When faced with aluminum alloy guardrails and stainless steel guardrails, consumers are bound to be at a loss as to which one to choose. In fact, both types of guardrails have their own advantages and disadvantages. The key is still to start from one's own needs. Now, let's take a closer look at the differences between the two.
The structure of stainless steel guardrails is generally divided into main rods and posts. The main rods are also often referred to as the main pipes(For instance, the handrail area of the staircase guardrail is what we call the main pipe). The column can also be called the riser, which is used to support the main pipe. Through various polishing processes, modern industrialized decorative effects such as mirror-like, matte, and brushed surfaces are achieved. Moreover, stainless steel possesses excellent physical properties in cold working, hot working, and welding. High-end stainless steel guardrail components are made of stainless steel, featuring superior mechanical properties and excellent corrosion resistance. This ensures that the product has good resistance to horizontal loads, vertical loads, and soft heavy object impacts, guaranteeing the safety of building usage. Stainless steel railing posts are vertical components fixed to the building structure, used to support handrails and fix glass panels, metal plates, steel rods, steel cables or metal meshes. They are the main load-bearing components of the guardrail. Stainless steel guardrail posts are widely used in the balconies, staircases, landscape enclosures, and passage isolation of buildings. The main varieties include stainless steel posts for glass guardrails, stainless steel posts for pole guardrails, stainless steel posts for glass partitions, and posts of other structural shapes.
Aluminum alloy guardrails are one of the materials for indoor guardrails. Aluminum alloy is renowned for its unique advantage of "not rusting" and has gradually become widely used in various construction projects. The balcony is a place where children often play, so the safety of the guardrail is particularly important. After the surface of the aluminum alloy guardrail is treated with powder coating, it will not rust, will not cause light pollution and can remain as good as new for a long time;The new technology of interlocking and welding is adopted between the pipes, making it safer. Light in weight and impact-resistant(The aircraft are all made of aluminium alloy materials);Aluminum alloy guardrails have become the main promoted products in construction abroad, and in China, the usage of this product has also been increasing year by year.
