An important enhancement to any property railings have traditionally been seen as part of the overall architectural concept. An attitude re-enforced by the fact that heritage grant aid has in many cases been used to re-instate period railings, removed in The Second World War for scrap, with designs copied from old photographs. These often reflect the design ethos of the time in terms of proportion, style and quality of manufacture, a tradition that continues to this day, although increasingly we are asked to develop new and more artistic ideas.

Railings are distinguished from balustrades by the fact they are not subject to building regulations. They define and mark boundaries where as balustrades are used to protect people from falling, over an edge with a drop, on a stairs or balcony.
