Which railing must be used for a balcony?
There are many types of balcony railings: iron, aluminum, wood, PVC and vinyl, glass, concrete, and stainless steel.
Stainless Balcony Railings
Stainless balcony railings are the most common. Stainless steel and aluminum are the main materials for handrails, due to their lightness and simplicity for design and installation. These materials are resistant to corrosion, temperature changes, and weather conditions, and are perfect for outdoor installation.
Vinyl and PVC Balcony Railings
Vinyl and PVC railings can often be confused with one another, but the truth is that these two materials are not the same. Vinyl is radical ethane that refers to many different ethylene-based compounds and PVC is polyvinyl chloride and a polymer of vinyl chloride. PVC is a type of vinyl and is one of the most popular construction materials on the market. PVC stands for polyvinyl chloride and is relatively inexpensive.
Glass is also very popular today for Juliet balconies.
Choosing the right railing design and material can completely change the look of your balcony, transforming a boring balcony into a modern, comfortable space.
