Diagonal Pattern Aluminum Railing
Project Overview
Custom silver-gray aluminum railing built with a diagonal bar pattern and installed down the dark stone steps of a white clapboard home with blue-gray shutters.
Analysis
The homeowners wanted something other than standard pickets, so the infill was laid out on a repeating diagonal to create a herringbone effect while keeping bar spacing to code.
Process
Design approval, measure, fabrication, powder coat, one-day install.
Outcome
A one-of-a-kind railing that gives a plain clapboard entry a strong custom detail.
