🚧 Project Spotlight: Custom Aluminum Railing Cover Plates 🚧

At General Welding & Fabricating, we take pride in delivering innovative solutions for our clients, and our recent project at the OLV Human Services building in Lackawanna is a perfect example.

The Challenge: Safety & Compliance

The building’s stairwell railings were not up to code due to the spacing between spindles exceeding the required 4-inch gap. With the building fully occupied, welding on-site or removing the railings for modification wasn’t a viable option. Our team needed to come up with a solution that was quick, safe, and effective—without causing disruptions to the tenants.

The Solution: Custom Aluminum Railing Cover Plates

Our answer to this challenge? Custom aluminum, powder-coated railing cover plates. These were meticulously designed to fit seamlessly over the existing railings on two 3-story stairwells. The plates were securely fastened to the railings and landings, bringing the entire stairwell up to code while maintaining a sleek, modern look.

Not only did this solution enhance safety, but it was also cost-effective and efficient. There was no need for messy, time-consuming on-site welding or disassembling parts of the building’s infrastructure. The installation process was smooth and non-intrusive, keeping the building’s operations running without interruption.

The Result: Safe & Stylish

Our custom cover plates didn’t just fix a safety issue—they added a polished, professional look to the stairwells. The best part? They look fantastic! 😎✨ The aluminum’s powder-coated finish adds durability while blending perfectly with the building’s aesthetic.

At General Welding & Fabricating, we believe that safety and style go hand-in-hand. This project was a testament to how custom fabrication can solve problems while elevating the appearance of a space.
