Modern Stair Railings

Do you envision modern railings and stair designs for your house?

These features can transform a space into something new, fresh and contemporary. If your home is 30 years old and still has the original wooden staircase and banisters, they've probably held up pretty well. The quality of those railings was impressive. Interior wood can last an amazingly long time. But as solid as they may be, they're probably outdated. By removing  your old staircase banisters and refreshing them with a minimalistic design or a horizontal metal railing, the entire look of your home can be drastically elevated with very little disruption to your daily activities (like a full home remodel can cause).

Do you live in Orange county or a neighboring area and wish to make your house look modern while keeping it safe? Want to move to a more minimalist staircase design that makes the whole room look more modern? Don't worry! At Orlando Custom Railings, we specialize in solutions to those problems. Our modern stair railings will provide a customized and contemporary look to your home or office, ensuring style and safety.

If you have steps in your home, modern stair rails are a vital component of that construction. It is crucial for building codes but also for the safety of your guests, friends, family members and yourself. Even though they're required, you do not have to forgo your taste in favor of a generic railing option. Modern stair handrails serve their practical purpose while enhancing the surrounding area's aesthetic and decor, which results in a dual benefit.

Lately, it has become popular for homeowners to match the color of their railings to their hardwood floors, or use a dark gray or black metal option. White and wood colored tones are still used but have become a less popular option in recent decades. Metal can be powder coated in any color as well as a variety of finishes such as matte, satin and gloss. Powder coating a metal can allow it to hold up for tens of years in exterior environments so when using this durable finish in an interior setting, it will practically protect your rails for a lifetime.

Types of Modern Stair Railings

Horizontal Railings

Stair railing should unquestionably match the aesthetic of a completely contemporary, minimalist area, which is perfectly accomplished with the horizontal railing. This stair railing option provides greater visual access and a feeling of openness and airiness. A stainless steel horizontal stair railing on stairs, landings, the excess runways along an upstairs hallway or open walkway that connects to the stairs can modernize a room rather easily. The use of metal in this kind of railing is most common although wood can be used too if that is your desire.

Although we customize each and every project, we can mix and match the horizontal railing to best suit your design style or the motif of a specific interior design. At Orlando Custom Railings, we are always honored to provide suggestions, but our valued client's style and specific requirements come first. Afterall, you are the end user each day. We believe in providing the best quality materials and designs per your desired modern stair railings plus excellent customer care.

Some benefits of horizontal railings:

• Very attractive layout with clean, modern lines and a less obstructed view. 
• A popular modification for those seeking an alternative to the standard vertical railing. 
• The potential for a minimalist aesthetic with significant contrast when mixing wood, aluminum, or steel components. 
• A secure and useful method for upgrading outdated railings.

Cable Railings

Besides metal horizontal railings, what are other varieties that can preserve your view without obstructing the scene? Another classy choice is cable railing. Do you want to decrease obstacles while enhancing the beauty of your house and adding a modern touch? The solution to this problem is cable railing, which allows your spaces and lighting to be viewed easily and cleanly. This option does away with heavy wooden balusters or pickets and replaces them with newer architectural components like thin wire combined with metal or wood posts. The wires are commonly made of galvanized  steel which is very resistant to corrosion. These systems, also referred to as wire rope railings, have become increasingly common in outdoor settings such as patios, decks and porches. Do you have a lovely outdoor space at your Windermere home that deserves to be gazed upon while you relax at dusk? Cable handrails offer all the same safety and protective features of traditional railings but the use of thin cables allow for much of the product to be nearly invisible.

A well-liked option for incorporating the modern minimalist style in home exteriors is cable railings. It is an alternative to conventional metal or wooden railing. It is the key to a hybrid custom look when coupled with wood. You can always experiment with your design by going black, dark brown or natural wood color for the posts which come in multiple materials. A fine choice for either interior or exterior use, cable rails in your Orlando property will certainly enhance the setting for years to come.

Benefits of cable railing include:

• A contemporary alternative to traditional wood railings.
• Cable is high grade industrial quality that will not sag or  degrade over time.
• The entire system is renowned for its toughness and ability to withstand extreme weather.
• Can enhance any home's charm and beauty with a simple, minimalist style.
• Perfect for achieving a modern, classy look that lends itself well to outdoor areas like decks and balconies but also clean enough to be used for an interior stair railing design.

Glass Railings

Why hide the best sights when you are paying for the views? One of the most widely used interior design concepts today are glass railings. They create a sense of openness, they offer a perceived ability to enlarge your living area and they put your view on full display. In place of conventional spindles or bars, the clean and open appearance of custom-designed premium glass railings and glass stairway railings give a modern and expansive aesthetic to help highlight the beauty of your home or patio. While a beach view is an obvious choice for glass railing systems, they also are commonly used along views of golf courses, scenic roads, balconies and wide open green spaces. We can see why it is a popular alternative to hardwood railings and spindles.

Some benefits of glass railings are:

• Enhances light flow, improves openness, makes rooms appear larger, and has a beautiful visual impact. Creates a luxurious environment.
• Cleaning and maintenance can be easier because there are not as many intricate spaces for dust and cobwebs to build up on when compared to some traditional hand rails.
• The railing can be entirely made of Glass, which is replaceable in pieces rather than having to replace an entire section of railing should a storm cause serious damage.
• Designed to endure extreme weather conditions.
• While this style tends to cost more than other options, glass panels can also be used for indoor railing installation which will give your home a clean, glamorous look.
