Order Balcony Railing Made to Measure: Step-by-Step Guide
t252-40

To order a balcony railing made to measure, send photos and basic dimensions, arrange an on-site measurement, approve a written drawing and specification, and then the piece is produced in our factory and installed. Each step confirms the exact fit before any metal is cut, which prevents costly mismatches.
Step 1: Send an Inquiry with Photos
Start by sending us clear photos of the balcony or window area, taken straight on and from a slight angle so the surroundings are visible. Add a short description of what you need: a full railing, a glass infill, a security bar pattern, or a matching gate. Mention the floor, the side of the building, and whether the space is a private apartment or a shared building.
Photos help us understand the structure, the wall or slab material, and any existing fixtures before we visit. A well-prepared inquiry makes the next steps faster for everyone.
Step 2: On-Site Measurement
After reviewing your inquiry, our team measures the balcony or opening on site. We record the length of each run, the height from the finished floor, corner angles, wall thickness and the position of anchor points. Measuring on site is essential because walls are rarely perfectly straight or level.
- Overall length and height of each section
- Anchor type and fixing surface
- Obstacles such as pipes, lights or slopes
Step 3: Drawing and Written Specification
Once the measurements are taken, we prepare a drawing showing the design, profile sizes, spacing and fixing points. The written specification lists the materials, such as iron or aluminum, the finish, and any glass or infill details. Please check every dimension and every item carefully before you approve.
If you want the railing to meet the Israeli railing standard SI 1142, tell us at this stage. Exact load and dimension values are checked with the engineer for your project.
Step 4: Client Approval
Approval is the point where you confirm the drawing and specification in writing. Read the design, the finish, the color and the installation scope. If something does not match what you pictured, ask for a revision now, since changes after production are harder and slower.
Once approved, the order moves into production and we will confirm the agreed next steps with you.
Step 5: Factory Production and Finishing
Production takes place at our workshop on Rival Street 37 in Tel Aviv, where we cut, weld and assemble each piece to the approved drawing. Steel parts are typically hot-dip galvanized for corrosion protection and then powder coated in the chosen color. Aluminum parts receive the finish specified in the order.
Each element is checked against the drawing before it leaves the factory, so the pieces arrive ready to fit.
Step 6: Installation
Our installers fix the railing to the balcony or wall using the anchors defined in the specification. We check level, alignment and fixing strength before finishing. After installation, we walk through the result with you and make sure everything fits and operates as expected.
Keep the approved drawing for your records, since it documents the exact dimensions and materials of your railing.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need to be home for the measurement?
It is helpful if someone who can give access to the balcony is present. We can coordinate a time that suits you and the building.
Can I change the design after approving the drawing?
Changes are possible before production starts, but after approval they may affect the schedule. Tell us about any doubts before you approve.
What finishes are available for steel railings?
Steel railings are commonly hot-dip galvanized and then powder coated in a color of your choice. We confirm the exact finish in the written specification.
Is the railing installed by your team?
Yes, our installers fix the railing on site according to the approved drawing and specification.
Common mistakes to avoid
Ordering before the on-site measurement or approving a drawing without checking every dimension are the most common causes of mismatched railings. Take the time to review each detail before signing off.
Our recommendation
Measure twice and approve only after you have checked the drawing against the actual balcony, especially the height, the anchor positions and the corner angles.
Summary
Ordering a made-to-measure balcony railing follows six clear steps, from photo inquiry and on-site measurement to approval, factory production and installation.
