In most cases, the minimum height is 42” for standard railings, 48” for pool fencing and 36” for stair railings. However, it is important the check local regulations and ensure that the railings comply with the minimum height required to ensure the safety of the users.

Glass railings offer a transparent, modern look, while stainless steel railings are known for their durability and resistance.

Aluminum railings are an outstanding choice due to their versatility and numerous advantages. Not only are they lightweight, durable and corrosion-resistant, they also offer good value for money. In addition, our prefabricated modules allow for easy handling on the building site, which ensures an efficient installation process.

It is important that they are mounted in a stable and sturdy manner to ensure their safety. 

When mounting a railing, there are several factors to consider ensuring a safe installation. These include selecting the correct corrosion protection class and material pairing, considering the load-bearing capacity, maintaining edge and anchor distance, selecting the appropriate mounting method and ensuring accessibility for maintenance and repair work. By considering these aspects, you can be assured the railing is mounted in a solid and sturdy way, to guarantee its safety.

These craftsmen have the necessary know-how to design and install railings professionally. It is advisable to hire a craftsman with experience in railing installation to ensure that the railing meets all required safety standards and is optimally suited for the installation situation.

What tube thickness is best suited for railings?

Generally, railing tubes with a thickness between 0.078” and 0.156” are used. For higher railings or those with increased safety requirements, a greater tube thickness may be required. It is important to consider the applicable building regulations and safety standards.

Railings made from stainless steel, glass and aluminum: variety in material and design

Stainless steel railings

Stainless steel is a popular choice for railings due to its outstanding features. It is a robust material that is both low-maintenance and long-lasting. It is also highly flexible in terms of its potential shapes and designs. Whether you are after a modern, minimalistic, or classic look, a stainless steel railing adds an elegant and timeless charm to every room and outdoor space.

Glass railings

Are you looking for high-quality glass railings for staircases, upper floors, terraces or balconies? Do you want a safe, easy-to-install railing made from glass that can also be curved in 2D or 3D? At Q-railing we have a wide variety of railing systems to choose from. We have glass railings available for every application – from small houses to international airports with the highest of safety requirements.

Aluminum railings

Aluminum railings are characterized by their easy installation and excellent price-performance ratio.

Railings for indoor and outdoor use: safety and aesthetics in all areas 

Whether for indoor or outdoor use, our extensive range of railing products offer a flexible solution for a wide variety of applications. The majority of our railings are suitable for both indoor and outdoor use.

When it comes to stainless steel, we recommend a basic guideline for material selection: Use 304 stainless steel for indoor use and 316 stainless steel for outdoor use. This ensures optimum resistance to the specific requirements of both environments. For customers near coastal areas or regions with salty air, we offer a special option: our products are also available in highly polished stainless steel, known as "Mirror Polished". This special surface treatment provides enhanced corrosion protection and ensures long-lasting beauty, even in the most demanding weather conditions.
