Exterior Metal Handrails FAQ1. What are exterior metal handrails? Exterior metal handrails are steel or metal railing systems installed alongside outdoor steps, porches, walkways, and entrances to provide safety, stability, and code compliance. 2. Why do metal handrails rust? Metal handrails rust because of exposure to moisture, rain, snow, and humidity. When protective paint or coating wears off, the steel underneath is exposed to oxygen and water, which causes corrosion. 3. What causes handrails to become loose? Handrails can loosen over time due to rusted mounting plates, deteriorated concrete around anchor bolts, shifting steps, or general wear and tear. 4. Can rusted handrails be repaired? Yes, rusted sections can often be repaired by cutting out the damaged metal, fabricating replacement pieces, and welding them securely back into place. 5. Why is cutting and rewelding sometimes necessary? When rust penetrates deeply into the metal, surface grinding is not enough. The weakened sections must be cut out completely and replaced with new steel to restore structural integrity. 6. Can handrails be repainted after repairs? Yes, after repairs are completed, the metal is cleaned, primed with a rust inhibiting primer, and repainted to protect against future corrosion. 7. Are exterior handrails required by code? In most areas, handrails are required for stairways with a certain number of risers to ensure safety and compliance with local building codes. 8. How can rust be prevented? Regular maintenance such as sanding minor rust spots, repainting when needed, sealing weld joints properly, and ensuring good drainage around mounting points helps extend the life of metal handrails. 9. Can severely damaged handrails be replaced entirely? Yes, if the railing is extensively corroded or structurally compromised, full replacement may be safer and more cost effective than repeated repairs. 10. How long do exterior metal handrails last? With proper installation, protective coatings, and routine maintenance, exterior metal handrails can last many years even in harsh weather conditions. |
