One of the easiest ways to install metal railings in your home is by selecting a modular railing system. The difference between a custom railing and a modular railing is the separation of the components into modules for installation on site. DIY railing systems are almost always made up of modular components (posts, top rails, infill, hardware). Deck railings and level rail scenarios are often easier to modulate than stairways or interior railing sections; mainly because of angles. However, with accurate measurements and selection of the right railing system, even interior metal railings can be easy to install. Modular Cable Railing Systems A modular cable railing system can be one of the easiest ways to DIY of all the modern railing system choices. Cable railing posts come pre drilled and pre cut; for both fascia mounted and surface mounted applications. Stainless steel cable assemblies feature “tool less” fittings that are plug and play. A variety of top railing choices like wood, composite, steel and stainless steel can be cut on site for easy installation. Metal railings like cable railings are super durable, corrosion resistant, and easy to ship. Horizontal Slat Fencing and Railings A horizontal slat fence can offer privacy and safety while utilizing some of the same modular components that make metal railings such an easy choice. With a few simple hardware tweaks or welded tabs, multi purpose railing posts can be used to attach cedar or hardwood horizontal slats for a modern look. San Diego Cable Railings can modulate an entire horizontal slat fence or railing system and ship nationwide. A hybrid package can be fabricated customers interested in a partial privacy screen and viewing window for a large yard like the example photograph. (photo above) Easy to Install Modular Glass Railing Systems Even glass railings can be easy to install with a modular approach. Pre made posts and versatile glass clips can be combined to secure glass panels with impressive aesthetics. Posts and clip systems secure tempered panels with a clamping mechanism. There are hundreds of powder coat colors available for these modular railing components and glass panels can be etched, tinted, laminated or left clear for maximum visibility. There are few more attractive options in the modular railing world than modern railings like glass and stainless cable. The durability and lifespans are unmatched by traditional railings and high end homeowners nationwide have been choosing these systems for decades.
