We make chrome and aluminum fencing stairs

Aluminum Railing

If the staircase has more than three steps, then there are protective handrails on it, which can be made of different materials. We will now talk about aluminum structures and watch the video in this article. There will also be considered the compositional possibilities with other materials.

Aluminum railings

I would like to draw attention to the benefits of installing aluminum fencing - first of all, it’s their low weight and price, which is about one and a half times lower than similar stainless steel structures. No less attractive is the simplicity of the assembly of such a design, which allows you to make installation yourself.

The advantages of aluminum fencing

Polished Aluminum Pipe Fence

• First of all, you can pay attention to why aluminum railings so attract customers and above all, this lack of constant care for them. The fact is that such a metal can be painted with polymer or powder coatings to change the color, but you can do without painting in general.

Ground Aluminum Pipe Fences

• Processing of aluminum profiles without painting involves two ways of finishing, this is polishing and grinding. The first method involves a mirror surface that does not need additional processing, because its appearance is very good. But when grinding the surface of the material gets a matte shade, so here you can act on your own - either paint or leave as is.

Anodized Railing

• If we talk about covering profiles of aluminum railings and fences, then it can be polymeric and reflect any color of the RAL table, or run under a tree of one or another breed. But the most popular at the moment can be called anodized electroplating.

Anodized coating

• With this method of coating the railing visually practically does not differ from stainless steel, although they are much cheaper and almost as good as wear resistance. The thickness of the layer is 18 microns and this provides sufficient protection of the metal itself against oxidation. In addition, this method allows you to simulate any non-ferrous metal.

Combined railings

• Aluminum Railing и ограждения лестниц в помещении можно комбинировать с любыми материалами, ведь в таких условиях на них не будут воздействовать температурные перепады или атмосферные осадки. Чаще всего разнородность элементов заключается в разнице металлов, например, алюминиевые поручни на стойках из нержавеющей стали, но могут также использоваться дерево и пластик. Из двух последних материалов делаются поручни, хотя для них может найтись и другое применение в виде экрана.

Council For combined stair railings, you can use various inserts made of wood, metal, glass and even mirrors. So you can make a real work of art out of the railing.

Installation of metal railings on the street

Drilling holes for balusters

• Let's try to install the railing and the fence on the concrete march, and it can be aluminum, stainless or chrome staircase fence - in this case, the principle remains the same. First of all, it is necessary to make markings for vertical posts, or rather, for anchors, and for this it is necessary that the edge of the hole be at least 5 cm from the edge of the step so that the edge does not collapse. This distance must be left even on marble slabs, because when drilling, despite the strength of the material, it may crack from vibration.
• If you need to install aluminum or chromed fencing of stairs made of burned granite, then you can’t manage with a conventional perforator - use a drilling rig for this, as in the photo above. Consider that the supports need to stand strictly vertically, so the wells for the anchors, respectively, should be lowered at an angle of 90? to the horizon line.

You can put on supports for handrails on the installed anchor.

• Anchor in the hole is fixed with a special epoxy glue and the general appearance of the entire fence depends on how they are exposed. After all the anchors are installed in the wells (see photo above), rack pipes are put on them and handrails are mounted. Thus, the whole fence is assembled.

• After mounting the handrails, railings or intermediate lintels are screwed onto aluminum ladder fences. In steel structures, for example, from stainless steel, cables can be used as handrails, which are either passed through racks or mounted on special holders.

Installation of metal railings in the room

Stainless steel railing in the stairwell

• First of all, let's pay attention to what kind of stairs can be in the rooms, and these are the three main types - marching, screw and spinal structures. In addition, they can be with a kosour, that is, with a base for fixing the steps, or without it. The last division is of no small importance, because on bezkosurnye devices, the steps are mounted on racks of the fence and the whole staircase, in fact, rests on the railing.

Boltsevy fastening balusters on bezkosurnoy stairs

1. Upper step;
2. Threaded connection (fastening on boltsa or bolts);
3. Baluster;
4. Bottom step.

• For fastening the stairless ladder on one side of it, the base serves as a string that attaches to the wall, while the opposite side of the steps is already mounted on the baluster. In these cases, the combined enclosures for the stairs are not acceptable, since increased stiffness is required from the railing, which will fix the entire structure.
• The ladderless, despite the seeming fragility and elegance of the forms, are powerful enough and can withstand heavy loads. So, with the right layout and powerful walls of the building, one step can withstand up to 1800 kg.

Council It is best of all to carry out installation of bezkosourny ladders from ready accessories which are already calculated for this room. The advantage of prefabricated parts guarantees the quality of assembly and safety of operation.

Methods of flange mounting balusters

• Most often, aluminum, stainless and chrome stair railings are installed with the help of flanges, crosses or the most common welding. Moreover, the latter option is usually acceptable for concrete structures, when the welding seam is in the body of the step. This option is perhaps the most reliable, because the support is still welded to the reinforcing frame of the march or to the crosspiece, which serves as a supporting heel.

Conclusion

Installation of stair railings of any type is best done from prefabricated elements made specifically for your stairs in the factory. They are accompanied by instructions for assembly and, with its observance, you will be able to provide yourself with reliable protection and an additional decorative element.
