Metals
Metals have grown popular in recent years as they provide a fresh, clean and architecturally interesting counterpoint to wood and wood composites. Curved balusters, black flat metal, aluminum and stainless steel have been used to create interesting and unique designs. Perhaps the most interesting use of metal is to be seen in the stainless steel cable wire railings which, in addition to providing a very contemporary look, almost disappear from view and allow spectacular vistas to be unimpeded from inside the house. These systems can be quite expensive, but well worth it to the discriminating customer.
