The fences are designed to ensure the safety of overpass or stairs. Moreover, for the stairs, not only the presence of railings, but also the absence of large distances between the elements is important – this fact is the most important if there are small children in the house.
Most often, modern railings are made of stainless steel. Such a fence for the street is especially relevant – it is not afraid of precipitation, temperature drops and has high corrosion resistance. The railing of stainless steel, the price of which is currently low, are mounted on finished floors and steps after masking work, they protect the areas of supermarkets and shopping centers, stairs of the offices. Due to the lack of the need to use the welding machine in the installation process, the customer may independently install such elements.
In rooms equipped with stairs with wooden steps, lined with marble or granite, in many cases such railings are installed, in the racks of which stainless steel is combined with acrylic. For handrails of such railings, PVC polymer or stainless pipe is used. In the case when the structure is made of wood or concrete with wood lining, components for stainless steel stairs are combined with wooden elements.
In some cases, it is possible to install a fence made of glass, but it will be very expensive. Complexes made of glass, which give the fences a special sophistication and unique charm can be installed on the designs of various types. Such luxurious elements are often installed on screw structures, balconies, balustrades and terraces. Handrails can be not only straight, but also prayed (curved). The railing of this species are the plate fixed between metal racks. In some situations, glass fences are performed by self -awakening – there is no stand in them, and the handrail is installed on the upper edge of the glass. But this option is only allowed when it is provided for by the design project.
In combination with stainless steel, glass is usually used, having a thickness of 12 to 20 millimeters. In this case, the use of a large number of racks for the elements of the fence is not required, the result of which is a decrease in the weight of the structure. Non -mocking the fence space make the interior exclusive and unique, and also ensure perfect security.
Despite the fact that the vast majority of fences are made according to individual projects, these designs can be divided into three types. The first include elements with horizontal filling. The second type is characterized by vertical filling and increased amount of balusters. Components made of hardened glass – triplex – belong to the third type.
The railing intended for balconies and ramps is somewhat different from each other. In addition, there are non -standard types of fences – they are used as handrails in medical and children’s institutions, to protect against vandalism. But all types of fences have one indisputable advantage – they perfectly meet all safety and comfort requirements.
The railing is not just a decorative element, which is a decoration of any interior, their main function is to ensure security. Therefore, their design should not only fit into the interior, but, first of all, ensure the safety of people.
