If you want to add a metal guardrail to your staircase, you can contact us to customize a personalized guardrail. When you plan to customize a metal stair guardrail/railing, please pay attention to the following factors:
Custom Material Selection:
1. Steel (cold rolled or welded): Very strong and economical, but requires proper surface treatment to prevent rust.
2. Stainless steel: More corrosion resistant, lower maintenance, ideal for outdoor or wet locations.
3. Aluminum: Lightweight and corrosion resistant, but less hard, requires larger profiles.
4. Wrought iron: More decorative, more expensive, requires frequent repainting.
Custom Structural Design and Size:
1. Raw Material Size: Choose a tube/wall thickness that meets the load-bearing requirements.
2. Handrail Grips: Round or ergonomically shaped handrails are easiest to grip.
3. Parts in contact with the ground: Smooth guardrail shapes are safer, and hard supports avoid sharp edges.
Anti-corrosion and surface treatment:
1. Primer and paint: Powder coating is durable and comes in a wide range of colors.
2. Galvanizing: Hot-dip galvanizing prevents steel from rusting, and is generally treated with a topcoat.
3. Stainless steel passivation: Enhance corrosion resistance by removing free iron on the surface.
