Handrails are essential for the safety of any elevated space or staircase. But that doesn’t mean you’re stuck with an unattractive eye sore in your home or business. With the right design, a handrail can become the most interesting and attractive feature in any space. There are three things you’ll want to take into consideration when choosing or designing your handrail. 1. Material Choosing the right material for your handrail affects both the functionality and look of the space. You can either match existing material or choose a different medium to accentuate it. You’ll want to pick material that is durable and easy to maintain. Generally the choices are wood, stainless steel, aluminum, glass, and cables. 2. Shape The shape of your handrail should be tailored to the needs of the household or business but can also include design elements to achieve the look you desire. All handrails should follow local safety codes but there is room for adjustment for those that may need a bit more gripability. 3. Color and Design This is the fun part. Color and design are largely for aesthetic reasons. There are a host of options available that will look good in any space. Your personal or business tastes should be factored into the process to achieve the look you’re after. More simple, minimalist designs look great in a smaller home or office while custom handrails really elevate any space they’re in. Our talented team at Strother Fabrication is well-versed in custom metal fabrication and handrail design. We’ll work with you to pick the perfect material, shape, color and design for your home, office, or commercial property to enhance both its appearance and safety.

Tips to prepare your deck or patio for the Fall season.
Your deck or patio can be your most used living space during the warmer months. But if your outdoor room is going largely unused, it’s time to make a change. Here are some things you can do to make it more inviting for family members and friends to spend time in. 1. Outdoor Furniture Comfortable seating is a must for any living space. Whether it’s a dining area, an outdoor sectional, or a set of hammock chairs, having a cozy place to relax in can make a world of difference. It’s also another way you can add your own personal style to the space. Outdoor furniture comes in a variety of colors and styles to fit any budget. Or repurpose your old furniture with new cushions and cozy pillows. 2. Accessorize Once you’ve got a comfortable seating area, it’s time to add more personal touches. Cushy decorative pillows add both comfort and a design element. Add a coordinating outdoor rug to enhance the “room” effect and provide cushion for bare feet to walk on. A colorful umbrella can provide both shade and décor if you have the space for it. 3. Plants Plants make any space more inviting. Place colorful potted plants or hanging plants around your deck or patio during the warm seasons for both color and ambiance. 4. Lights Hang lights from your pergola or trellis for an enchanted look that will invite more evening activities in your outdoor space. If you don’t have a pergola or trellis to hang them from, give us a call for a free estimate and we’ll help you design the perfect one to accent your deck or patio. 5. Custom Sunshade or Privacy Screen A privacy screen or custom sunshade can really upgrade your space with a unique design element. With many options to choose from, you can be sure to get a look that will compliment your outdoor living area while keeping you cool and increasing your privacy. If you need help figuring out just what you can do to make the most of your space, or if you’re ready to upgrade to a new deck or patio you’ll love spending time on, give us a call for a free consultation!
