dwell Marin Home Tour

dwell magazine's Marin home tour is coming up later this month, and on April 29, day two of the event you can tour our railings...and the home where they reside!  The "Marin Modern" house is in Mill Valley, stop by and check it out.. the pics of the site seem a bit out of focus so check out these below and then go see them in person...

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year!...Trolling through the year of pictures and found several jobs we didn't share with you guys... the first is a nice little deck addition off a remodeled kitchen.  We used aluminum grating to maintain light for the bedroom below and a cable rail to keep it looking light and airy.  the railing was broken up so as to build the deck in two phases and using all the same parts... looks good and saves money and time.  More to come tomorrow...With 2012 coming up.. like what seems like tomorrow, keep us in mind if you are in need.. we are here to help... and remember, if you are going to build it, build it right, with Five Twenty Two Industries....

18 Years Old.

So look who is legal.. now we can VOTE! September 1st was our 18th birthday and now we will be voting for our favorite views (interpret that as you may) The point is, You bought the view.. you should enjoy the VIEW not the railing.. well.. you should enjoy the railing as well so long as you don't sacrifice the view...This roof deck looking down on the Sea Cliff dist in SF just so happens to have quite the spectacular landmark in its purview....gosh where is an english major when you need one...The Anodized aluminum rail will NEVER rust.. it just can't! The only thing that will out last that bridge view is aluminum. They had a steel railing up here that lasted them a year... then they called us. This modular system snapped together in a breeze. You can do it yourself or you could have your contractor do it...or you could not only have us fabricate it.. we could install it as well... go on..give us a ring.

My New Years Resolution

Is to not ruin the view....Stainless wire rails... I mean you bought the View don't ruin it with a railing... We can help out.

The Sunday Paper

You should wait before wrapping the fish in it this week... Check out the Home and Garden section...Something about Oakland and Ipe and Lighting and the value of architects and lighting designers and such... No mention of the steel workers and designers working on railings... Oh well... wrap the fish....Oh and if you need an awning or rail... let us know.

Connection Porn

It's just sexy....Modular bolt together railing system. Spacer connectors are counter bored so they are flush. The wire railing system has no exposed turnbuckles. Turnbuckles are for suckers. The end pieces of the wire system have internal threads to seamlessly and turnbucklelessly add tension to the wire. (you can impress your friends by using that term....just don't use it in scrabble) Just remember kids, connection details are sexy.

The full Monty

So... you know you wanted to check it out....wondering to yourself what it looked like all complete and stuff... Well here is the corner shot which I guess then by definition is not the full monty but just another partial shot... oh well.. check the website in a week or so and I promise we will have the full monty shot there... Oh BTW. Top and bottom aluminum horizontals, and round spacers are anodized while the uprights are hand polished and powder coated clear semi-gloss. The wood cap is solid American Red Oak and the biscuit in the corner is anodized aluminum as well...
