Measure it. Build it. Install it right.

Custom handrails and guardrails for industrial, commercial and institutional buildings. Designed in-house, fabricated in our shop, installed by our crews.

Posts land on the stringer.

Every post is set out from site measurements and fixed to the structure: side-mounted, top-mounted or core-drilled into concrete.

Rails follow the rake.

Top and bottom rails are cut to the stair's actual pitch, then carried level across the landing.

Infill under four inches.

Pickets, cable, glass or mesh, spaced so a 4‑inch sphere can't pass through. We check it on the drawing before it's built.

Finished for where it lives.

Hot-dip galvanizing for exterior and plant work, powder coat in any RAL colour, brushed stainless for lobbies.

It all starts on paper.

Every job gets shop drawings for your review before a single cut. You sign off on dimensions, connections and finish.

The Railing Guys

This is the kind of elevation you'd see in our shop drawing package. Swap the infill and the profile to see how each option sits on the stair.
