A successful Railing Installation begins with engineering, not assembly. Therefore, we start every project with a detailed site assessment and structural review. This phase determines load paths, substrate strength, and compliance with Canadian building code requirements.
Current Canadian standards require a guard system to resist a concentrated load of 1.0 kN applied in any direction at the top rail. Consequently, structural capacity becomes the primary concern for architects, builders, and installers alike. We verify that the supporting structure can safely transfer these forces before proceeding.
