STAINLESS STEEL HANDRAIL

 What do you do now that your brand new stainless steel hand rail has been built and looks fantastic?       It's now time to make the stainless steel corrosion-resistant and thoroughly seal it to keep it looking       wonderful all year.

Steel is naturally corrosive, making it an excellent choice for railings. So, what makes 316 stainless steel superior than other stainless steels? Because of the greater molybdenum content, it is more resistant to pitting and corrosion. Pitting and corrosion are your stainless steel's worst enemies when it comes to keeping it gleaming.

Passivation is a corrosion-prevention finishing procedure that is generally suggested. The passivation process in stainless steel removes free iron from the surface by using nitric acid or citric acid. The chemical treatment creates a protective oxide layer that makes it less probable for air to react chemically and cause corrosion.

When compared to aluminum, steel is often the material of choice for railing systems because of its better strength and hardness. Steel has obvious aesthetic advantages over aluminum, whose protective oxidation covering turns white over time and pits occasionally. Aluminum is prone to surface scratches and dents due to its softness, making it difficult to clean and maintain.

Steel vs. Aluminum

Anodized or powder-coated aluminum railings provide enhanced corrosion resistance while requiring minimum maintenance. Aluminum alloy railings that are non-sparking and chemically resistant are appropriate for industrial applications like petrochemical plants and offshore oil rigs.

Steel handrails can be painted, however they will need to be stripped and repainted every few years due to rust, which is not only ugly but may also cause structural problems such as bent or broken posts. Steel is more expensive to transport and install than aluminum since it is significantly heavier. Aluminum railings are lighter and easier to work with, and they can be cut to size using a miter saw.

STAINLESS STEEL HANDRAIL Steel is one of the most popular materials for its extreme strength. It’s tougher than aluminium, wears better, and isn’t prone to dents. 304-grade stainless steel : Rust resistant with a bright, reflective gloss. It requires polishing and is prone to rust in coastal regions, but is a popular option for some styles of railing. Stainless steel rarely cracks, but in areas that endure frequent storms, it is possible after heavy use. 316-grade stainless steel : A whiter hued steel with extreme rust resistance but a high tarnish rate. Stainless steel railings have a higher upfront cost than some metals but provide superior long term value for money due to their strength and immunity to corrosion.

The two sides of the product is metal frame and the tread bottom is metal plate. we can cover the entire staircase with the desired quality wood. The wood is tightly screwed with the metal plate and then installing  the bend glass in both side of the handrail. To avoid friction with metal while using the bend glass, the friction free material EPDM gaskets are used to fix it. We can use either matte finish, glossy finish, rose gold or french gold stainless steel for covering the staircase. Eventhough it is costlier than the normal redaymade stairs, it has high durability and elegant look.  Up and down them several times a day, we don’t always see our useful staircases as a thing of beauty.
