4 Great Ways Railing Systems Will Benefit Your Project
Published 03/25/15Last Edited 07/19/19
As a premier provider and manufacturer of custom railing systems for commercial building projects, HDI Railing Systems knows that the basic functions have to be covered, but the railings have to look great, too. Custom handrails, guardrails, and railing systems from HDI can benefit your building and interior design projects in several ways.
Get LEED Points from Your Railings
Functional, stylish interior safety and security features like railings and guardrails are a boon for modern design and architectural building projects. With everything “turning green”, it has become an ever-more-important focus that every material or building element contribute to LEED certification in some way.
It is for that reason HDI uses reusable and renewable materials like steel and Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) woods (upon request). Steel can have a near infinite lifetime because it can almost always be recycled into something else. The steel used by HDI contains between 45-60% post-consumer content, and the available low-emission coatings for both materials can garner additional LEED points, if needed.
Beyond that, many LEED points can be earned by being within a certain distance of the manufacturer and material source. The sources for post-consumer steel, FSC wood and glass are all within a few miles of the main facility, and HDI has suppliers on both coasts that can provide the materials within a 500-mile radius of most major US markets.
Stylish Safety
HDI custom railing systems have several options that add a great amount of safety to any stairwell or walkway, and bring an aspect of style to the design using discrete LED lighting and features like glass and woven metal fabrics.
Be sure to take a look at some great examples of the HDI LED lighting systems for railings, as well as the railing infill panel options.
Reduce Your Workload
HDI offers services than can ease the workload of any interior designer or architect. Knowing that you have a sales and support person dedicated to your region, HDI can also:

Make Your Project Stand Out
There is simply no question that HDI Railing Systems stand apart from the rest. From custom designs, flexible configurations for every product, and the in-house engineering and design you can count on each installation being unique and fitting into the personality and character of the overall design or building.
