At RWAP, we use only high-quality materials that meet industry standards in Sydney and nearby cities. Among the popular options are stainless steel and aluminium due to their durability and ease of cleaning. Once the material has been chosen, the next step is to determine the dimensions of the stair handrail.
You can rest assured that RWAP’s seasoned handrail fabricators will craft your stair handrails with the utmost care and attention to detail, ensuring that they are of premium quality, whether made from stainless steel or aluminium such as Balustrades.
Choosing between stainless steel handrail and aluminium handrails depends on several factors such as budget, durability, maintenance, and aesthetics. Here’s a comparison to help you decide:
Durability: Stainless steel handrail is generally more durable and resistant to corrosion compared to aluminium. It’s particularly suitable for outdoor applications where it’s exposed to harsh weather conditions. However, high-quality aluminium alloys can also offer good durability, especially if they are coated or anodized for added protection.
Maintenance: Stainless steel handrail requires minimal maintenance as it is resistant to rust and corrosion. Occasional cleaning with soap and water is usually sufficient to keep it looking good. On the other hand, aluminium handrails may require more frequent cleaning and maintenance to prevent corrosion, especially in areas with high humidity or salt exposure.
Cost: Aluminium handrails are typically more affordable than stainless steel handrails. If budget is a primary concern, aluminium may be the better option. However, stainless steel handrails can be considered a long-term investment due to their durability and minimal maintenance requirements such as the Aluminium Louvre.
Aesthetics: Both stainless steel handrails and aluminium handrails offer sleek and modern aesthetics. Stainless steel handrail has a timeless appeal and can complement various architectural styles. Aluminium handrails are available in a wide range of colours and finishes, making them versatile in terms of design options.
Environmental Considerations: Aluminum fencing is more environmentally friendly than stainless steel as it is highly recyclable. It requires less energy to recycle aluminium compared to producing new aluminium from raw materials. If sustainability is a priority for you, aluminium may be the preferred choice.
Weight: Aluminium is lighter than stainless steel handrail, making it easier to handle and install. This can be advantageous in situations where weight is a concern, such as in elevated or rooftop installations.
In summary, both stainless steel handrails and aluminium handrails have their advantages and considerations. Stainless steel handrail is durable, low-maintenance, and offers timeless aesthetics but tends to be more expensive. Aluminium is more affordable, lightweight, and recyclable, but may require more maintenance and is not as inherently durable as stainless steel. Ultimately, the best choice depends on your specific needs, preferences, and budget.
