Stair Railing in Fenelon Falls

A stair railing isn't just decoration. It’s a critical safety feature you use every day. In Fenelon Falls, we see too many wobbly or poorly installed railings. We focus on one thing: building and installing indoor railings that are solid, secure, and built from quality materials. Whether you prefer the classic feel of oak or the clean lines of metal, we make sure it's anchored correctly and ready for daily life. It’s about doing the job right so you don't have to worry about it.

Choosing the Right Railing Material

When it comes to indoor stair railings, your choice of material dictates the look, feel, and long-term durability. We don't mess around with flimsy options. We stick to what works and what lasts.

Wood Railings: Classic and strong. We typically use oak or maple because they stand up to wear and tear. A solid wood handrail feels substantial and secure. It can be stained or painted to match your floors or trim, making it a versatile choice for any home style, from a cottage on the water to a house in town. The key is proper installation – securely anchored into the framing, not just the drywall.

Metal Railings: For a more modern or industrial look, metal is a great option. We work with wrought iron and steel spindles (or balusters). They offer a lot of strength in a slim profile, which can make a staircase feel more open. Metal is extremely durable and requires very little maintenance over its lifetime. We often combine metal spindles with a solid wood handrail for a look that's both modern and comfortable to the touch.

Installation and Safety Codes

The most important part of any railing project is the installation. An expensive railing is useless if it's not installed correctly. We follow Ontario Building Code requirements for height, spindle spacing, and structural support. This isn't just about passing an inspection; it's about making sure your family is safe. We anchor every post securely to the stair structure, ensuring there's no wobble or give. Your staircase should be one of the most solid parts of your home, and we make sure the railing is too.
