Our Aluminum Stair Railings in Montreal
Vaudry Villeneuve offers a complete range of outdoor aluminum stair railings, designed to withstand Quebec’s climate while blending with all architectural styles. Each staircase guardrail is manufactured with high-quality aluminum and coated with a powder paint finish resistant to impacts and weather.
Welded Aluminum Stair Railing in Montreal
Learn more
Welded aluminum railings offer superior rigidity and long-term durability for your outdoor staircases. The welding creates a solid structural block that withstands the lateral loads required by the RBQ, even after years of exposure to freeze-thaw cycles. Certain boroughs and heritage districts impose specific architectural standards that we must replicate while meeting today’s requirements. Available with straight or curved balusters and a rectangular or colonial handrail, these stair railings adapt to straight, quarter-turn, or double quarter-turn configurations.
Stair Railing with Tempered Glass Panels in Montreal
Learn more
For a modern and sleek look, our stair railings with tempered glass panels combine the strength of the aluminum structure with the transparency of glass. This type of staircase guardrail is ideal for homeowners in Montreal who want to maintain an unobstructed view while meeting safety standards. Panels are available in clear, smoked (bronze or gray), and frosted glass.
Wall-Mounted Aluminum Handrail for Staircases in Montreal
Learn more
When your staircase is bordered by a wall rather than a balustrade with balusters, a wall-mounted handrail is required by the Quebec Building Code. Our wall-mounted aluminum handrails are installed at a compliant height (between 34 and 38 inches), with an easily graspable profile with a diameter between 1¼ and 2 inches. They provide safe support along the entire length of the staircase.

Stair Railing Heights: 36, 42, and 48 Inches
Our stair railings are available in three standard heights. The 36-inch railing is the standard height for residential staircases with a low fall height. The 36-inch guardrail is required by the RBQ when the fall height reaches 24 inches or more. For a fall height exceeding 6 feet, a 42-inch guardrail is required. The 48-inch railing is designed for applications requiring maximum protection (pool). Custom dimensions are also available depending on your configuration.
Customizable Baluster, Post, and Handrail Styles
Customize your stair railing from several models available on our online store. Choose your baluster style (straight or curved), your post type, and your handrail profile. For colors, we offer white, black, commercial brown, and wood-look finishes for a warm aesthetic that complements your facade.
A Complete Outdoor Aluminum Staircase in Montreal
Vaudry Villeneuve goes beyond railings: we also offer the fabrication and installation of complete aluminum staircases. A successful outdoor staircase project combines a solid structure with quality components that work together.
Custom Aluminum Stringers and Staircase Structure
Aluminum stringers form the structural base of your staircase. Custom-built to match the height and configuration of your property in Montreal, they offer superior strength and long-term durability. Combined with our stair railings, they form a cohesive and code-compliant assembly.
Non-Slip Fiberglass or Aluminum Steps
Complete your staircase with fiberglass steps or aluminum steps. Fiberglass steps feature a built-in non-slip finish and complete waterproofing, while aluminum steps are lightweight, strong, and maintenance-free. Both options withstand harsh weather and Montreal’s rigorous climate.
Staircase Configurations: Straight, Quarter-Turn, and Custom
Our aluminum staircases are available in several configurations to fit the available space on your property. Straight staircase, quarter-turn, double quarter-turn, or fully custom design — our team fabricates and installs the ideal solution for your project in Montreal.
Standards for Outdoor Stair Railings in Montreal
Stair Railing Mandatory from 4 Risers According to the RBQ
In Quebec, installing an outdoor stair railing is mandatory starting from four risers. This National Building Code requirement is designed to prevent falls and ensure occupant safety. Every stair railing installed by Vaudry Villeneuve in Montreal meets this standard and the RBQ’s structural requirements.
Baluster Height and Spacing Compliant with the Building Code
The stair railing must measure between 34 and 38 inches in height according to the Quebec Building Code. The spacing between vertical balusters must not allow the passage of a 4-inch (10 cm) diameter sphere, in order to prevent accidents with young children. The railing design must also avoid any “ladder effect” that could facilitate climbing.
Requirements for Outdoor Staircase Handrails in Quebec
The handrail must be continuous along the entire length of the staircase, installed at a height between 34 and 38 inches, and have an easily graspable profile (diameter between 1¼ and 2 inches). Whether your staircase is bordered by a railing with balusters or a wall requiring a wall-mounted handrail, our installations in Montreal meet all of these criteria.
