Guide
Railings do two jobs at once: they keep people safe and they shape how a space looks. Choosing the right system means balancing safety requirements, durability and design. Here's what you need to know.
Common railing types
- Stainless steel — durable, low-maintenance, great for coastal and high-traffic areas.
- Glass — frameless or clamped panels for an open, premium look.
- Mild steel — cost-effective and strong, ideal when powder coated.
Safety basics that matter
While exact codes vary by project and authority, two principles are near-universal: railings should be high enough to prevent falls, and gaps should be small enough that a child cannot pass through. Your fabricator should confirm the specific requirements for your building type.
Fabrication and installation
A good result depends on accurate site measurement, solid fixing into the structure, and clean welds and finishes. That's why we handle both fabrication and installation — so accountability sits in one place.
Choosing for your project
Commercial lobbies often favour glass and stainless for appearance; industrial areas need robust steel guardrails. Tell us the location and look you want and we'll advise. See our railing fabrication & installation service.
