Modern, Safe, View-Preserving
Cable Railings: Contemporary Design, Unobstructed Views
Discover Forgéa's cable railings, a modern alternative to traditional balusters. Our stainless steel cable systems are designed to maximize light and preserve your view, all while meeting stringent safety standards. They are adjustable, durable, and add a touch of contemporary elegance to any space.
Why Choose Cable Railings?
Cable railings offer a sleek, minimalist aesthetic that complements modern architecture. Unlike solid bars, they allow light to pass through freely, creating a more open and spacious feel. This design choice is perfect for balconies, staircases, and terraces where maintaining an unobstructed view is a priority.
Forgéa's cable railings are not just about looks; they are built to last. We use high-quality materials and precise construction techniques to ensure durability and safety for years to come. Each installation adheres to strict safety regulations, including a maximum 10 cm gap between cables to prevent passage of a 10cm sphere.
Technical Details and Customization
Our cable railings are crafted with marine-grade AISI 316 stainless steel cables, available in diameters from 4mm to 6mm. We utilize screw or clevis tensioners for easy adjustment and optimal cable tension. The vertical spacing of cables is typically 10 to 12 cm, ensuring compliance with safety norms.
For safety, the regulatory height for railings is a minimum of 1.00m, with 1.10m recommended for enhanced security. Forgéa offers a variety of configurations to match your specific needs and aesthetic preferences, including horizontal or vertical cable orientations and combinations with other materials.
