Cable Railing for Enhancing Your Home Décor

Cable railing has become a hot favorite amongst architects and interior designers for its usability as well as for its ability to offer high level of aesthetics. These offer an organized look and provide unobtrusive view (especially ideal if you stay amidst nature’s beauty). They can be used just everywhere in a residential setting, both indoors and outdoors.

cable railing
These are available in various materials, but the one in stainless steel and aluminum are the most widely used. They are maintenance free and gel with all kinds of home decor. Moreover, you can also paint them as per your individual choice and liking. At Air Technical, we have metal railings for various purposes that include balconies, walkways, stairways, and more. Apart from that, we also have

excellent capabilities for offering you cable railings for your customized requirements. Just state your design and we would provide you railings of your exact specifications and style.

If you are planning to install cable railing in your interiors, we suggest that you go for 304 steel variety, they offer an attractive appearance and is known for superior endurance capacity. However if you wish to go for colored versions, then aluminum is the best option, as it can be effectively painted. And, the cost incurred in installing them is almost similar to that of 304-stainless steel. For external applications, the 316 stainless steel variety is more popular with higher nickel content, as it has excellent resistance to corrosion or salt contamination. Stainless steel is the most opted choice for cable railing and fences at home, as it is cost effective for smaller installations.

You would be amazed with the variety we offer in our standard catalogue. We are also welcome with customized orders for other metal fabricated products as food processing equipment like spiral let-down chutes, sinks, screw conveyors, conveyor belting, vibratory conveyors, and many more.

Metal Fabricated Store Fixtures Installed

How cool does this Surefoot store look??!!! This photograph shows the seating benches (with built-in tool drawers) designed for custom fitting of ski boots. On the ceiling in the photograph, you can see the specially designed light covers that adds to the upscale look of the store. These light covers were made of punched white aluminum.

In addition to the 2 large seating benches shown in the photograph, the other fixtures included special “foaming stands” used in creating the molds for Surefoot’s custom made ski boots, a digitizer, and other store accessories.

The LADG designed the project for high functionality, durability, and a clean new look for Surefoot. The material of choice was 16 gauge steel with a durable white powder coating finish. Using the architectural prints, Astro Engineering and Manufacturing created the shop drawings in CAD software, SolidWorks. The skilled metal fabricators at Astro sheared, laser cut, formed, welded, and assembled the steel fixtures.

Astro has the technology and wide metal fabricating capabilities so was able to do the complete job and ship on time even though the lead time was short. Our team of professionals works diligently and takes pride in satisfying needs and solving problems for our clients and customers.
Contact us today to learn how we can solve your metal fabricated products needs with high quality, custom solutions.

Another Metal Fabrication Project Completed

metal fabricated store fixtures
This truck is loaded with the latest shipment of metal fabricated store fixtures and is heading out to the newly remodeled Surefoot store in Whistler BC just in time for the Olympics. The LADG designed the store layout and fixtures for a modern, upscale look, yet extremely durable to accommodate heavy ski boots.


Astro Engineering and Manufacturing fabricated the steel fixtures for Surefoot’s store in Steamboat Springs Colorado in November. Surefoot was so pleased with the function and look of the new metal fabricated store fixtures that they immediately decided to upgrade their store in Whistler in time for the Olympics. With no time to waste, both The LADG and Astro Engineering and Manufacturing worked feverishly to get this project designed and fabricated for on-time delivery before the Olympics started.

Check back on our blog soon for photos of the metal fabricated fixtures in place at the new store.
