Custom cable railings consist of railing frames, cable assemblies, colors and finishes that can require unique considerations to achieve a standard 36″ or 42″ railing requirement. While the term “custom” may be associated with difficulty, complexity, or even cost; custom cable railings can be made to be simple and easily modulated for DIY or professional installation by San Diego Cable Railings. Our custom cable railing kits can be modified to meet the needs of a variety of clientele and building challenges. The following list contains a few good examples of some common custom cable railing scenarios: Stair Railings- Cable railings for stairs commonly require angled mounting plates and off set perforations to properly accommodate unique building conditions that exist on these types of installations. Cable hardware for stairs is different than hardware for straight runs, and may require surface mounted cable fittings or angled washers. Wall Mounted Cable Railings- Cable railings mounted to angled or level pony walls, knee walls, or curbs may require modified post dimensions and mounting plates for proper attachment. Proper backing and the use of masonry anchors or stainless steel lag bolts may be necessary for these type of installations. Custom finishes and Specialty Coatings– One of the many benefits of purchasing from cable railing professionals is the ability to deviate from “cable in a bag” or “choose from 5 popular colors”. Large chain stores and online companies cannot customize cable assemblies or offer 100’s of colors and finishes. At San Diego Cable Railings we can mix and match materials and finishes, and design cable assemblies for even the most unique conditions. Do you have questions about custom cable railings?
