When it comes to designing and constructing multifamily and hospitality spaces, every detail matters. From structural integrity to aesthetic appeal, some of the choices you make can significantly impact the final result.
One decision is selecting the right railing material. While steel has been a traditional choice in many areas of the US, aluminum is emerging as a superior alternative for commercial contractors and architects across the country. Join us as we delve into the key reasons why you should choose aluminum railing for your next multifamily or hospitality project.
Longevity
One of the primary advantages of aluminum railing is its exceptional durability and longevity. Unlike steel, aluminum does not rust or corrode when exposed to the elements. Fairway has decades of experience crafting custom architectural railing that is resistant to rust, making our aluminum railing the perfect choice for outdoor installations, where they will be subjected to rain, snow, and humidity.
Low Maintenance
Maintenance costs can add up over time, especially in multifamily and hospitality projects with extensive railing systems. Aluminum railings require minimal maintenance compared to steel. Our AAMA 2605 coatings help seal color, while also making the railing resistant to corrosion and chalking. You won’t need to invest in regular painting or rust removal, saving both time and money.
A simple occasional cleaning is usually sufficient to keep aluminum railings looking their best.
Easy to Install
Aluminum is significantly lighter than steel, making it easier to transport and install. Our railings are all custom built for each project, so the installation process simple and efficient should you choose to install. Alternatively, we offer installation services in several regions of the country which makes your project even more hassle-free.
Customization and Aesthetics
Our aluminum railings are stylish and safe, while also offering a wide range of customization options to suit your project’s aesthetics.
Whether your design calls for sleek and modern lines or a more traditional look, aluminum can be customized to fit your vision. You can choose from various top rails, colors, and infills to complement the overall design of your multifamily project. With our custom waterjet system, we can assist in the installation and design of a custom design for your project.
Steel railing typically doesn’t offer the same flexibility and customization capabilities as aluminum railing.
