Stainless Steel Staircase Railings and Handrails

The appropriate stainless steel selection depends on the environment, finish requirements, railing structure and project specifications. The available systems include stainless steel structures and optional #316 marine-grade stainless-steel cable with custom-cut lengths and swaged threaded-rod terminals. Acadia Stairs can help coordinate the material, infill and finish configuration for interior, exterior, stair and balcony applications.

Yes. The railing systems are custom-designed for new or existing stairs and balconies. Acadia Stairs can review the staircase conditions, dimensions, preferred infill and finish to develop a suitable configuration. Available options include vertical balusters, solid lines, stainless-steel cable, decorative spindles and glass panels, subject to the project design and applicable building requirements.

Available infill configurations include vertical balusters, solid lines, stainless-steel cable, decorative spindles and glass panels. Cable systems use optional #316 marine-grade stainless-steel cable with custom swaged threaded-rod terminals. Glass railing systems can combine glass panels with metal balusters, while the selected configuration can be coordinated with the staircase design and project requirements.

Finish options include natural stainless-steel finishes, powder coating, blackened patina, clear coating, paint and hot-dip galvanizing across the available railing systems. Powder coating can support colour customisation, while natural stainless steel provides a distinct metal appearance. The suitable finish depends on the selected material, desired look, exposure and fabrication specification.

Panel-built railing sections can be fabricated in lengths up to 20 feet. Final dimensions remain custom-built and depend on the staircase, balcony, infill configuration, support conditions and design drawings. Acadia Stairs can coordinate project dimensions with architects, engineers or contractors and provide quote assistance for the proposed railing layout.

Commercial projects may require vertical balusters with less than 4-inch spacing, a 42-inch guard rail and a 34- to 36-inch handrail, depending on the system and applicable building regulations. Some commercial codes may also require a 12-inch level portion at the top and bottom of the stair. Requirements should be confirmed for the specific project.
