How To Choose The Ideal Railing For My Staircase
Railings are an integral part of any staircase—they should compliment the style and design of the overall staircase aesthetically, while providing strong functional support. The style of railing you choose should be heavily influenced by the style of staircase you are looking to incorporate into your home, of course; however, the customization options available at Royal Oak enables our clients to pick and choose from a limitless range of possibilities, making sure that each portion of the staircase and railing is the perfect fit for their home. Railings give the staircase a visual presence and completes the overall visual aesthetic of a stair system—it can be argued that the railing is the flourish and spark to the more functional role of the stairs. With over 25 years of experience in designing, manufacturing and installing customized railings for Burlington, Oakville and Mississauga homes, we are confident that we’ll be able to find the perfect fit for you.
Ideal type of customized railings
When it comes to selecting the ideal type of customized railings for Burlington, Oakville or Mississauga homes, factors such as the current style of the household should be considered—do you want the railings and stairs to fit into the existing theme, or provide a sharp contrast and stand out? Are there commonly used textures, materials and styles within the house that can be replicated on the railings? For example, if the house currently has lots of fine wooden textures and curved elements, perhaps the staircase would be best fitted with a similar design element in order for it to be truly incorporated into the household. Likewise, the staircase can be used to contrast the existing elements that threaten to overwhelm, and restore a sense of balance to the home. Regardless of the final decision, how the railings and stairs contribute to the overall design of the household should always be considered.
The functional aspects must also be considered when choosing the right railing style for your staircase and home. While there are restrictions on how staircases and railings need to be structured in order to meet safety regulations (how many consecutive steps on the straight staircase, the minimum height of the railing, etc.), there is still a lot of variables that can be adjusted in order to maximum the functional benefits of a proper railing. Proper railings should aesthetically compliment the staircase and house, while making sure that the stairs and easy and safe to use for everyone.

Types Of Railings
Wood Railings
Wood railings create a beautiful, rustic aesthetic that is hard to achieve with other types of materials. Wood has been used for railings for many centuries, and it's still in style. At Royal Oak, we craft railings with a wide variety of timber to ensure that you get the right railings for your staircase in terms of color, usage, and durability.
Timber is a strong and resistant material, and this makes it a perfect option for heavy-duty structures. Wood railings will serve you for many years, and you will not have to replace them often. They allow you to alter your staircase into the design and style that you like. You can modify the railings' shade to suit your home's décor.
Wood railings are easy to clean and maintain. Your staircase will be prone to spillages and dirt, especially if you have children and pets. You can mop and brush the spilled liquids and dirty marks from your railings with relative ease. If you end up with a persistent stain, you can sand or varnish the railing to give it a brand new look.
Wood brings a feeling of the outdoors to the inside of your home or office, giving it a natural-looking design. If you want to add a touch of tradition to your home or office, wood railings would be the perfect way to achieve this. There is something about wood that brings out an authentic natural look in a living space. With our vast wood railings variety, you will get the perfect railings that suit your needs.
Metal Railings
If you are yet to decide on the best railing for your staircase, you can never go wrong with metal. Metal railings offer a wide range of benefits compared to other railings materials. With railings, strength is a top priority. Choosing a strong material for your railings is important if you want a secure staircase. Metal railings are tough and will withstand intense pressure.
When you have many people using the staircase, you have to clean the railings frequently to prevent germs or diseases. Metal railings are easy to clean and maintain. You can use a wide range of cleaning products and disinfectants to clean metal railings without damaging them. You can scrub the metal railings to remove stubborn stains without damaging the metal surface.
Metal railings are easy to install on different and unique staircase designs. You can bend and shape the railings into the desired shape, and install them even on the most complex and unique staircases, including spiral staircases, due to their malleability.
At Royal Oak Railing and Stair in Burlington, we have been constructing metal railings for many years, and you can be sure that we are familiar with all railings designs. We have mastered and tried the different railings types and can attest that metal railings are among the best.
Glass Railings
Glass railings can transform your staircase and add a modern and pleasant look to your space. Glass railings are commonly referred to as invisible railings because they do not block the view or prevent proper light penetration. The main benefit of glass railings is their low maintenance costs. Unlike other materials, glass does not require regular staining, treating, painting, or finishing to maintain its beauty or enhance its durability. The only maintenance that glass railings require is regular cleaning with soap and water.
Glass railings are also highly customizable. You can go for frosted glass railings if privacy is your primary objective, or you can also choose transparent glass. Glass works well with other materials and will blend in well with metal or wooden accessories. Glass railings are easy to assemble and install for both a new staircase and a staircase upgrade. Our glass railings are perfectly manufactured and offer excellent durability.
If you want eco-friendly materials for your living space, glass railings are an ideal option. Glass is a chemically inert and recyclable material that does not emit harmful substances due to corrosion. Our glass railings are made out of thick tempered glass, therefore, it is unlikely that the glass will break or crack upon encountering normal stressors. If you are looking for durable and low-maintenance railings, our glass railings will not disappoint.
When to Replace Your Existing Railings
Replacing your worn out and outdated stairs is a great way of upgrading your home or office interior aspect. When most people think about upgrading their homes or offices, they focus on other areas and neglect the stairs. However, the staircase is a focal point in your home or office that will catch the eye of many people who see it. Stair railings are prone to wear and tear and require replacement, especially if they are loose and weak. You may also replace outdated railings with new and stylish ones to give your living space a modern look. Worn-out stairs are a safety hazard and may cause severe injuries to you or other family members. By replacing your existing railings, you will rest assured that they will not give way when subjected to pressure.
