Ornamental staircases and handrail manufacture

There are different grades of stainless steel depending on its application and the place in which it is to be installed, stainless steel products that are installed in harsh environments such as coastal areas will almost certainly have a higher grade than balustrades and handrails installed in interior environments or exterior balcony areas.

The finish of stainless steel also differs and is largely down to the design and style you want for your staircase system. There are lots of things to consider when installing any kind of architectural structure such as stainless steel railings, balustrades and staircases. The safety aspect is the first and most important aspect and lots of professionals are involved in the design and the way the ornamental staircases are positioned plays an important role. A good professional company will be involved from the beginning to ensure all aspects are considered.

The stainless steel railings and balustrades can be designed to meet your specifications and design ideas and you can work closely with the designers to achieve the design you want. Highly polished stainless steel handrails and balustrades are excellent and popular choices for interior environments and can add real design to both modern and traditional settings.

There are different trends at different times and the current trend is to mix and combine different materials together, this may be using stainless steel balustrades and handrails along with glass partitions or using stainless steel combined with wood.  Glass partitions also offer an important safety feature along with providing protection from noise and wind in exterior environments. The glass used in exterior environments will be of a certain thickness depending on its position.

A lot of work goes into the manufacture of stainless steel balustrades and handrails to ensure that they are streamlined and look clean once finished, no lines and attachments are visible and the finish is perfect.  The finishes used don't just provide a decorative aspect but are designed to be of low maintenance to avoid smears, fingerprints and water marks.

Balconies are popular places to have ornamental staircases, as are work premises which will finish off a building beautifully. A staircase is an important feature as well as a very important function within the home but they also provide a focal point within the home.

If you are considering an ornamental staircase for your home or work premises, the first aspect is to find a reputable company that can provide useful information and advice before you make the final decision. The internet is a good place to start and there are many design ideas that will give home owners inspiration and ideas on costs.
