Handrails are an important part of the stairways as well as balconies. They are what help you to be safe while traversing the stair as well as keep one from falling from balconies. OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration) and the International Building Codes, have strict regulations for both. Fortunately, meeting OSHA's regulations and still have style can be done with four styles of stainless steel railings. This article shows where to buy stainless steel railings.

Glass and steel railings

The hand railing does not need to be plain. The steel and glass railings can be safe and sturdy. Glass and steel balcony railings, also known as a Juliet balcony, can look as if they are not there yet, they are completely safe. The glass and steel railings consist of four basic components: - Railings - Brackets - Glass - Steel The components of the railings can be customised to suit your building. Companies that can create these glass and steel railings are those like Balconette, Perland Sheet Metal, and FEP Railings.

Cable and stainless steel railings

Another option for stainless steel railings is the stainless steel and cable railings. These railings are modern and understated. Like the glass and steel railings, they consist of simple construction: - Railing - Tubular uprights - Mounts for the cables - The cables themselves The cables form the balustrades, making them meet the strict regulations required by OSHA. Companies which create these railings are Cable Railing, Tecni Cable and Southern Rigging Supplies.

Lateral bars

Lateral bars is a third option for stainless steel railings. The lateral bars are probably one of the most modern as they consist of the handrail as well as thinner and horizontal bars that form the balustrades. The railing systems consist of: - Posts - The handrail - Fittings - The horizontal bars This style of railings can be used for balconies and for stairwells.

Custom railings

If you wish to have stainless steel railings made to your specifications as far as style, then any of the above companies will be able to help you. As long as the handrail is of the necessary thickness and the balustrades the proper distance apart, then there is room for creativity.
