We have seen a distinct increase in demand over the past few years for an alternative to standard wooden and composite railing systems. Besides being costly, composite systems are usually very plastic looking, and don’t carry the clean lines that you get from a hand crafted wood framed railing system. For our coastal and hilly landscape in San Diego, cable rail has been an excellent alternative, and carries a better price point than many of the most popular railing choices on the market. Our cable railing systems and components are made from 316 grade stainless steel, which is tailor made for withstanding marine environments and conditions. When properly installed and maintained, a Brazilian Hardwood or Aluminum framed cable system can last 50 + years. We believe that the look and feel that our cable systems provide, have the potential to modernize a remodel, or blend into an existing landscape. As seen in our photos, the cables are nearly invisible, and will reflect the surrounding landscape so well that sometimes they are difficult to photograph. Future blogs will compare and contrast different railing systems, cost factors, design, and building elements that we believe separate our railings from the competition. Thanks for visiting!
