Stainless steel is an excellent material for balcony railing designs. It’s rust and corrosion resistant, making it a great choice for both indoor and outdoor applications. It’s also versatile in that the material can be used in a range of railing designs. From glass railings supported with metal posts to cable railing systems and perforated panels, stainless steel offers a modern aesthetic that is highly durable.
Modern steel railing design for balconies also offer nearly unlimited options for customization that complement modern and contemporary designs and even offer a modern twist in traditional spaces. For a safe and aesthetic balcony, look no further than stainless steel.
A Great View without Compromising Safety

The best steel railing design for a balcony will meet the needs of the space. In the case of the Royse City ISD Events Center, the balcony needed to provide exceptional safety on the elevated viewing area without obstructing the view of the events below. The CIRCATM Glass Railing System did just that. The simple design is perfect because it doesn’t detract from the real action out on the field and track. People can see what’s happening whether they’re sitting or standing which creates more opportunities for everyone to participate.
Durable and Long-Lasting
In moist environments, choosing the right materials is crucial to achieving durability and long-lasting performance. Outdoors applications expose balcony railings to wind, water, sun, snow, and ice, but steel railing designs for balconies are able to stand up to the harsh realities of weather events and everyday exposure.
The CIRCATM Multiline Railing System used at the Hickory Riverwalk - Rosales Bridge provides a stable barrier between the bridge and the water while allowing for beautiful views to take center stage. This system is ideal for both commercial and residential applications where the system can be installed on a deck or balcony.
Ideal for Public Spaces

Creating any type of public space comes with numerous considerations for choosing the right materials. Steel railing designs for balconies blend safety and style and have a high level of durability that allow them to stand up to constant use. At Publix #0621, the CIRCATM Stainless Steel Railing System extends from the staircase and wraps around to protect the edge of the balcony. It offers a low-maintenance solution to a high traffic area.
Safety Where It’s Needed Most
If you’ve ever been around teenagers, you know that they can be hard on things. That’s why Spring Branch ISD Memorial High School chose our BLADE® Perf Metal Panel Railing System with perforated infill panels along with our FSRTM Free Standing Rail System. These durable railing systems create a contemporary design while offering the durability and strength needed when teenagers are involved.
A Range of Material Options

Metal is a beautiful and modern material, but sometimes designs need a touch of the traditional. Integrating wood into a metal railing design can create warmth and offer the feel of a natural material as people use the railing. VIVA Railings offer Red Oak, Cherry, or Maple wood railing options. The Benbrook Municipal Complex is a great example of how the modern CIRCATM Multiline Railing System can be complemented by a beautiful tile floor and wood railings to create a cohesive and interesting design.
Fully Customizable

While we offer a wide range of ways to customize our prefabricated systems, some designs require a bit more customization to fully meet the needs of the space. This was the case with Texas Live!, a facility that includes restaurants, a concert arena, an interior food court, and an outdoor event pavilion.
Almost 2,000 linear feet of our custom-designed railing system was needed to bring this vision to reality. Rectangular top rails, an integrated drink ledge, and curved configuration create a railing system that allows for interaction and protection.
