Who Needs Steel Handrails?
Steel can be used for handrails as a part of a number of different structures:
Steel Staircases – Handrails, also known as bannisters, are the element of a staircase used for holding. Steel staircases can have one, two, or no bannister at all. In the case of larger staircases there can be one (or multiple) handrail(s) in the middle of the flight.
Steel Decking – Handrails are a necessary safety feature of most decks. Steel is strong, versatile and boasts a sleek modern look and is a great choice for railings.
Steel Platforms and Walkways – Many industrial spaces require steel platforms, and sometimes complex networks of walkways. Again, a necessary safety and functional feature of these is a sturdy, durable steel handrail.
Steel Mezzanines – Whether a mezzanine is implemented as a space-saver in an industrial warehouse, or as a viewing balcony in a commercial offices space, handrails will be a central structural element.
Why Choose Steel?
Aesthetic – When it comes to handrails, you will want something that is as aesthetically pleasing as it is tough and durable. Trends in construction and architecture over the last half century have favoured steel more and more, and this is absolutely the case with handrails. Steel can be integrated easily into any space and pairs very well with many materials: glass, concrete, brick and wood.
Strength – Steel has extremely high tensile strength. It is an extremely durable alloy, made up of strong materials that discourage dislocation at an atomic level. You can always rely on the strength of steel.
Sustainability – Steel is one of the world’s most reused materials, with a global recycling rate of over 90%. It can be melted down and re-fabricated an infinite amount of times without losing its structural integrity and is therefore is a highly sustainable material to build with.
Durability – Steel won’t rot, it isn’t combustible, and bugs have no appetite for it. Regardless of whether your handrail resides outdoors or in a central part of your home it is an excellent choice. Come high heat, extreme cold, gale force winds or torrential rain, you can count on steel for a lifetime.
Economical – In spite of its many perks, steel is actually very economical. Because building with steel takes considerably less time than building with other materials, it will save you money on labour hire. Steel will also last you a lifetime and will increase the value of your home or business. Steel fabrication is also a cost efficient process, and we pass the savings onto our customers.
