FAQ Schema
Q: How much does a cable railing system cost?
A: Cable railing costs vary by project complexity, typically ranging from $150-400 per linear foot installed. Factors include post spacing, cable count, hardware grade, and installation complexity. DIY kits start around $100 per linear foot. Request a quote for accurate pricing based on your specific requirements.
Q: Can I install cable railing myself?
A: Yes, cable railing can be a DIY project with proper planning and tools. You'll need basic construction skills, appropriate tools (drill, level, crimping tools), and understanding of local building codes. We provide detailed installation guides and technical support. For complex or high-elevation projects, consider professional installation.
Q: How do I maintain cable railing systems?
A: Stainless steel cable railings require minimal maintenance. Clean periodically with mild soap and water. In coastal areas, rinse monthly with fresh water to remove salt deposits. Check cable tension annually and adjust as needed. Inspect connections and hardware for wear or corrosion.
Q: What's the difference between 1x19 and 7x7 cable for railings?
A: 1x19 cable is stiffer and maintains tension better, ideal for long spans and architectural applications. 7x7 cable is more flexible, easier to handle during installation, and better for curved or complex geometries. Both meet structural requirements when properly tensioned.
