Metal railings of stairs: types, calculation, installation, manufacturing and design

In general, metal stair railings largely determine the appearance and design of the entire flight of stairs. Railings and fences made of metal will become reliable support and protection for you and your loved ones.

If you have a desire, you can easily order products even according to your own sketches - for this you will need to draw a drawing with your own hands and indicate the required dimensions.

Types of fences

In general, today only two types of stairs are known: external and internal.

Each of the options presented has its own specific features, both in terms of design and technical characteristics.

Outdoor

This type of fencing is constantly exposed not only to the influence of atmospheric and climatic conditions, but also often to acts of vandalism.

This type of product has the following features:

• External metal railings for the stairs are made of ultra-strong alloys, which in turn allows you to reliably protect the structure;
• As an additional protection and design, a special spraying (high-strength powder) is used;
• A metal staircase, if desired, can be constructed with your own hands. You can also order a chrome mirror finish for it.

You will receive the most detailed information (on appearance, design, etc. aspects) by looking at the photo in this article.

Internal

Metal stair railings for indoor decoration can be made from a wide variety of materials, but steel is still the highest priority.

Now let's look at the main characteristics:

1. The fencing of stairs made of ferrous metal is primarily distinguished by the fact that in conjunction with this material, wood, glass, mirrors and other materials can be used without any problems;
2. This type of fencing is made quickly and efficiently, both according to a standard and an individual project;
3. Also, there is the possibility of creating both separate and solid handrails.

Attention! When ordering handrails, you can choose round, rectangular, square models (some of them have rounded ends). Most interestingly, they can be mounted both on fences and on walls and racks.

Summing up a small summary of all of the above material, we can highlight the following: all products have excellent wear resistance and durability. And what is most attractive to the buyer - the price of metal stair railings is available to everyone!

Ladder guards for safe movement

In order to protect your loved ones from unnecessary injuries and bruises on the staircase, you need to install a special partition - a metal staircase fence. The height of the railing should be selected based on the average person's height (175-180), which results in approximately 90-95 cm.

If you decide to order a handrail for a childcare facility, then one more additional handrail should be provided on them, which is located at a height of 55-60 cm.

Attention! When ordering a new railing, special attention should be paid to the handrail - it must be comfortable to grip by hand, have a smooth surface and all joints must be carefully fitted and processed.

Also, the space between the posts can be easily filled with vertical transoms, which are filled with high-strength glass or high-quality plastic.A modern rail for stairs made of metal will favorably emphasize the style of your office or home, and at the same time will become reliable protection against unnecessary injuries.

Calculation, installation, manufacturing and design

As the regulations state, special fences for stair flights must be made of high-quality and high-strength metal. They can be either prefabricated or welded, and contain forged elements.

For welding the frame, argon-arc welding is used, which is able to withstand quite serious loads (in comparison with the same prefabricated ones), and modern methods of processing the seams will make the welding almost invisible.

By the way, I would like to say that stair railings made of ferrous metal require mandatory processing with powder paints or enamels. For structures made of stainless steel, this type of treatment is not required.

Note! When buying a product, study its technical passport - it must necessarily comply with GOST, even though it was made according to your sketches or designed at the manufacturer.

What is noteworthy is that if small children or people with disabilities live in your house, you can easily purchase specialized designs that will be convenient for both toddlers and disabled people. But when buying such products, it should be borne in mind that a guarantee must be given on them without fail.
