Horizontal Railings

Horizontal Railings: Custom Aluminum Railing Solutions Built in Calgary Since 2006

Your railing does more than keep you safe. It sets the tone for your whole outdoor space. Republic Railings has been serving Alberta and British Columbia since 2006, and today we're proud to bring that same craftsmanship home, focusing our expertise locally within Calgary. If you're after clean lines and a sturdy build, powder-coated aluminum railing is tough to beat. Our 42" tall, 1 1/2" wide horizontal railings pair modern style with real durability, priced per linear foot at $130.00.

Locally Owned, Trade Focused, Built on Experience

We're not a big box supplier. Republic Railings is a locally owned and operated business, and we manufacture and install every piece ourselves. Since 2006, our work has ranged from high-rise apartments and large commercial developments right down to single-family residential homes. That range means we've seen just about every railing challenge there is, and we bring that experience to every Calgary project now.

We also work hand in hand with local trades. If you're a builder, contractor, or fencing pro in the Calgary area, we're set up to support your projects with reliable aluminum guard rails, privacy walls, and custom aluminum railing solutions on your timeline.

Why Choose Powder-Coated Aluminum Railing?

Wood warps. Iron rusts. Plastic fades. Powder-coated aluminum railing just keeps going. The powder coating process bonds a tough finish to every rail, so you get colour that won't chip, peel, or bleach out in the sun. Rain, snow, Alberta winters, none of it stands a chance against this stuff.

Homeowners and builders alike pick aluminum because it's light but strong. It won't sag over time as wood does, and there's no sanding or staining every spring either. Just wipe it down once in a while, and you're good to go.

What Makes Horizontal Railings Different?

Horizontal railings give your deck, balcony, or high-rise unit a sleek, modern look. Instead of the classic vertical baluster style, the bars run side to side, creating an open, airy feel that still meets safety codes. At 42" tall, they're built to standard height requirements, and the 1 1/2" width strikes a solid balance between strength and a streamlined appearance. This style works great for contemporary single-family homes, but it also holds up beautifully on commercial builds and high-rise balconies where clean sightlines matter.

Are Horizontal Railings Safe for Homes with Kids or Pets?

Yes, when built to code. Our horizontal railings are spaced to meet standard residential safety guidelines, so little hands and paws stay where they should. Building codes can vary by municipality, so always check local requirements before installation. Our team is happy to walk homeowners and contractors through what applies to their specific Calgary project.

Custom Aluminum Railing Solutions for Every Project Type

No two projects are exactly alike, whether it's a single-family deck or a large commercial development. That's why Republic Railings offers custom aluminum railing solutions tailored to your space, your style, and your budget. From small balconies to sprawling high-rise developments, we size and finish every run to fit.

Our custom railing solutions go beyond horizontal styles, too. We manufacture aluminum guard rails and privacy walls for residential, commercial, and multi-unit projects across Calgary. Tell us the vision, and we'll help bring it to life with railings built to last.

How Much Does a Horizontal Aluminum Railing Cost?

Our horizontal railings run $130.00 per linear foot. That price gets you the full 42" tall, 1 1/2" wide horizontal railing system with powder coated aluminum railing finish included. Total cost depends on how many linear feet your project needs, so measuring your space first gives you a clear budget picture, whether you're a homeowner planning one deck or a contractor pricing out a multi-unit job.

Built to Handle Alberta and BC Weather

Let's be real, prairie winters and coastal moisture are both tough on materials. Between freeze-thaw cycles, road salt, and everything else the weather throws around, your railing needs to hold up. Powder-coated aluminum railing shrugs off moisture and won't corrode the way steel or iron can over the years. After nearly two decades serving Alberta and BC, we've built our railings to handle exactly this kind of climate.

What's the Difference Between Powder Coating and Paint?

Paint sits on top of a surface and wears away over time. Powder coating is different. It's applied as a dry powder, then baked on, so it forms a hard, even layer that bonds right to the metal. That means better resistance to scratches, fading, and chipping. So when you choose powder-coated aluminum railing, you're getting a finish that's built to last, not just look good on install day.

Style Options That Fit Your Space

Horizontal railings come in a range of colours to match your home or building's exterior, whether you're going for classic black, sleek bronze, or something more custom. Since every rail is powder-coated aluminum railing, the finish stays consistent from top to bottom, no patchy spots or uneven tone.

We also help figure out spacing, mounting style, and post placement so the final product fits your deck, balcony, or commercial space perfectly. That's the beauty of custom aluminum railing solutions: everything is planned around your actual project, not a generic template.
