Spindle Shopping: How to Get the Rails You Want

Figuring out the right designs for your stairway is a very important part of any building project. While you can go with just a traditional steel stair railing, there are literally hundreds of different options that you can choose that will set your stairs apart from other railings that you have seen. When it comes to your stairs, fences, and other railing, getting the perfect look is often a matter of getting the perfect balance of style and function.

The Stairs Make the Room
Your stairs are such an important architectural part of your home. Whether you are looking for a new stair railing for indoor stairs that are part of your entryway, or you need a railing to go on stairs outside the home, the look you choose will say a lot about your style. It’s important to know what kinds of railings are available and explore all the options so you can pick the perfect look that complements your home style, and doesn't take away from it.

Other Railing Applications
In addition to stair railings, there are many other ways you can use spindles around your home. You might want to put a fence around your entire property, or have something that lines your front porch and entryway. You may have a railing that encircles a back porch, which can add a lot of visual detail and interest to your home and backyard, and improve your home's appeal when you decide to sell.

Spindle Choices
No matter what kind of railing you are building, you need to have the perfect steel spindles to complete the look. The great thing about railing options is that there is something for every style. If you have a more modern home, you can choose geometric shapes and basic styles that will allow the simplicity of the style to stand out. If you prefer a more classic look, there are a myriad of decorative options you can choose. You can find swirly styles, or go for something that has ornamental nature accents on it, such as leaves and flowers. You can also choose something besides just a straight up and down spindle, by going with a potbelly look. Wasatch Steel also has unique options that include more abstract designs, using hammers to create special patterns or twisting the spindles for a different appearance.

The length and width of the spindles will be determine by what you want the finished product to be like.
