What railing and guardrail systems do you install?
Crews install straight runs, switchback layouts, curved sections, and fully custom railing and guardrail systems to match your building’s layout. Each system is designed to meet required elevations, safety standards, and egress requirements for your project.
How are railings and guardrails anchored to the structure?
Anchoring methods include welded connections to structural steel, bolted plates secured to concrete slabs, and embedded anchors cast into foundations. Crews follow approved engineering details to ensure proper load transfer and code compliance for Fredericksburg buildings.
Can you replace existing railings and guardrails during renovations?
Yes, replacement work includes removing existing systems, preparing anchor points, and installing new railings and guardrails that meet current building codes. Crews coordinate with occupants and facility managers to minimize disruption during active operations.
Metal components can be left in a mill finish for field painting, galvanized for enhanced corrosion resistance, or shop-primed for architectural coatings. Railings and guardrails may also include powder-coated finishes or stainless steel components, depending on your project’s specifications and environment.
