Your school campus is an important place where students learn and grow. See how custom metal works can help transform your school for the better.

In addition to comfortable classrooms, educational books, functional computers, and healthy lunches, your school site depends on other important elements for success. You may be surprised to learn that custom metal works on your campus can serve as additional tools. Here's how custom metal works can help transform your school for the better.

Custom Metal Works Have a Variety of Applications

Similar to the way smart technology in classrooms, like interactive flat panels, serve a variety of useful applications, so too can custom metal works. Metal fabrication is capable of constructing more than just handrails for your gymnasium stairs. Take a look at a few places where custom metalwork helps students and staff.

Sports Fencing

Sports are an important part of school life because they help students develop muscles and learn hand-eye coordination. Your students need fencing around baseball and soccer fields to outline and define playing spaces. Sometimes additional safety fencing is necessary to contain balls and prevent accidents, such as behind home plate or between the field and a busy road.

Safety Enclosures and Walkways

Areas like a pre-school or kindergarten space need special protection and consideration. Safety enclosures and walkways provide extra safety measures as they separate young student groups and their play areas from more mature student populations. Creating a separate school area provides a feeling of security for beginning students as well as their potentially nervous parents.

Guard Rails and Stair Rails

Schools where students have access to elevated spaces need guard rails for protection. Gymnasium and theater balconies, in particular, need a way to prevent falls while and keep students safely contained in designated areas.

Very large school buildings with more than one level likely possess multiple stairwells for students to access each floor. Each stairway site needs sturdy handrails to safely guide students up and down steps.

Custom Metal Works Provide More Options

If you demand more metal options for your school, custom metal works can fulfill this requirement. Here are a few different options custom metal provides.

Design Options

Some metal fabricators only offer pre-fabricated pieces in a few designs. You have more design options when you choose custom metal works for your school campus. Working closely with a fabricator lets you turn an idea for a gate panel into a piece of art. For example, your campus gate can boast a laser-cut panel that depicts your school's initials or mascot.

Safety Options

Your school may have certain safety requirements that exceed most standard choices. In this case, custom metal allows you to pick a special railing style or metal thickness to accommodate your needs. For example, high traffic stairs need thicker metal handrails to remain durable and strong with little maintenance.

Additionally, metal works helps your school remain ADA compliant, especially where children are the principal users in a building with stairs.

Custom metal works do not have to be boring and institutional. Your school can possess style and make a statement, without sacrificing the safety of your students, with strategically designed metal handrails, stair rails, walkways, and other metal components. Attractive, well-designed, and well-fabricated metal works create a feeling of safety, security, and unity on your school campus.
