Frequently Asked Questions About Railing
Do I always need a railing for my deck or balcony?
Yes — most municipalities require a guard rail when the walking surface is more than about 24–30 inches above grade. Installation of a proper railing system ensures safety, code-compliance and peace of mind.
What height and spacing requirements do railings need to meet?
Typical residential code mandates a minimum railing height of about 36 inches for decks, and 42 inches for commercial or multi-unit applications. Baluster openings are often limited so that a 4-inch diameter sphere cannot pass through — this prevents small children getting trapped.
What materials work best for railings in Vancouver’s climate?
Durability is key. Powder-coated aluminium and tempered glass perform well under coastal salt air, rain and UV exposure. Many problems (rust, peeling, warped wood) stem from inferior materials or lack of weather adaptation. Choosing weather-resistant materials upfront saves on maintenance and extends lifespan.
How much maintenance does a glass or aluminium railing require?
Relatively little if properly fabricated and installed. The main tasks are cleaning glass surfaces, checking fixings/posts, and inspecting fasteners for corrosion. Avoiding wood means you skip painting, staining or warping issues. Proper design and finishes reduce upkeep significantly.
Can I install a railing system myself to save money?
While DIY may be appealing, railing installation requires precise adherence to structural loads, anchoring, code compliance and waterproofing — especially in heavy-rain, coastal conditions. Mistakes (loose posts, incorrect fasteners, improper anchoring) can compromise safety. Hiring a professional railing system ensures quality, warranty coverage and fewer long-term risks.
