person may put on it and to prevent dangerous falls.
Whether it’s a wrought iron Juliet balcony or simple outdooraluminum balcony railing, it looks better if its design fits into the overall look of the house. There are no limits in ideas if all the regulations are satisfied.
A balcony with high quality railings can transform an unused space into another room. Depending on the size of the balcony, you can put furniture in there, and the space will function as a summer/winter terrace.
Balcony Railings Height Requirements
In Toronto,Ontario, both indoorand outdoor balconies placed on the elevation of 24” and highermust have railings with the height of at least 42”. If it doesn’t interfere with the design of the house, you can make them higher. If it does interfere, but you still need a height extension, the best choice so far is glass railing extensions. They will enhance the safety option and yet won’t make the balcony look like a jail.
The space between two balusters in your balcony railing system must not be more than 4”. According to the height code, this space is safe enough for a kid to not squeeze his or her head into the railing system.
Balcony Railing Additional Elements
To enhance the aesthetics and functionality of your balcony, we can also help you with the installation of:
Balcony railing planters.
Balcony fence for cats and dogs.
How To Choose the Right Balcony Railings?
Imagine yourself walking into the supermarket with a plan on what to buy and where to go. And just when you grab that first item on your grocery list, here comes a salesman grabbing your attention and trying to sell you his product. You wanted to break free but he just won’t let you go. In the end, you are forced to buy just to get rid of him. It’s a win for him but not for you.
How should you deal when you are forced into these situations?
Also, have you ever had the feeling where you think you must agree to everything presented just because the salesman is very pushy? Just to end the conversation, you end up agreeing and handing over your money.
This should not be the case. Here at Art Metal, we believe you have the choice and you have the last say in every purchase you make. We won’t take you hostage just because we need to sell and you need to buy what we’re selling.
You make the call. You decide whether you should buy or you should go away.
We don’t believe in hard selling. This only sabotages the customer’s right to an informed decision. What we offer rather, in lieu of flowery sales pitches and empty promises, are a wide array of balcony railings you can choose from, customizable balustrades that fit your specifications, and a team of experts who will help you from day one.
So, what should be the non-negotiables when choosing the right balcony railings for your homes? We say, never compromise and lower your standards when it comes to safety, design, and cost.
These are very important factors when you make any kind of purchase.
Balcony Railing: Ensuring Your Family’s Safety
More than the design and aesthetics, safety is the primordial reason why most families install fences on their properties. Fences keep the kids off the streets. Fences keep the house out of a burglar’s way. Also, fences serve as a demarcation of one’s property.
In terms of balcony railings, though it is sometimes referred to as a mere accessory to a property, it can actually spell a lot of difference in your homes’ additional safety. If you have strong and sturdy balcony railings, you keep people on the inside safe while you keep the bad elements away.
We do believe in this primary goal and that’s why we are committed to providing you with state-of-the-art balcony railings made from high-quality raw materials welded by seasoned craftsmen.
You can choose from glass, aluminum, and steel for your balcony railings. The reasons for choosing these as raw materials are because they are flexible, durable, and can also be customized easily to fit your specifications. These salient features of the materials, in turn, make them very ideal for molding intricate designs and unique balcony railings.
If you want to create an illusion of enhanced space, we can also use glass panels as your railings. Since tempered glass is used, you are sure that it’s safe while also being pleasant to the eyes. You don’t have to worry about kids running around. The product and service we deliver will speak volumes about our brand.
On top of safe balcony railings, we also make sure that even the installation and mounting part will be safe.
Our team of expert installers got your balcony railings set-up needs covered. They are seasoned workers who built their credibility and expertise from years of experience. They are also knowledgeable about the quality and safety standards so you know that you’re in the safe, capable, and reliable hands.
This leverage is especially magnified in the installation of glass panels. The panels themselves, since they are made of glass, are already quite delicate. If not handled properly, instead of adding safety and beauty, might end up causing accidents. It is, therefore, a must to have equipped and skilled hands to handle the installation.
Our team will make sure that your family is free from dangers that might result from improper and bad installation.
Costing and Why it Matters
Why do we claim that cost should also be a non-negotiable requirement for the customers? The reason for this is simple – we don’t want to force you to pay for something you can’t afford. In the same vein, we also don’t want to limit your spending capacity with restricted designs and limited abilities.
We will work around your budget. Just let us know how much you have in mind for the job that needs to be done, along with the design you chose.
Most service providers either set a hefty price for excellent quality or a lower price for low-quality output. The choice of the customer, in this case, is very limited. We don’t want to put you in that situation. Here at Art Metal, you have the last say. Your decision matters.
Unparalleled After Sales Service
On top of great designs, efficient costing, and safety, another reason why you should choose us is that we offer great after-sales service. We will not stop taking care of your needs soon after you paid us and we have your balcony railings installed.
Our online chat support team, our office support, and the rest of our team remain at your disposal even after the deal is done. This is our commitment to you and to your family in exchange for your trust.
We take our credibility seriously that’s why we also take customer satisfaction seriously. If you have questions or concerns, you can reach us through numerous channels and we will get back to you as soon as we can.
Our homes are our little sanctuaries, places where we seek refuge when the world gets crazy. It is good to know that at the moment of distress, we have a safe place to retreat to. Let’s make our homes always safe and comfortable.
Most people would say that buying a house or renovating one is not a good idea because it is essentially a “dead investment.”
We beg to disagree.
In this hectic and often crazy world, our home is the only place we can relax, let loose, and recuperate. Since we exert too much effort at work, in our circles, and even with our relationships, it is equally important to recharge in a place where we feel the safest. Coming out into the world, mentally and physically ready, is actually a huge return on investment.
This means that we are again ready for the grind and for the pressure. The home environment plays a huge factor here so it’s not correct to say that making an effort to improve it is a “dead investment.”

My new railings look beautiful. The workmanship is superb. The installation crew was friendly, very skilled and professional. I very much appreciated the crew’s installation of temporary railings when they needed to remove my old railings to use as a template for fabrication in the shop.

Why Design Is Non-Negotiable
We want you to come out of a discussion feeling like you won the deal. It’s not like we will fool you into believing that
you had a lot of takeaways. We won’t force you to accept something you don’t want just because that’s the only one left available.
This is particularly true when it comes to the design of your balcony railings. If you want vintage designs, we have it. If you love avant-garde balustrades or medieval designs, we also have it. Should you have your own design in mind, we can also accommodate your request. The point is that you have a lot of designs to choose from. At the end of the day, you get what you want.
That’s a sure win and that’s also the reason why we say that design should be a non-negotiable for you.
