White Picket Railing on a Ledgestone Entry
Project Overview
White aluminum picket railings installed on both sides of the steps at a gray-blue sided colonial with a multicolour ledgestone entry surround and a bronze glass door.
Analysis
The stone entry is the feature, so a white rail was used to keep the frame bright and not compete with the stone colours.
Process
Measure, fabricate, powder coat, install in one day, and verify heights.
Outcome
A crisp white railing that matches the trim and keeps the ledgestone entry as the focal point.
