The installation of a cable railing system requires structural and aesthetic considerations to ensure a safe and beautiful end result. At San Diego Cable Railings we have provided a wide variety of installations under all kinds of building conditions. We are capable of building with almost any material; whether it be soft woods, hardwoods, steel, aluminum, or stainless. We also offer structural + composite material combinations which incorporate wood or steel as the structural members, and composite materials for top railings and trim.
Although we have seen photographs and numerous marketing materials for composite cable railing installations; we DO NOT install stainless cable railing systems on composite posts, post sleeves, or composite railing kits. Stainless cable systems require structural materials that can withstand tremendous tensioning. At the present time and to the best of our knowledge composite materials have not been engineered to withstand tensioning or structural applications.
