Benefits of Using Stainless Steel in Cable Railings

When considering cable railings for your home or commercial space, stainless steel cables are an exceptional choice. These cables offer numerous benefits that enhance your railing system’s functionality, durability, and aesthetics. As a leading manufacturer, Vista Railing Systems understands the importance of providing high-quality products that meet functional and design needs. That is why we have gathered information about the benefits of using stainless steel in cable railings.

 

What you should know before installing cable railings?

1. Durability and Strength

Stainless steel cables are renowned for their strength and durability. They are resistant to corrosion, rust, and wear, making them ideal for indoor and outdoor use. Unlike cables made from other materials that may degrade over time due to exposure to the elements, stainless steel cables maintain their integrity and appearance for years. This durability ensures that your cable railings remain safe and reliable, requiring minimal maintenance and reducing long-term costs.

2. Aesthetic Appeal

One of the standout features of stainless-steel cables is their sleek and modern appearance. They provide a clean, minimalist look that complements contemporary architectural designs. When paired with aluminum posts and rails, stainless steel cables create an elegant and streamlined railing system. This combination not only enhances the visual appeal of your space but also allows for unobstructed views, making it perfect for decks, balconies, and staircases.

3. Low Maintenance

Stainless steel cables are incredibly low maintenance, a significant advantage for busy homeowners and business owners. Unlike wood or other materials that require regular staining, painting, or sealing, stainless steel cables need only occasional cleaning to remove dirt and grime. This ease of maintenance ensures that your cable railing system remains attractive and functional without requiring extensive upkeep. Unlike glass panel railing, stainless-steel cable does not fog up on those early mornings when you want to enjoy your hot morning coffee and take in your lakefront view.

4. Versatility in Design

Stainless steel cables are highly versatile and can be used in various design applications. Whether you want a modern, industrial look or a sleek, contemporary aesthetic, stainless steel cables can be easily integrated into your design vision. Their flexibility allows them to be used in different configurations and styles, offering endless possibilities for customization. This versatility makes stainless steel cables a popular choice for architects and designers.

5. Safety and Security

Safety is a paramount concern regarding railings. Stainless steel cables provide a strong, secure barrier that prevents accidental falls without obstructing the view. The high tensile strength of stainless-steel cables ensures they can support significant weight and pressure, providing homeowners and property managers peace of mind. It is important to check and ensure your stainless-steel cable railing has been tested, engineered, and installed by a professional familiar with the product.

We love working with the Vista Team! HF Smith Lumber in Cookstown, Ontario has been a proud stocking dealer since day one, carrying their four top colours. Vista’s quoting program is super easy to use and saves us a ton of time. The sales team is fantastic – always friendly, quick to help, and great to work with! We also love seeing the new products they continue to add. It’s exciting to expand our offerings and keep things fresh for our customers! Keep up the great work

I purchase many different types of items in the building industry and have been at all levels from putting away lumber, customer service management and purchasing at wholesale level. The Vista railing company by far has been the best company to deal with in my entire 41 years in the industry. It’s just unbelievable the support and quality they produce from all levels — from manufacturing, pulling the product, design team and of course the sales support. Railing is a very difficult item for some yards to sell due to the complexity, but Vista makes it real easy with the least complicated quoting system, the Vista planner.
Thank you Team Vista for all you do for me and the industry!!
