Introducing the new Cascadia Horizontal Rod Rail System, the newest railing system from AGS Stainless, Inc (AGS). When it comes to including the high-visual impact of stainless railing in your homes, builders now have a more affordable choice. Rather than having a local fabricator build an expensive custom stainless railing system for your projects, Cascadia is a stainless railing system that’s available from your local LBM dealer, and it is priced similar to a typical cable rail system.  

Fabricated from 316-marine grade stainless steel, Cascadia captures the visual impact of a custom stainless railing system.  However, with only 8-components Cascadia can be installed quickly, easily, and by almost anyone on the builders team. No metal fabricator, long lead times, special tools or experience are required to install Cascadia.

With Cascadia, helping your clients distinguish their homes with the elegant look of stainless steel on their deck and interior stairways is now much more affordable. For more than 30-years AGS has designed and fabricated custom stainless railing for some of the world’s most distinctive homes and commercial properties. Learn more about the new Cascadia Rod Rail System and other custom home and remodel topics in this series of informative discussions.
