Isn't a Railing just a Railing?
When you walk up and down your stairs, most likely you have a railing on one or both sides that your hand holds on to, in order to steady yourself as you walk on the stairs (which is great for people like myself who suffer from an unsteady depth perception from time to time!). But I bet you don't think about all that goes into the railing that you hold on to, or the different parts that make up the railing, or even what kind of railing system you have! Because a railing is just a railing, right?
Of course not! Like most all things out there, this piece of your stair that you don't normally think about is way more complicated than you would ever think. Over the next couple of posts, I'll explain all the different aspects, nuances, and parts that go into a railing system. But for now, just to get a feel for the complicated nature of railing systems, take a look at this diagram.

So, It's Been a While...
Wow - How does time fly so fast?? I can't believe that the last time I posted anything here was back in March - and it is now firmly the middle of June. Incredible.
But maybe that is what happens when you become really busy! Which is a good thing!
We've had a lot of great successes recently at Signature WoodCrafters - lots of kitchen recrafting, stair recrafting, and railing replacements going on. The staff have been busy with lots of new customers and consumers, which is a welcome respite from the past couple of months.
But all that being said, we'll be getting back to regular posts about our products and services shortly, as well as sharing some of the before and after pictures of our successes! I'm looking forward to communicating with everyone again and hope to provide some useful information to all who have questions about our products and services.
If you have any questions that you would like answers to, please leave a comment!
