Why Choose Cable Railings?
A cable railing system is an excellent choice for many reasons, including:
- Beauty: Cable railings are the least visually disruptive railing systems, even over glass railings. We use high-quality woods and metal in a wide range of colors and finishes to best match your space. We make other design choices that ensure your railing system looks as elegant or as rustic as you’re imagining.
- Durability: Our cable railing systems will never sag, warp or buckle and so they also never become an eyesore. Beyond a occasionally washing your railing system, they’re as low maintenance as it gets. When you choose a railing system from us, you’re making a long-term investment.
- Security: Safety is likely your first concern for your property. We feel the same; that’s why we install railing systems that meet or exceed safety standards. You can have real peace of mind that your railing offers everyone in your space security.
- Flexibility: Our railings are perfect for handrailing, pool fencing, and a wide variety of applications. Customize your system with unique handrail, baluster, fasteners, and post caps.
Sorry, we do not offer glass railing system, picket fencing, or infill options other than cable.
Frequently Asked Questions
Rooftop Railings
Space is at a premium in San Francisco, so more people are turning their rooftops into living spaces, restaurant patios, micro-green farms, and yoga studios. There’s something glorious about looking out over San Francisco, and we want to help you maximize that feeling. At Bay Area Cable Railing, we can design a railing that gives you more space, security, and beauty on your rooftop.
- Space: We can mount your cable railing posts directly to the fascia of your roof. The fascia is a wooden board on the edge of the roof. It is attached to the roof truss and sits just behind your gutters. By mounting your posts here, we free up more of your square footage on the real rooftop. Plus, fascia-mounting is secure and doesn’t compromise safety.
- Security: Our cable railing systems are designed and installed to the highest safety standards. We typically use marine-grade stainless steel cable that, while thin, can hold 15,000 pounds. We also add extra-large corner and end posts for support. Before we design your rail, we’ll discuss your safety needs in-depth, and you can be sure we won’t cut corners on your security.
- Beauty: We use such high-quality materials that we can install thin cable that won’t distract from your view. Cables are actually the least visually obstruct material. Unlike glass, they don’t cause reflections and glare.
