Why are Wrought Iron Railings So Popular?

Wrought iron railings can be an exciting addition to any home or investment property. Specifically, wrought iron railings are one of our favorite handrail design options to highlight. Simply put, they are true works of art.

Today, let’s explore the reasons behind the growing popularity of wrought iron stair railings and how they have grown to become one of our most popular product offerings.

 

Wrought Iron Railings

Wrought Iron Exterior Railings

Wrought iron is a malleable and durable material used to make outdoor gates, fences, decks, balconies, and more. First, unlike wood or aluminum railings, it is a material that can withstand the elements because it’s rust-free. Exterior stair railings made of wrought iron will without a doubt, stand the test of time.

As discussed in our previous blog, iron railings are hand-welded ornamental metal systems. They are crafted to be paired with curved or straight staircases. The handrail systems are designed by our industry-leading team, fabricated in our state-of-the-art metal facility by skilled artisan welders, and finished with powder coating to withstand the test of time.

Wrought Iron Interior Railings

Each wrought iron railing is custom-made precisely for the coordinating staircase. Our designs range from minimalist to elaborate in a multitude of traditional and contemporary patterns. Most importantly, our process remains simple: design, weld, finish, and install.

As with any staircase, the primary function of a handrail system is safety. Built with careful, precise measurement and high-quality construction, a wrought iron handrail system offers a striking aesthetic appeal. Certain elements of our wrought iron railings include:

  • Durability, meeting all safety requirements
  • Ability to support weight against the railing from any angle
  • Code compliance for vertical heights and horizontal spacing
