Frequently Asked Questions

  • We fabricate railings in stainless steel (304 and 316), mild steel, corten, and aluminum, and offer glass infill panels (tempered or laminated) for contemporary designs. Material choice depends on location, exposure, and aesthetic intent.

  • Yes. All UAMW railing and guardrail systems are designed and fabricated to meet or exceed Ontario Building Code (OBC) requirements for height, load capacity, and baluster spacing.

  • A guardrail is a safety barrier required at elevated surfaces (like balconies, mezzanines, or open stair edges) to prevent falls, and must meet specific height and load requirements. A handrail is a graspable guide along a stair or ramp. UAMW designs both, often as integrated systems.

  • Yes. We can reverse-engineer or replicate existing railing profiles and finishes for heritage buildings, phased renovations, or additions where visual continuity is required.

  • UAMW offers both supply-only and supply-and-install options. Our installation crews operate across Toronto and the GTA and are experienced working on active residential and commercial construction sites.
