Exterior Railings

Exterior railings must satisfy safety codes while contributing to architectural character. Morgik manufactures custom exterior railings in steel, steel, and stainless steel – designed for porches, balconies, terraces, and exterior stairs throughout the Northeast.

Every installation is fabricated in our Paterson, New Jersey facility to site specific measurements and code requirements.

Exterior Railing Applications

Porch Railings – Front porch and wrap-around porch railings in styles from Victorian to contemporary.
Balcony Railings – Residential and commercial balcony guards at any height or exposure.
Terrace Railings – Rooftop terrace and outdoor living space perimeters.
Stair Railings – Exterior stair handrails and guards for entries, gardens, and building access.
Deck Railings – Custom metalwork for wood and composite deck installations.

Design Options

Traditional Profiles – Scrollwork, castings, and forged elements for period-appropriate installations.
Contemporary Lines – Clean geometric patterns and minimal profiles for modern architecture.
Transitional Designs – Restrained traditional elements updated for current sensibilities.
Custom Patterns – Original designs developed for specific architectural contexts.

Code Compliance

Exterior railings must meet building codes for:

Height – Minimum heights based on application and fall distance.
Baluster Spacing – Maximum openings to prevent child entrapment.
Graspability – Handrail profiles suitable for emergency grip.
Load Resistance – Structural capacity for required forces.

We design and engineer railings to satisfy applicable codes for your jurisdiction.

Material Selection

Wrought Iron & Steel – Traditional choice for most applications. Hand-forged options available.
Stainless Steel – Required for coastal, poolside, and high-corrosion environments.
Aluminum – Lightweight option where appropriate.

Exterior Finishes

Exterior metalwork requires finishes engineered for weather exposure:

Powder Coating – Factory-applied baked finish with excellent durability.
Galvanizing – Hot-dip zinc coating for maximum corrosion protection.
Paint Systems – Multi-coat exterior paint for specific color requirements.
