Free Stair Railing Measurement Visit: How It Works

t334-34

A free stair railing measurement visit is an on-site appointment where our team checks your staircase dimensions, wall conditions and layout before any work begins. You receive a written specification and drawing based on those measurements, with no obligation to proceed. Request the visit by sending photos of your stairs and your preferred contact time.

Why a Measurement Visit Comes Before Anything Else

A stair railing is only as good as the measurements behind it. Stairs in older buildings are rarely perfectly straight or level, and walls can vary by a few centimeters from top to bottom. Measuring on site lets us account for these differences instead of relying on plans or estimates.

The visit also gives you a chance to talk through the design with someone who builds these railings every day. You can see how the railing will look next to your floors, walls and handrail preferences before anything is cut or welded.

What Happens During the On-Site Visit

Our technician arrives at the agreed time and walks the full length of the staircase. The visit usually covers:

Length and rise of each step and the landing
Wall type and how the railing will be fixed
Height and position of the handrail
Any obstacles such as windows, outlets or door swings

Photos are taken for our records, and the technician will note anything that affects the design.

From Measurements to a Written Drawing

After the visit, we prepare a drawing and a written specification for your railing. The document describes the materials, finish, infill pattern and fixing method. Exact structural values are checked with the engineer where required, and the Israeli railing standard SI 1142 is taken into account in the design.

You review the drawing at your own pace. If something does not match what you pictured, we revise it before moving forward. Nothing is produced until you approve the final version.

Production in Our Tel Aviv Factory

Once approved, the railing is manufactured at our workshop on Rival Street 37 in Tel Aviv. Every piece is cut and assembled to the measurements taken on site, which is why the visit matters so much. We work with iron, stainless steel, aluminum and glass, depending on the look and use you need.

Finishing steps such as hot-dip galvanizing or powder coating are applied where needed to protect the metal and keep the appearance consistent over time.

Installation and Final Check

Our installation team brings the finished railing to your property and fixes it to the staircase according to the approved drawing. We confirm alignment, height and stability before leaving. Any small adjustments are made on the spot.

We recommend keeping the measurement photos and the approved specification together, so that any future work on the staircase has a clear reference.

Preparing for Your Measurement Visit

A few simple steps help the visit go smoothly:

Clear the staircase and landing where possible
Have a rough idea of the railing style you prefer
Note any existing damage or areas you want to change
Send photos of the staircase in advance if you have them

Tell us a convenient time and we will confirm the appointment.

Frequently asked questions

Is the stair railing measurement visit really free?

Yes, the on-site measurement visit and the written drawing are free and carry no obligation to order. You only decide to proceed once you have reviewed the specification.

How long does the measurement visit take?

The visit depends on the length and complexity of the staircase, and our technician will give you an estimate when you book. Most visits allow enough time to measure carefully and discuss your options.

Do I need to be home during the visit?

It is best to be present so you can point out the details that matter to you. If you cannot attend, make sure someone who can give access and answer questions is available.

Can you measure a staircase that is already fitted with an old railing?

Yes, the technician measures the existing structure and notes how the old railing is fixed. This helps us plan the new railing and the fixing method correctly.

Common mistakes to avoid

Many homeowners measure the stairs themselves and order without a site visit, which often leads to railings that do not fit wall irregularities. Skipping the approval of the drawing is another common error that causes costly changes later.

Our recommendation

Ask for the drawing and specification in writing before approving production, and check that the fixing method suits your wall type. Keep the measurement photos so you have a clear record of the staircase as it was measured.

Summary

A free stair railing measurement visit gives you accurate measurements, a clear written drawing and no obligation to proceed. It is the first step toward a railing that fits your staircase and your home.
