Stainless Steel Staircase Railing
HERITAGE ORNAMENTALS presents Stainless Steel Modular Railing
Systems for commercial & residential architectural railing
applications on the interior & exterior.
Stainless Steel is available in a choice of Grade 304 and Grade
316 for harsh caustic exterior environments. Many unique values
such as eliminating the need for external coatings, corrosion
resistance & self-healing when damaged, provided by stainless
steel make it a powerful candidate in materials selection. The
higher initial cost of stainless steel is well worth over the
total life of the project, stainless is often the best value
option
Stainless steel is 100% recyclable. In fact, an average
stainless steel object is composed of about 60% recycled
material, 25% originating from end-of-life products and 35%
coming from manufacturing processes.
There are different types of stainless steels: when nickel is
added, for instance, the austenite structure of iron is
stabilized. This crystal structure makes such steels
non-magnetic and less brittle at low temperatures. For greater
hardness and strength, carbon is added. When subjected to
adequate heat treatment, these steels are used as razor blades,
cutlery, tools, etc.
