If you have young children or elderly family living at your home, or have employees or customers walking throughout a multi-level building you should never hesitate or delay the installation of mild steel railing, especially on stairways, decks, and ledges.

Not only does it add beauty and sophistication to a home or building, railings are important safety features that should not be overlooked. 

Here are some of the important safety benefits that mild steel railing can provide:

• Balancing on steps and platforms

When a person loses balance on the stairs or suffers from muscle weakness, they may cling to the railing. Railings provide stability, which is especially important for young children, the elderly, and people with disabilities. Some people like to lightly graze railings with their hands just in case they need extra support or balance.

• Preventing nasty falls

Railings on decks and ledges provide a needed barrier between the deck’s surface and the high vertical drop. They help protect curious children or impaired adults.

• Provides comfort

This is an often understated benefit for railings - they help comfort those who experience vertigo or a fear of heights, allowing them to walk closer to the edge of stairs or balconies without fear.

What Is The Fabrication Process Of Mild Steel Railing?

Mild steel is a type of low carbon steel. They are metals that contain a small percentage of carbon (max 2.1%) which enhances the properties of pure iron. They contain useful properties like corrosion resistance, wear resistance and tensile strength.

The fabrication process for mild steel is similar to other carbon steels, which includes:

1. Mixing iron ore with coal and lime and heated in a blast furnace
2. Molten steel is poured into a mould, where it is shaped and allowed to solidify
3. Next, the carbon steel is cut and formed into desired shapes like slabs, blooms and billets place.

What Are The Advantages Of Mild Steel Railing?

• They are efficiently malleable

One of the most beneficial properties of mild steel is it can be bent, cut and twisted much more easily to create the desired shape easier than other metal.

It is one of the reasons why carbon steel (mild steel) is popular in many industries from the manufacture of household items to structural applications to the DIY and home improvement project. 

The high level of demand makes mild steel a widely produced material and therefore a very affordable material. That's one of the plus points of mild steel railing.

• They are much lighter in weight

Compared to high carbon steel, mild carbon steel is lighter. The proportion of carbon is the main influencing factor for the weight. 

Working with mild steel railing or mild steel is, therefore, much easier to work with.

• They are much more affordable

While working on a low budget, mild carbon steel proves to be the best. It is an ideal material that keeps project cost as low as possible.

While mild steel or mild steel railing is relatively cheaper than other metals you will have to consider the fact that you may have to treat it to prevent it from corrosion.
