Small Scale Spectrum Cable Railing Project

Location: Upstate New York

Design Challenge(s):  These homeowners wanted to keep a minimalist feel to their railing system located in their living space.

Solution:  They chose to use the Spectrum System with 1/8” HandiSwage™ Studs and cable.  They opted for black surface mounted posts.  The beveled wood handrail was stained to match the flooring to tie in the whole railing system.  A dark stained wood handrail was attached to the post at the top of the stairs to assist with ascending and descending the stairs to the lower level.

Result: This is a perfect example of how a cable railing system can work on a small-scale project inside a residence.  It helps to keep the feel of the living space open and inviting while providing a safety barrier for the opening in the floor for the stairs.
