Mountain View Sun Decks makes decks and residential exterior railings for homes, apartments and rental properties across Calgary and Southern Alberta. We specialize in making aluminum railing products and wood railing products for your deck safety and privacy needs.
Our residential exterior railings are generally made from aluminum. They are lightweight, strong and durable and require zero maintenance. Aluminum railings are different from those made from iron or steel, as aluminum never rusts and requires little or no maintenance.
Mountain View Sun Decks custom fabricates all residential exterior railings to match the specific requests made by customers. These railings can withstand harsh weather conditions such as rain, snow, or storm without sustaining much damage. You can coat the railings with any colour of your choice to match the exterior of your home.
Why Are Residential Exterior Railings Are Considered So Important For your Safety?
Residential exterior railings are very attractive to look at and transform the appearance of your decks, stairways and ledges. They add style to your home, apartment, or building. But the main reason to have these railings is that they are important from the safety point of view. Let’s discuss how.
#1: If you have small children in the family, then you worry all the time about them falling from a deck or a ledge. Installing railings on the decks and ledges is important because it provides a critical barrier between the surface of the deck and the steep vertical drop beyond it. Building a railing means that you don’t have to worry about your child or a family pet falling over the deck and sustaining a serious injury. Similarly, you don’t have to worry about an inebriated guest or family member taking a tumble over the ledge – the railing acts as a protective barrier.
#2: People who have a phobia such as a fear of heights dread to venture within a foot or two of an edge. If you or a member of your family suffers from such a phobia, then the railings can make you feel much more comfortable. You can walk to the very edge of the balcony or deck without getting scared.
#3: The railing gives you the balance you need when you step out on the deck or on a platform. You don’t have to worry about falling down below if you were to have a misstep or two at the stairs or were to lose your balance because of muscle weakness. This is something that is known to occur frequently with the elderly or with those with disabilities. You can always cling to the railing for support in case you fear losing your balance.
#4: Railings provide the extra support, safety and security you need during harsh weather conditions such as rain, snow, ice and sleet, when the surface becomes slippery. The railing ensures that you don’t slip over the edge and offers protection to you and members of your family from a potentially dangerous situation.
#5: The railings give you the balance and support you need when you are climbing up the stairs or walking alongside the deck with a baby in hand. You can cling to the railing for support if you feel that you are in danger of losing your balance at any stage. Similarly, it supports you when you are carrying a suitcase, groceries or another type of heavy load.
