Handrail & Railing Fabrication in Garland
Safe, Code-Compliant Railings for Every Space
Stairs, decks, and balconies require railings that do more than prevent falls—they must meet specific height, spacing, and load requirements while complementing architectural style. Whether you're updating a residential porch or installing ADA-compliant commercial handrails, precision fabrication ensures compliance and durability across Garland's varied building types.
Shen Co Metal Works fabricates interior and exterior railings in steel, aluminum, and wrought iron, with custom designs, patterns, and finishes to match your property. The shop also handles installation and repair of all railing systems, from simple handrails to ornate balustrades. ADA-compliant handrails must extend 12 inches beyond the top and bottom of stair runs and maintain a diameter between 1.25 and 2 inches.
Each railing system undergoes load testing to verify it can withstand required forces—typically 200 pounds applied in any direction. You meet inspection standards and gain railings that remain secure under daily use and weather exposure throughout Garland's seasonal extremes.
How Garland Properties Shape Railing Decisions
Garland's housing stock ranges from mid-century single-story homes to modern multi-level builds, each with distinct railing needs tied to elevation changes and outdoor living spaces. Decks overlooking backyard gardens require corrosion-resistant materials, while interior stairs in commercial buildings demand finishes that withstand high traffic and frequent cleaning.
Summer heat intensifies UV exposure, causing untreated metals to fade and powder coatings to chalk over time. Powder-coated railings with UV inhibitors retain color and gloss 80 percent longer than standard coatings in direct sunlight. You avoid premature refinishing when fabrication incorporates climate-appropriate surface treatments from the start.
For properties near Firewheel Town Center or along Lake Ray Hubbard, the team coordinates railing installation with deck builders, general contractors, and municipal inspectors to ensure code compliance at every step. Steel railings receive galvanized or powder-coated finishes, aluminum systems stay maintenance-free, and wrought iron gets forged details that echo Garland's architectural heritage.
