Custom Glass and Metal Stair Railings in Whitby
A great staircase deserves a great railing. We expertly install glass, cable, and metal Custom Stairs and Stairs Railings for homes across Whitby and the GTA. Every glass panel is CSA-certified tempered safety glass installed to Ontario Building Code standards.
Interior Stair Railings
Glass Custom Stairs and Stairs Railings are one of the most popular upgrades we do for Whitby homeowners. A frameless glass panel keeps sightlines open, makes your staircase feel bigger, and works in everything from Etobicoke semis to North York detached homes. We offer installation for spigot-mounted, standoff, and base shoe channel systems depending on your stair type and preference.
Deck and Exterior Stair Railing Systems
Exterior railings in Ontario must withstand freeze-thaw cycles, moisture, and UV exposure without corroding or warping. We install stainless steel, aluminum, and cable Custom Stairs and Stairs Railings built for Canadian weather and compliant with OBC guardrail requirements. No matter if you require a deck stair railing in Burlington, a front porch rail in Whitby, or a cable system in Oshawa, we fabricate and install to the local municipal code.
Lower Level Stair Railings
The Ontario Building Code requires a handrail on at least one side of any stairway with two or more risers. We install wall-mounted handrails, post-and-rail systems, and glass panel Custom Stairs and Stairs Railings for basement staircases across the GTA. If your basement renovation in Ajax, Pickering, or Oshawa includes a building permit, a code-compliant stair railing is almost always part of the scope.
Hardwood Custom Stairs
Add warmth and character to your home with a custom wood staircase. We work with hardwoods like oak, maple, and walnut, as well as engineered wood treads built for long-term stability. If you prefer a traditional closed riser look popular in North York family homes or a light open riser design like the ones we build throughout Markham and Richmond Hill, we handle design, fabrication, and installation from start to finish. We also refinish, restain, and resurface existing wood stairs for homeowners who want a refresh without a full replacement.
Solid Closed Riser Stairs
Solid back panels between each tread give closed riser Custom Stairs and Stairs Railings their classic, sturdy feel. A great pick for family homes where safety and tradition go hand in hand. Choose between two great styles: Closed Riser Closed Stringer Stairs are like the strong, silent type – solid all the way through for a classic, sturdy look. Closed Riser Open Stringer Stairs are a bit of a mix – they keep the solid steps for safety but have open sides for a modern twist.
Floating Riser Stair Designs
Open Riser Custom Stairs and Stairs Railings: Open spaces between the treads bring a modern, airy look that works really well paired with a glass stair railing. Frequently seen in contemporary homes across Vaughan, Mississauga, and downtown Whitby. Choose between two fabulous styles: Open Riser Closed Stringer Stairs are a balanced blend – they have the modern look of open risers with the solid feel of closed sides. It’s the best of both worlds! Open Riser Open Stringer Stairs are the ultimate in modern design – with both open risers and sides, they’re sleek, light, and oh-so-stylish.
