What clients expect and what drives business growth in this category
Railing installation on decks, porches, and staircases follows IRC section R312 requiring guards at least 36 inches high (42 inches on decks 30 feet or more above grade) with balusters spaced so a 4-inch sphere cannot pass through. Cable railing uses 3/16-inch 1x19 stainless cable tensioned to 150 lbs and run through aluminum or wood posts; glass panel railings use 1/2-inch tempered or 3/8-inch laminated glass in aluminum channel frames.
Clients need railings that meet code, are structurally sound at the 200-lb concentrated load requirement, and match the home's aesthetic.
