Custon Stair Railings at Half the Cost
It's hard to beat the look of custom-installed stair railings, especially if your staircase is a focal point in your house, leading right up from the main entry or living room/great room. As you know if you've priced these things, custom railings, balustrades, and similar architectural features can be pretty expensive. I found a company that can give you the look of custom work at a more affordable price though.
Cardine Studios has an ironwork panel and baluster railing system with many designs (there are more than 8 pages of pictures up on their site). The panels can be fitted to your new or existing staircase, whether it's curved or straight, with open or closed stringers. The pieces are still hand-forged, but they don't need to be installed by a pro, which obviously cuts down on costs. You simply order the "easy to install" panels, which are hand-finished with antique black or natural wax, and hire a local contractor to do the installation.
