Frequently asked questions
Can you make complete railings from square bar?
Yes. We fabricate and install railings in steel, stainless steel, aluminum and wrought iron. See our stairs and railings service.
Is square bar the same as square tube?
No. Square bar is solid, while square tube is hollow. Bar is heavier and stronger for its size; tube is lighter and more economical for frames.
