Do you install aluminum railings as well as glass?

+

Yes. We offer modern glass systems and aluminum components/hardware depending on the design and project requirements.

How often should aluminum railings be cleaned?

+

At least once a year. Twice is better if they’re exposed to dust, salt, or heavy rain. Regular cleaning prevents corrosion and keeps them looking new.

Can aluminum railings be repainted?

+

Yes, but only with proper preparation and compatible coatings. Poor prep leads to peeling.

Why does my railing feel loose only in certain temperatures?

+

Thermal expansion can highlight existing looseness. Temperature doesn’t cause the problem, it reveals it.

Is oxidation a structural problem?

+

Surface oxidation is mostly cosmetic, but it can spread under finishes if ignored.

Should I re-seal base plates every year?

+

Inspect every year. Reseal only when sealant is cracked or pulling away.

Are squeaking noises normal?

+

Occasional sounds during temperature changes can be normal. Repeated squeaks under light pressure are not.

Can I replace fasteners myself?

+

Yes, if you use the correct material and size. If you’re unsure, don’t guess. Improper fasteners can cause damage or safety issues.

Can you help with custom projects (pool areas, terraces, unique layouts)?

+

Yes. We can design and install custom railing solutions for unique spaces such as terraces, pool areas, and architectural features. You can also view examples on our Custom Projects page.
