Whether you need indoor stair railings, exterior deck railings, balconies, or custom architectural features, our team designs and fabricates steel railings that enhance both safety and visual appeal.
Steel railings are one of the most versatile options for modern staircases. Clean lines, minimalist profiles, and custom finishes allow steel to integrate seamlessly into contemporary, industrial, or traditional interiors. From simple vertical balusters to intricate geometric patterns, our stair railings are designed to elevate your space while meeting all safety requirements.
Selecting the right steel railing design involves more than appearance alone. Here are key factors to consider:
Determine whether the railing will be installed indoors or outdoors. Interior railings often emphasize design and elegance, while exterior railings must prioritize strength, weather resistance, and long-term durability.
Your railing should complement your property’s architectural style. Modern homes often suit clean, linear designs, while traditional properties may benefit from decorative or classic profiles.
High-quality steel and professional finishes are essential, especially for outdoor installations. Proper treatment protects against rust, corrosion, and wear over time.
All steel railings must comply with Ontario building codes and safety regulations. This applies to residential staircases, balconies, decks, and commercial properties.
Custom steel railings allow you to tailor height, spacing, design details, and finishes to suit your exact needs.
Some finishes require more upkeep than others. Powder-coated and stainless steel options typically offer the lowest maintenance.
Choosing the right material ensures long-lasting performance and visual appeal:
Stainless Steel
Highly resistant to corrosion and rust, stainless steel is ideal for both indoor and outdoor railings. It offers a sleek, modern look with minimal maintenance.
Galvanized Steel
Coated with zinc to prevent corrosion, galvanized steel is a durable and cost-effective choice for exterior railings.
Wrought Iron
Often used for decorative designs, wrought iron delivers classic elegance but may require periodic maintenance to prevent rust.
Powder-Coated Steel
Powder coating adds a protective layer that improves weather resistance while offering a wide range of color options.
Mild Steel
Versatile and affordable, mild steel is easy to shape into custom designs and is commonly finished with protective coatings for longevity.
