SAFETY & STYLE
A Technical Component, Designed Down to the Last Detail.
A railing must be safe, solid and compliant with the standards; the handrail it wears is what the hand touches every time it climbs.We treat both with the same care as the structure: just the right proportions, discreet fixings, mastered finishes.
OUR RAILING TYPES
Four Families. One Standard of Craftsmanship.
MATERIALS & FINISHES
From Handrails to Fasteners.
A railing is decided by the pieces: what the hand grabs, what fills the in-between, and how the whole thing is fixed.These are the materials we work with regularly — combining them with each other, since everything is machined in the same workshop.
Infill Options
balusters of turned wood or straight, balusters of steel, tempered glass, stainless steel cable or vertical bars.It is the filling that decides the light that the staircase lets pass from one room to another.
Metal Finishes
Matte powder coated, black steel or brushed stainless steel: three finishes chosen because they resist the friction of hands and daily use, without leaving fingerprints.
Fasteners & Code Requirements
Stainless steel clamps, pads or recessed profile for glass; posts anchored in the stringer for wood and metal; height, spacing of the balusters and resistance: each railing complies with current standards, without sacrificing the line.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What Clients Ask About Railings.
railing, railing or handrail: what is the difference?
The railing is the set that prevents the fall: posts, filling and smooth top. The handrail is the only piece that the hand grasps when climbing; it can be carried by the posts or fixed directly to the wall. "railing" is the common word for the two together. railing and the interior stair railing.
What height and spacing does a railing need to respect in Quebec?
For a dwelling, the Quebec Building Code requires a railing when the elevation difference exceeds 600 mm. Its minimum height is 900 mm, measured vertically from the stair nosing, and no opening of the filling must allow a 100 mm sphere to pass through. The handrail is between 865 and 1070 mm above the stair nosing. These values are verified on the survey, before the machining.
Can I replace the railing without remaking the staircase?
Yes, in most cases: poles, filling and handrail can be removed without touching treads or risers. The stringers must be healthy and thick enough to take on the anchorage of the new poles — this is what is checked on the survey. renovation of stairs.
Glass, wrought iron, wood or cable: how to choose?
Le tempered glass keeps the light and the view — the choice of open spaces, at the cost of regular cleaning. wrought iron The black steel and the stainless steel give a fine line that matches the woods staineds. The balusters of turned wood remains the classic answer, accorded to the essence of the treads.The stainless steel cable and the vertical bars open the view without the complete transparency of the glass.
Can the handrail be mounted directly on the wall?
Yes — this is the solution for stairs that are enclosed between two walls, where there is no gap to protect. The handrail is then supported by steel or wooden supports screwed into the wall structure.As soon as one side of the flight is open, a full railing becomes necessary.
How much does a railing of custom staircase cost?
The amount depends on the number of posts, the length of handrail, the filling chosen and the layout — a half-turn requires fittings that a straight flight does not require.We quote on the survey, once the parts are stopped, rather than from a linear price per foot. Request a Quote.
What is the lead time for a railing manufactured and installed?
When installed with a new staircase, the railing follows the staircase schedule: 6 to 8 weeks between order and delivery, then 1 to 3 days of installation.For a replacement only, the time is confirmed on the statement according to the filling — the tempered glass being cut custom to the measured dimensions.
Where do you manufacture and install the railing?
Everything is machined to Our Workshopand then placed by our team on the South Shore — Longueuil, Brossard, Boucherville, Saint-Hubert, Chambly — and Montreal, to Sherbrooke and in Estrie. For the structure that receives them, see Our Staircase Types.
