If you’re thinking about installing railings in your home or business, keep reading to find three tips to install them from our team!
1) Choose the suitable material: When choosing what type of material you want for your baluster railing system, many options are available. You can choose between timber (timber is one of the most popular choices), aluminum (aluminum is a terrific option as it is light and strong), steel balusters (steel balustrades are perfect for homes with children, pets, and people who have minor or mobility issues) or glass balusters.
2) Choose the right baluster: When choosing your balusters, you’ll want to consider many things. For example, do you need a baluster that is long and thin or short and fat? Do you want a baluster with an open-top or closed-off at both ends?.
3) How to Install balustrades:
- You’ll want to measure your balusters and staircase carefully.
- To install a baluster, push it into the bottom opening in the stair railing until you feel pressure on both sides of the baluster from each side of the railings.
- A good rule is to leave a gap of about one inch between each baluster.
It’s vital to get the balustrades for your home right so that they’re durable and look good too.
