Bluestone Entry Steps Handrails
Project Overview
Matched handrails on a bluestone-and-fieldstone front entry, designed to frame the door without visually competing with the stonework.
Analysis
The stone was the feature, so we used a simple square-picket pattern in satin black to complement rather than compete.
Process
Site measure, fabricate, one-day install, final clean.
Outcome
A clean safety upgrade that photographs beautifully and passes inspection.
Project Details
Materials Used
6063-T6 aluminum, satin black powder coat, core-drilled flange bases, stainless lag bolts.
Methods & Techniques
Core-drill through bluestone treads, set with epoxy, plumb posts with laser, seal at stone contact.
Key Highlights
Through-stone post mount, pair-matched handrails, no visible fasteners.
