Aluminum Railing Systems
Aluminum railing systems are composed of handrail profiles made from aluminum, and they can be glazed with glass or left unglazed based on preference. These systems are commonly used on balconies, in front of windows, on staircases, terraces, roofs, and poolside areas.
Compared to steel and chrome, aluminum is more affordable, lightweight, and highly durable. It is rust-resistant and long-lasting, making it a popular choice for railing systems. Aluminum railing profiles, excluding the glass, typically weigh no more than 1.5 kg per meter. Additionally, aluminum’s malleability allows for a broad range of design options, providing architectural aesthetics and flexibility.
When properly installed with quality workmanship, aluminum railing systems are 100% reliable and very easy to clean. Using a soft-bristle brush, a soft cloth, or a sponge with vinegar or simple cleaning agents will restore the aluminum railings to their original shine.
Aluminum railing systems come in a wide variety of models. Although we can group them into basic categories such as square and rectangular handrails, vertically arranged post profiles, horizontally arranged post profiles, glazed applications, and oval handrail designs, countless unique designs can be applied within each category. Additionally, a broad range of color options is available for the profiles and glass used in these railings. The most commonly used color is metallic gray (anodized finish), and in recent years, the modern-looking anthracite color has also become very popular.
The materials used in aluminum railing systems can be classified into three main categories: (1) fundamental metal components such as aluminum U-frame profiles and aluminum handrail profiles for ground-mounted systems, (2) the middle section comprising glass or post profiles, and (3) connecting elements and accessories such as anchor bolts, screws, and adhesives. Additional parts may also be required depending on the specific application. For instance, corner installations may need aluminum railing elbows, while side-mounted glass systems may require special side brackets and attachments.
