Ornamental Railing on Brownstone Entry Steps
Project Overview
Ornamental scroll railing installed down the stone entry steps of a cream clapboard home with a statue at the landing and autumn landscaping.
Analysis
The steps are tall with a narrow tread, so the rail had to be fabricated to a steeper pitch while keeping a decorative panel in the field.
Process
Measure, fabricate to the stair pitch, finish, install in one day, and detail the returns.
Outcome
A decorative railing that gives the tall entry a finished, traditional look.
Project Details
Materials Used
Steel posts and rails with cast scroll panels and decorative balusters, satin black finish, base plates and anchors into the stone.
Methods & Techniques
Posts anchored at the nosings and landing, panel sized to the steep run, plates sealed into the stone.
Key Highlights
Steep-pitch fabrication, cast scroll panels, stone-safe anchoring, satin black finish
