Horizontal Bar Railings
Modern Metal Floating Stair with Round Bar Railing
The client for a modern cube home chose horizontal round bar railings for the interior and exterior of their new home. The railings wrap the multilevel stairs and balconies on the interior. For the exterior, the same railing style continues across the rooftop deck, covered porch, and stairs. The modern metal railings have a minimalist appearance. The posts are mounted below the flooring to hide the hardware, resulting in a streamlined appearance. The lines of the railings beautifully complement the modernist architecture of the home. These railings are made of powder-coated steel with white oak top rails.
Flat Bar Railing on Modern Floating Stairs
Refined and rustic, this project remodel was a labor of love for our clients. The objective was to take a tightly closed stairwell and give it a larger, spacious, open feel. To accomplish this, the closed stairwell was removed and replaced with a floating mono-stringer stair with a metal flat bar railing. The unique design features a railing with horizontal flat bars and double bar end posts. The top rail and stair treads are antique white oak, creating a space with a rustic yet refined style.
Vertical Bar Railings
Round Bar Railing aka Pencil Rod Railing
Careful engineering and clever solutions were required to achieve the simplicity and clean lines of this modern stair railing. The spindle hardware is concealed beneath the floor to create an uncluttered appearance. The railing and wood top rail flow seamlessly and elegantly like a ribbon ascending from floor to floor. Uniquely designed to achieve rigidity and a slender floating appearance. The stair stringer and spindles are made of powder-coated steel with a white oak top rail and treads.
Round Bar Spindle Railing and Double Stringer Floating Stairs
For this project, our client on Nantucket imagined a floating stair that would serve as an artistic centerpiece. In addition, they wanted to minimize obstructions to the window views. So, they opted for a double stringer design where the stringers are mostly concealed in the treads with only the black standoff visible. Paired with a sleek vertical spindle railing and finished in “Raven Texture Black” powder coat. Crafted from white oak, the wood treads and handrail add warmth and elegance.
Sleek Spindle Railing with Cantilevered Stair, White Oak Treads, and LED lighting
We designed a metal spindle railing that attaches to the stair treads and floors, and then we topped it with a continuous oak handrail. The handrail waterfalls down the front of the railing to tie into the floor. Moreover, hidden within the wall and treads is a concealed steel structure that provides the necessary strength for the floating design, while maintaining a clean, minimalist aesthetic. To complete the design, concealed LED lighting beneath each tread casts a warm glow along the staircase.
