When choosing a handrail or railing system for decks, stairs, Juliet balconies or regular walk-in balconies, the shape of the armrests can play a vital role in your choice.
The standard shapes are mostly circular sections with different diameters. Starting from 40mm, they can be comfortably fixed on the balustrade with a diameter of 55mm-70mm.
More interesting shapes are more complex, including elliptical shapes of different sizes and rectangles or squares.
The shape of the stainless steel handrails is very limited, and because of the need to squeeze or roll the extremely expensive tools that form these shapes, the market tends to follow the existing space that the architect can use to influence the shape of the handrail is very small. Many times architects choose stainless steel railing systems or stainless steel balconies and want to design a "special" shape for their project. They will soon find that this cost is inhibitory and in many cases impossible. .
However, aluminum handrails and railings are not the case. In fact, contrary to stainless steel railings, the ability of project architects to influence shape using aluminum railings makes these systems the preferred solution. In fact, in one of my recent projects, a project in Docklands, London, I found that companies that make glass balconies allowed architects to create three separate armrest shapes for three different areas of the project. One of the armrests is 120 mm wide.
There is also a surface called "Royal Chrome" that looks almost like stainless steel, but it is actually a special surface made of aluminum and still allows the flexibility of the shape allowed by the aluminum railing system.
In summary, stainless steel handrails are more limited in terms of the usability of the shape, and the aluminum handrail system allows for an inexhaustible number of shapes.
