Production of fences for private and public buildings

Fences are an integral architectural attribute of any home. They are used in almost every facility, as well as to highlight the boundaries of a particular area. Wherever we go, there are fences everywhere: in the office, in industrial facilities, in residential buildings, shops, theaters, subways and just on the streets.

Such external and internal architectural elements as balconies, loggias, terraces, staircases must necessarily have protective structures to ensure complete safety of their use. Presenting them without railings is simply impossible.

Assigned functions

The main functions that are assigned to the fence:

• ensuring the safety of people at the sites of external (internal) structural elements;
• prevention of unauthorized entry of people and animals to an object or territory;
• decorative interior or landscape design.

Fence Requirements

Each security element must meet the requirements for:

• reliability;
• strength;
• durability;
• resistance to atmospheric and mechanical stress;
• stylishness;
• originality;
• individuality (must have a unique design);
• workmanship.

Design features

Making fences has always been a creative process and the ability to embed bold, exclusive ideas and solutions into the architecture of a building or facility.

Since the safety and security of people, especially children, depends on the quality and practicality of these elements, the design and selection of fences must be approached very carefully.

Wrought iron railing

In order for the fence to fully perform its functions, absolutely all structural elements must have the necessary margin of safety:

• racks that form the power frame of the fence. They are made of metal, wood, are forged and combined. The price of the forged frame is much higher than usual;
• fasteners;
• fence sections;
• profile used for the manufacture of mainly glass screens. Modern aluminum profile systems provide a reliable and high-quality base for glass panels.

Materials used

For the manufacture of protective elements of the fence used a variety of material:

• steel (polished and chrome plated);
• brass;
• safety (tempered) glass;
• plastic;
• polycarbonate;
• tree, etc.

Self-installation of stainless steel railing

The following instructions will help to mount the fence for the stairs with your own hands.

Preparatory work

We carry out a marking of marches and platforms of a ladder for installation of racks.

• As a rule, the distance between racks is 900 - 1200 mm. Depending on the flight of stairs, it turns out in two or three steps;

Rack installation scheme in two steps

Note! The handrail should slightly (60 - 100 mm) stand for the rack. You should not cut off the handrail of greater length, if the supports are not further strengthened.

• In places of transition of flight of stairs, it is desirable to install the end posts opposite each other. This will fix them among themselves, thereby enhancing strength.

Connecting the final racks marches

Rack preparation and assembly

Racks are usually supplied in the form of pipe lengths of various lengths with already prepared holes for fastening the holders.

Combined support

Check the completeness and install according to the instructions all the necessary holders and plugs.

Rack Installation

• First, we install an anchor for each support:

• Drill holes in concrete for pre-selected anchors using pre-marked points;
• Finished and cleaned holes filled by 2/3 of the special injection mass;

Anchor for support

• Rotate the anchor in the holes;

• Then install the flanges to secure the racks to the steps;

One of the options for mounting the supports to the steps

• Racks at the beginning of the set in the flanges on the "dry", and then mark the height of the marker on which they must be cut;

You will understand the need for such a trim if you look at the diagram below.

Tip! To get an accurate straight cut at an angle, wrap the pipe with tape and mark the radial line along which to cut. .

Substantiation of trimming supports

• After trimming, the struts are finally fixed to the base of the steps in one of the ways provided for this:
  • With the help of a special composition of the support is glued to the flanges;
  • A weld is used;
  • Used mounting with bolts;
• The final racks between the spans, it is desirable to interconnect to enhance the strength of the structure.

Correctly installed racks should resiliently respond to lateral load, they should not have any backlashes and swings.

Installation of handrails

• Handrails are attached to the supports with the help of special holders;

Holders and other accessories for railing

• For splicing the handrails and ensuring their turns along the flight of stairs, straight and bent connectors are used at different angles;
• After the entire structure is assembled, it is necessary to install protective and decorative plugs and caps on the ends of pipes and other parts.

Tip! To check the build quality, knock on the design - a rattling sound will allow you to identify problem areas.

Conclusion

Thus, the manufacture of fences and staircase railing fences on an individual order will allow you to create a personal look of the house (building) and to give elegance and originality to the interior of the room.
