What types of metal are used for railings?

Metal Railings and Partition

The most common types of metal used for custom railings include:

  • Stainless Steel: Known for its durability and corrosion resistance, stainless steel is a popular choice for both indoor and outdoor railings. It offers a sleek, modern look.

  • Powder-Coated Steel: This type of steel is coated with a protective finish that adds color and enhances its resistance to rust, making it ideal for outdoor applications.

  • Aluminum: Lightweight and rust-resistant, aluminum is a great choice for areas exposed to weather. It’s also easy to work with and available in various finishes, but it does not offer the same strength as stainless steel.

At Forge 53°, we provide custom metal railings using these high-quality materials, ensuring your project is both durable and aesthetically pleasing.
