Frequently Asked Questions


How can I add cable railing?

No, cable railing cannot be added in Ontario due to safety concerns. Cable railings, like horizontal guardrails, pose risks, especially for children, as they present a climbable “ladder effect” that may lead to falls and injuries. In Ontario, regulations likely prohibit the installation of cable railing to ensure safety standards are met. It’s advisable to explore alternative railing options that comply with safety regulations in Ontario. Contact us today to talk to professionals knowledgeable about local building codes and regulations is recommended for safe railing installations.

Do I need a permit to replace my railing?

Yes, in most cases, you’ll need a permit to replace your railing, especially if it involves structural changes or is subject to local building codes. The Ontario Building Code permits wood guards/railings by default. For non-wood installations, such as alternative materials or designs, you must submit Pre-Engineered guard/railing details with your permit application. This ensures compliance with safety standards.

Are railings required for building codes?

Absolutely! Railings are a must-have in Ontario, especially for areas like decks, balconies, and stairs. The Ontario Building Code (OBC) makes sure we all stay safe and sound by laying down rules for guardrails and handrails. They’ve got it all covered – from how tall they need to be, to how strong, and even what materials to use. So, if you’re building or renovating, just know that railings are your new best friend!

What kind of railing do I need around my pool and can I remove it?

When it comes to railings around your pool, safety is key! Typically, you’ll need a sturdy and non-climbable barrier that complies with local building codes. This might include a fence with self-closing and self-latching gates, or a specific type of pool railing. Now, can you remove it? That’s a bit trickier. While you might want to take it down for a pool party or to free up some space, remember that pool safety is no joke. Contact AHS today to consult a professional to ensure any changes you make are safe and compliant. Safety first, fun second!

What are wrough iron and are they still the best?

Wrought iron railings are strong, stylish iron-made barriers used for safety and aesthetics. They’ve been a top choice for ages due to their durability and classic look. While still fantastic, there are newer options like aluminum and steel gaining popularity for their rust resistance and low maintenance. So, while wrought iron rocks, it’s worth exploring all options to find the perfect fit for your needs and style preferences. Safety and style go hand in hand!

Can I customize my railing?

Whether you prefer a minimalist approach or crave intricate details, the options are endless. Talented designers here at AHS can work with you to bring your vision to life, ensuring every aspect reflects your unique style and preferences.
