Unique Interior Wrought-Iron Railings By Our New Orleans Railing Contractors

Stair and balcony railings are generally unremarkable and quite bland. Interior railings are usually painted the same color as a nearby wall or made of simple, finished wood.

And while they do provide some measure of safety and stability for children or the elderly, that’s about it.

But what if your interior railing could add personality to your home?

If you’re looking for a unique, standout feature for your house, consider installing a wrought-iron railing. Our interior railings will enhance the look and feel of your home, adding personality, flair and elegance, all without breaking the bank.

Best of all, they’ll last for years to come. Our wide range of ready-made and custom interior rail options means there’s something for just about every budget and style, helping you to create a uniquely stylish look with ease.

About New Orleans Style Wrought Iron Railings

New Orleans is a city full of personality, art, and culture – and these qualities are quite often expressed in the unique interior designs found throughout homes in the city.

From Haitian art to French-style chandeliers, to bright colors and flashy embellishments, NOLA is home to a unique range of decor that stems from its diverse heritage.

Wrought Iron – interior railings and more!

One core element of New Orleans style is wrought iron. In the mid-1800s, wrought-iron styles became highly popular in both Spain and France, and from there made its way to the NOLA area. The beautiful craftsmanship displayed in New Orleans balconies and stairways survived for decades, and soon became a defining quality of our city. Wrought-iron railings boast our city’s deep, historical diversity and artistry.

Our affordable, elegant, and stylish ornamental interior railings can complement and bolster the aesthetic value and ambiance of your home, while also providing a long-lasting and durable alternative to wood and cheaper metal railings.

Benefits of wrought iron interior railings

Our wrought iron interior railings have many benefits for homeowners including:

• Customized options made to spec or tailored to your design aesthetic, including twists, florals, hearts, and more ornamental designs)
• Enhanced security and stability with the implementation of welded vs nailed joints. For example, if your child leans on your railing posts on a regular basis, a wrought-iron railing will last longer than a wood railing.
• Bring your home up to code (secure railings are required for stairs and balconies)
• Last for decades when properly cared for. While wood can chip away (and wood railing posts may become a teething magnet for pets and children), iron will retain its form and quality for years with simply a fresh coat of paint every 1-5 years.

Why wrought iron, and not some other metal?

There are many reasons (aside from local style) that we offer wrought-iron railings over railings made from other metals:

• Wrought-iron is softer than other metals such as cast iron, which makes the design and modeling process easier and also allow for superior customization. Yet, iron is also sturdier and has a longer lifespan than, say, aluminum.
• When finished, a wrought-iron railing is stronger than cast iron and built to last.
• Unlike an aluminum railing, which will almost certainly wear through or corrode in your lifetime, wrought iron railings can last many decades (if properly cared for, hundreds of years).

We believe wrought iron is the best option for providing a personal touch to your home without compromising quality.

About New Orleans

New Orleans is a city with unmatched cultural diversity and limitless energy. We’ve built our business here because we love living here – if you’ve just moved here, welcome! You’ve moved to an incredible city full of amazing people, history, entertainment and opportunity.

If you’re just getting settled in here, we recommend you stop by these local attractions to get to know the NOLA area a little better:

• City Park: This is our first recommendation for any new NOLA resident. City Park, at 1,300 acres, is larger than Central Park in New York. It’s a fantastic place for spotting local wildlife, from turtles to crocodiles; in addition, it boasts the world’s oldest collection of living oak trees. Talk with park staff for more information on the history of this area and the types of animals you can expect to see on your walks here!
• New Orleans Cemetery Tours: New Orleans has been the home to a number of famous and infamous people through history; many of them are interred in New Orleans cemeteries, and a cemetery tour can “introduce” you to them. Cemetery tours provide an opportunity to learn the stories of those who made New Orleans the city it is today.
• Frenchmen Street: If you’re looking for a way to experience the culture and energy of Bourbon Street (and you don’t want to elbow your way through crowds of tourists), Frenchmen Street is the place to go. It’s full of local restaurants, antique shops, artists, and more, without the crowds of visitors that fill Bourbon Street. Head to Frenchmen Street for a relaxed night of dining and shopping on the town – New Orleans style.
