Custom Railing Design & Fabrication
Acadia Stairs makes custom railings & handrails for the stairs we build, but we also offer custom railings for your existing stairs or balconies. With your needs in mind, we will fabricate the perfect custom railing to your space.
We fabricate all kinds of custom rails with metal structures. Our specialty is tailor made railings that are built in panels, in up to 20’ long sections.
Elbows, turn-outs, goosenecks and splices are carefully considered to ensure ease of shipment and installation. These railing systems are designed for strength and beauty. Most of our rails are steel, but we also make rails out of aluminum or stainless steel. The rails can have vertical balusters, solid lines, stainless steel cables, decorative spindles or they can receive panels of glass.
Our cable rail systems feature custom swaged threaded rod terminals that are cut to length for each railing panel. We typically provide the cables in their natural stainless steel look (#316 marine grade stainless steel), but we can also provide them with a blackened patina finish or even powder coat the cables a custom color.
We can powder coat railings nearly any color. Exterior rails typically feature stainless steel hardware and if they are steel, we powder coat them with a zinc rich primer that is bonded under your choice of top coat.
Some railing systems need a 42” high guard rail & a 36” high handrail (or grab rail). Other railing systems need only a handrail at 34” – 36” high from the nose of a tread.

What materials are used for custom railings?
We offer a variety of materials for our custom railings, including steel, stainless steel, and aluminum. These materials are chosen for their strength, durability, and aesthetic appeal. Steel is a great option for strength and versatility, while aluminum is lightweight and resistant to rust. Stainless steel is perfect for a sleek, modern look and is highly durable, making it ideal for both indoor and outdoor use.
Can I customize the design of my railing?
Yes, all of our railings are fully customizable to meet your design preferences. You can choose from a range of styles, including vertical balusters, decorative spindles, and glass panels. We also offer options for stainless steel cables or solid lines, giving you a broad range of designs to choose from to fit your space.
Are custom railings available in different colors?
Yes, we offer powder coating in nearly any color for your custom railings. This finish not only adds a personalized touch to your design but also enhances the durability of your railings, especially for outdoor use. Whether you want a bold color or a more neutral tone, we can create the perfect railing to match your vision.
Can custom railings be used outdoors?
Absolutely! Our custom railings are designed to withstand outdoor conditions. We use stainless steel hardware and apply a zinc-rich primer to the base coat, ensuring that your railing is rust-resistant and durable, even in harsh weather.
How tall should my custom railing be?
The height of the railing depends on your project. Typically, guard rails are set at 42” high, and handrails are 34” – 36” from the tread. We can adjust the height based on your needs or local building codes.
