A SUCCESSFUL RAIL REMODEL
Seattle Stair & Design thrives on the opportunity to
transform a space through design. We look forward to opportunities to help
people re-design their homes to match their aesthetic values. In this Mercer
Island home, the intent was to bring a lighter, more modern feel to the family
room. The entertainment center had previously been rebuilt and painted, and now
it was time to complete the effect with an upgrade to the stair and balcony
railing. We came up with a design that allowed us to use the structure that was
already in place. The home owner did the demolition of the old railing himself
– leaving the original newel posts intact – and painted all of the fascia,
stringer and newels before we installed the new balustrade. The new design is
inspired by our Context Design Line series. This railing consists of stock 5/8”
round stainless steel balusters and a custom red oak handrail in our Arc
handrail profile. The handrail will be stained by the home owner to match the
red oak treads on the stair.
What a remarkable change!
