Dimensions
Height: Generally, the height of our railings varies from 90 cm to 120 cm, depending on the application. For balconies and decks where safety is a top priority, the height typically ranges from 100 cm to 120 cm to prevent accidental falls. In areas like staircases or walkways where a bit more flexibility in height can be accommodated, the height may be around 90 cm to 110 cm. For custom designs, heights can be adjusted within a range of 80 cm to 130 cm.
Length: The length of the railing is determined by the perimeter it needs to cover. For a straight balcony railing, it can be as short as 1.5 m for a small Juliet balcony or extend up to dozens of meters for a long, continuous balcony. In the case of stair railings, the length follows the run of the stairs. For a single flight of stairs, it usually ranges from 2.5 m to 6 m, while complex multi-flight staircases can have railing lengths exceeding 10 m.
Spacing between Balusters: To ensure safety, especially for preventing small children or pets from squeezing through, the spacing between balusters is carefully regulated. Typically, it ranges from 8 cm to 12 cm. In some applications where extra security is required, such as in childcare facilities or around pools, the spacing can be reduced to as little as 5 cm.

II. Materials |
|
Rail Material |
Common choices include wrought iron, which offers a classic, ornate look and excellent durability. It can be crafted into intricate designs, making it a popular option for decorative railings. Stainless steel is another reliable material, known for its corrosion resistance and modern appearance. It's suitable for both indoor and outdoor use, especially in areas with high humidity or exposure to the elements. Aluminum alloy is also utilized, being lightweight and easy to work with. It can be anodized or powder-coated in various colors to match different architectural styles. |
Baluster Material |
Similar to the rail material, balusters can be made of wrought iron, stainless steel, or aluminum alloy. In addition, glass panels can be used as balusters for a contemporary and open feel. The glass thickness usually ranges from 6 mm to 10 mm. Wood balusters, often made of hardwoods like oak or cedar, provide a warm, natural aesthetic and can be stained or painted. |
Base and Mounting Material |
The base of the railing, which attaches to the floor or supporting structure, is typically made of metal. Stainless steel or galvanized steel plates are common, ensuring a stable connection. The mounting hardware, such as bolts and anchors, is also of high quality to withstand the forces exerted on the railing. |
III.Hardware |
|
Connectors and Joints |
Special connectors and joints are used to assemble the railing components. These are designed to provide a strong and seamless connection, whether it's joining sections of rail or attaching balusters. They are often made of the same material as the railing for consistency and durability. |
Caps and Finials |
Decorative caps are placed at the ends of the rails to give a finished look. They can be simple rounded caps or elaborate finials in various shapes, adding an artistic touch. In some cases, post caps are also used on top of vertical posts for added visual appeal. |
IV. Performance Characteristics |
|
Safety |
The proper height, appropriate baluster spacing, and sturdy construction of the railing ensure that it provides a reliable barrier, protecting people from falls and keeping them safe in elevated areas. |
Durability |
The use of high-quality materials and proper installation means the railing can withstand daily wear and tear, including impacts, weathering, and the test of time. It will maintain its structural integrity and appearance for years. |
Aesthetic Appeal |
With a wide range of materials, designs, and finishes available, the railing can enhance the overall look of the building or outdoor space. It can blend in with traditional, modern, or rustic architectural styles, adding charm and character. |
