Ornamental Aluminum Railings on Brick Entry
Project Overview
Decorative ornamental-style aluminum railings installed on a masonry porch with a stacked-stone base, pairing traditional scrollwork with modern aluminum durability.
Analysis
The homeowner needed to replace aging wrought iron that had rusted where it met the stone cap. We specified aluminum with a scroll-panel insert to keep the classic look while eliminating corrosion.
Process
Site measure, shop fabrication, powder coat, delivery, installation in one day, final punch.
Outcome
The family gained a corrosion-proof railing with the ornamental character of traditional wrought iron and no maintenance headaches.
