As with any finish selection you make in your home, there are usually so many options to consider that it can make you second guess yourself. Because we’re experts in custom stairway design, we’re going to break down your residential rod railing options.
There are many material and style selections available for rod railings and when you do it right, all of them can bring a beautiful new design element to your home. Let’s take a look at three of the most popular and customizable materials for this type of interior stairway railing.
Stainless Steel Rod Railings
Stainless steel is a popular choice for rod railings due to its durability, strength, and corrosion resistance. It offers a clean and modern look that complements various architectural styles.
Stainless steel rod railings are low-maintenance and require minimal upkeep, making them ideal for busy homeowners. They are also highly resistant to weathering, making them suitable for both indoor and outdoor applications.
Wrought Iron Rod Railings
Wrought iron rod railings exude timeless elegance and add a touch of sophistication to residential homes.
While known for their strength and longevity, wrought iron railings don’t have to be bulky and can feature intricate designs. They are also an excellent choice for indoor and outdoor designs.
The versatility of this material allows it to be customized to fit any architectural style, from classic to contemporary.
Mixed Material Rod Railings
Combining materials in your rod railing installation will allow you to fully customize your space
Stainless steel paired with wood handrails are one of our most popular combinations. This design allows for mostly unobstructed views while providing a warmer feel to the design.
Here is a pro tip for single material or mixed material applications: Think vertically and horizontally with your design. You can create a whole new aesthetic by running your railings horizontally instead of in the traditional vertical orientation.
