Are you looking to completely elevate the curb appeal of your home this summer? 🏡✨ It’s time to look past the landscaping and focus on the architectural details that really make a house stand out from the street!

Your exterior front steps and backyard patios deserve so much more than a generic, wobbly aluminum fence. We are seeing incredible demand for heavy, custom-welded wrought iron railings that perfectly frame your front door, and stunning, totally invisible glass railings mounted on heavy metal spigots to keep your backyard views completely clear! 🌳🔩

We just put together a massive design guide showing off real photos of our exterior installations. You can see how aggressive, modern horizontal steel lines can make a concrete entryway look absolutely spectacular, and learn how we powder-coat all of our ironwork to ensure it easily survives Calgary's crazy winter weather! ❄️☀️

There is a massive difference between mass-produced stair components and true architectural metalcraft. When a design calls for sweeping, continuous steel balustrades, those elements often have to be welded and assembled directly on-site inside the home.

The engineering challenge? You can't unbolt a fully welded, 20-foot curved steel handrail, carry it out the front door, and bake it in a powder-coating oven.

To achieve a flawless, factory-grade finish on raw, site-welded steel, our teams rely on the precise physics of electrostatic deposition. This isn't standard painting—it involves generating a 60,000-volt charge to magnetically bond high-performance polyurethane directly to the steel.

But the real secret to a seamless finish isn't just the high-voltage technology; it's the strict environmental engineering required beforehand. Enforcing a rigid 24-hour "no trades" exclusion zone isn't just a preference—it is a physical necessity to ensure that airborne construction dust isn't electrostatically pulled into the wet finish.

We just published a comprehensive technical guide breaking down the material science, metallurgical preparation, and atmospheric control required to execute these complex installations flawlessly.

If you are involved in luxury home construction, architectural design, or simply appreciate legacy-grade ex*****on in the field, this is a must-read look under the hood. 👇
