The Benefits of Aluminum Railings
Custom aluminum railings are a popular choice for residential and business properties because they offer several benefits, including:
Aluminum is a durable material with high resistance to corrosion, rust, and weathering. It can last for many years without deteriorating, even in harsh environments.
Aluminum railings require minimal maintenance. Unlike materials like wood, they don’t need to be stained, painted, or sealed to maintain their appearance and structural integrity.
Aluminum is a versatile material that can be easily customized to suit a wide range of design preferences. It can be fabricated into various shapes, styles, and finishes, enabling a high degree of customization.
Aluminum railings can be designed to enhance the overall aesthetic of a property. They can be sleek, modern, and minimalist, or they can be ornate and decorative, depending on your desired look.
Railings serve an important safety function, especially in elevated areas. Custom aluminum railings provide a sturdy barrier to prevent accidents and provide peace of mind.
Aluminum is strong and durable, yet surprisingly lightweight. This makes it easier to handle during installation and transportation.
Aluminum is a recyclable material, which means that it can be repurposed and reused, reducing environmental impact. Additionally, the production of aluminum is energy-efficient compared to some other materials.
Aluminum is a cost-effective choice over time because of its long-term benefits, including reduced maintenance and longevity.
Aluminum is a non-combustible material, which means it does not contribute to the spread of fires. This is an important safety feature for both residential and commercial properties.
Unlike wood, aluminum is not susceptible to damage from pests like termites or other insects, which can be a concern in some regions.

Interior Aluminum Railings
Interior railings include protective barriers or balustrades that are installed along indoor stairways, balconies, or mezzanines. They prevent accidental falls while adding a decorative touch to the interior design of your property.
Exterior Aluminum Railings
Exterior railings are installed in outdoor spaces and serve as a protective barrier against falls, particularly in elevated areas. Even better, they also contribute to the curb appeal of your building.
Customize Your Railings
When designing custom aluminum railings, understanding the technical aspects of the material can ensure that you make an informed decision. Here’s a closer look at the key specifications of aluminum railings:
Our railings are crafted from high-quality aluminum alloys, such as 6061 and 6063. These grades are known for their excellent strength-to-weight ratio and resistance to corrosion.
To ensure longevity and maintain aesthetic appeal, our aluminum railings come with various coatings and finishes. Options include:
- Powder Coating: Provides a durable, UV-resistant finish available in a wide range of colors. It protects against scratching, chipping, and fading.
- Anodizing: An electrochemical process that enhances corrosion resistance and provides a sleek, metallic finish. This option is ideal for areas with high exposure to moisture.
Our railings are available in a variety of dimensions to meet your specific needs:
- Height: Standard heights range from 36 to 42 inches, customizable based on local building codes and personal preferences.
- Thickness: Railing components are designed with thicknesses ranging from 1.5 to 2.5 inches, ensuring durability while maintaining a lightweight profile.
Designed to meet or exceed industry standards for load-bearing capacity, our aluminum railings can support significant weight, which ensures safety and reliability. Load capacities are tested to comply with local building codes and regulations.
What Do Property Owners Say About Our Aluminum Railings?
"Excellent service from Juan Vargas and his team. The railings we ordered are beautifully made, exactly as we wanted. We like the alternating straight and twisted spindles. The installation team came to our home on time and did a thorough job. Our front steps are now more attractive and safer than they were before. Pricing was very competitive with other proposals. I recommend Capitol.” - Jeffrey M.
"Excellent work. We chose aluminum cable railing and they fit perfectly with our wood outdoor steps. There was some issues with pipes but they found a solution and installed them quickly. I would definitely recommend and use Capital Iron Solutions again." - Mariela Y.
