Railings have come a long way since their beginnings, evolving from simple wooden barriers to sophisticated structures manufactured from a variety of materials. Let's explore how railings have transformed over the centuries, from ancient wood to modern materials.

1. Ancient Origins:

Early railings were likely made from wood, stone or other locally available materials. In ancient civilizations such as Egypt, Greece, and Mesopotamia, railings were primarily functional, serving to provide safety.

2. Industrial Revolution:

The Industrial Revolution brought about significant advancements in materials and manufacturing techniques, leading to the widespread use of wrought iron and cast iron for railings. These materials were not only strong and durable but also highly versatile, allowing for the creation of difficult designs.

3. Modern Materials:

In the 20th and 21st centuries, railings have continued to develop, with the introduction of new materials such as steel, aluminum, and glass. These materials offer greater strength, durability, and design flexibility, allowing for the creation of sleek, minimalist railings that complement modern architectural styles.

A typical railing is in the price range between 150 to 300 EUR per running meter if the standard height from floor is 1100 mm.
We provide an extensive railings catalog of models and specifications.
There are several things that affect the price.
1) Railings design;
For example, frameless glass railings with spigots are more affordable than frameless glass railings with 3kn/m.
2) Material of railings;
Stainless steel is more expensive than steel or aluminum, but aluminum and stainless steel are corrosion free in comparison with steel.
3) Technical specifications.
  • Height of the module or height from floor;
  • Length of the total amount of railings;
  • Glass thickness (if order includes a glass)
  • Type of glass (if order includes a glass)

To make the process faster, include your dimensions (length, type of mounting, height from floor or height of the module) and design preferences in your inquiry, and attach any *.dwg files or hand-drawings if available. We're here to help you find the perfect railing solution efficiently.
