What Safety Standards Should Aluminum Railings Meet?
Architects, engineers, and project managers face strict building code requirements, especially when working on multi-residential and commercial buildings. Aluminum railings are a popular choice not only for their clean aesthetics but also for their strength, reliability, and compliance with safety regulations.
Code Compliance
Our architectural railing systems are engineered to meet key commercial safety codes and testing standards across Canada and the United States. This includes load requirements for guardrails, handrails, and infill panels, ensuring structural integrity in these commercial applications. Whether your project is in Canada or the US, our team stays up to date on national building codes, so you do not have to worry.
Strength and Durability You Can Rely On
Understanding the importance of choosing high-quality aluminum railings is essential for long-term safety and performance. Aluminum railings offer long-term durability with low maintenance, making them a safe choice for balconies, decks, and stairways. Our designs are tested to strict commercial codes for performance under stress and built to withstand heavy use, wind loads, and environmental exposure, without compromising visual appeal.
Glass and Picket Options that Prioritize Safety
Whether you are selecting picket railings for a traditional look or glass railings for a more modern feel, our systems are designed to ensure safety while enhancing the visual flow of a building. With custom panel sizes for your specific project, our railings provide peace of mind while complementing your architectural vision.

From pre-construction consultation to final installation, our in-house team supports every phase of the project.
