Wrought Iron Handrail: Turn-key and Custom-made Approach

First, the design phase will be completed with all drawings and mockups approved by the client. Then, our artisan welders will hand forge the handrail in our state-of-the-art metal fabrication facility. Our team will also pre-fit the ornamental metal stair handrails to the staircase before delivery and installation. This results in the best possible fit and finish, eliminating the need for messy welding and grinding at the job site.

No matter how custom and unique the handrail project is, we employ a proven, turn-key approach that ensures flawless execution throughout all phases of construction. Our robust project management system promotes organization and excellent communication, and our team has earned an outstanding reputation for timely and smooth delivery.

Q&A: Modern Iron Stair Railings

Q: What makes a wrought iron stair railing different from other railing materials?
A: Wrought iron offers a combination of strength, customization, and artistry that many other materials cannot match. It can be shaped into simple geometric lines or intricate scrolls while still providing a solid, long-lasting railing system.

Q: Are wrought iron stair railings suitable for both modern and traditional designs?
A: Yes. Clean, parallel lines and minimalist patterns fit modern architecture, while more ornate scrolls and curved elements complement traditional or classic interiors. The same material can be tailored to almost any design style.

Q: How durable are wrought iron stair railings in everyday use?
A: Wrought iron is known for its strength and longevity. When combined with a quality powder-coated finish, it resists wear, chipping, and corrosion, making it a strong choice for both interior and exterior stair railings.

Q: What is the design process like with Southern Staircase?
A: The team collaborates with you from the start, using options like CAD drawings, 3D renderings, and mockups to explore designs. Once approved, artisan welders hand forge the railing, pre-fit it to the staircase, and prepare it for smooth installation on site.

Q: Can wrought iron stair railings meet building code and safety requirements?
A: Yes. Southern Staircase designs each railing system with code compliance in mind, including proper handrail heights, baluster spacing, and structural support, so your finished railing is both beautiful and safe.
