Here are 4 ways you can incorporate pipe railings into your next residential or industrial building project.
Stair - Ramp Railings
Aluminum pipe railings are adaptable for staircases and ramps. Installing a pipe handrail is a simple, durable option to ensure the safety of any staircase or ramp. This railing system is particularly well suited for outdoor steps, as weather conditions can increase the chance of slips or falls. Aluminum handrails are an ideal railing material because they are weather resistant. Our pipe railings are made with premium powder-coated aluminum, so they won’t rust when exposed to rain or snow.
Stand-Alone Railings
Outdoor rock paths look beautiful but can be unsafe. Slippery rocks and an uneven walking surface may cause safety concerns. If you have an outdoor stone path, the addition of an aluminum handrail will add extra safety. The base of the aluminum posts can be mounted directly to secure stone steps. An aluminum handrail also acts as a barrier to separate the path from its surroundings. This is particularly important if your walking path is near an unsafe ledge. Assess the conditions of your outdoor walking path. If you are unsatisfied with your safety, consider installing a stand-alone pipe railing.
Wall-Mounted Railings
Wall-mounted railings are well-suited for commercial construction. If you use a wall-mounted flange, pipe railings can be mounted on a vertical surface. This makes aluminum pipe handrails very adaptable. Whether it is a public hallway or residential staircase, pipe railings can be adjusted to fit your building design. Aluminum pipe railings can be shaped to fit every corner or crevice. You can also cut pipe railings on-site, so you’ll have all the sizes you need.
Secondary Handrail
An aluminum handrail can be designed into your building project or added afterwards. Pipe railings can be attached to another railing as a secondary handrail. In this instance, the pipe railing adds a middle rail that is easy to grasp and protects against falls. Whether you have scenic, glass, or picket railings, you can add an aluminum handrail for extra stability. If you want to increase the safety of your current railing system, consider installing a secondary handrail. Don’t compromise on safety, use aluminum pipe railings in your next building project.
