Albany Railings

Albany Railings

The Albany Vertical Bar railings are fabricated from round circular hollow section (CHS) posts and solid vertical infill bars along with flat bar horizontal rails, which is completed by a machined top decorative rail head (finial). They are compliant with the current British Standard, which is covered in BS1722 part 9. The Albany Vertical Bar Railing is manufactured bespoke and makes an ideal secure boundary fence at heights of up to 2 metres. Alternatively, lower height railings can be manufactured to be wall mounted into diamond cored holes or base plated to surface of brickwork. They are galvanised to BS EN ISO 1461 as standard and can be finished in a polyester powder coated colour of your choice.
