This home on Lake Huron had a stone stairway that required a graspable handrail for the homeowner and their guests to feel secure when moving down the stairs from the stone patio to the stone deck around the pool. The homeowner preferred the style of wrought iron railing and contacted Great Lakes Metal Fabrication for our help on their metal railing project. We created this forged steel railing to meet the desires of the wrought iron railing look for the homeowner but with the strength and security of forged steel. The forged steel scrolls in the double top area on the landscape railing with the extended lamb’s tongue ends brought function to fashion to the project.

We went to the home to field measure their project and ensure our metal railing would be welded to fit the slope of their stairway. Our drafting department then created renderings for the client’s approval of their ideas and our plans. We also created shop drawings for the metal fabrication team to use while welding the steel railings. When everything was welded together, it was set for the powder coater. The zinc primer and the baked-on powder coat work against the weather and prevent rust. When the metal railings were finished and ready for install, we sent our installers out to secure them properly.

We offer many metal railing styles and options. We work with glass railing and cable railing options as well. We also offer to galvanize projects that are high traffic areas in the winter and will have salt applied regularly. As a second-generation business, we have a great deal of experience but are still eager to extend our concepts to reach a new apex. Contact Great Lakes Metal Fabrication for your metal stair and railing projects. If you can dream it, we will draw it and make it happen!
