Black aluminum stair railing in Saint-Jérôme, QC

Salomon Boulevard

Project presentation

Saint-Jérôme, the capital of the Laurentians, has been experiencing steady residential growth in recent years. With this growth comes a rising demand for high-quality outdoor products that combine contemporary aesthetics with unbeatable durability. The owners of this home on Boulevard Salomon had precisely this dual goal in mind when they chose the Heritage 2520 railing from Aluminium Distinction in a black powder-coated finish.

The 2520 model is popular with homeowners who want a simple, elegant outdoor aluminum railing without unnecessary frills. Its clean lines and compact profile blend seamlessly with both traditional and Contemporary homes—a valuable asset in a neighborhood where various architectural styles coexist.

Winters in the Laurentians are among the harshest in Quebec. The Heritage 2520 ramp, made of powder-coated extruded aluminum, withstands repeated freeze-thaw cycles, snow accumulation, and abrasive salt treatments without flinching, never corroding or losing its original appearance.

Project features

Compact and durable

With its 2-inch × 2-inch posts and a height of 36 inches, the Heritage 2520 is the ideal size for residential outdoor staircases. It meets building code requirements while featuring a light, airy design that doesn’t visually overwhelm the home’s facade.

Powder-coated black — a permanent finish

Black is the most popular color in the Heritage line, and for good reason: it complements virtually any style of cladding and creates a strong visual focal point on the facade. The powder-coating process ensures that this color remains vibrant and uniform throughout the product’s lifespan, without ever requiring touch-ups.

All-aluminum construction

Unlike galvanized steel or treated wood handrails, aluminum does not rust, rot, or expand significantly with temperature changes. This dimensional stability ensures that the joints remain tight and secure over the long term.

Ergonomic handrail

The handrail on the Heritage model is contoured to provide a comfortable and secure grip, even when wearing winter gloves. Its extruded aluminum profile is sturdy without being heavy, which makes installation easier and ensures optimal rigidity along the entire length of the span.

Results

On Salomon Boulevard, this black aluminum Heritage 2520 patio railing has completely transformed the property’s entrance. The effect is immediate: the facade looks more elegant, the outdoor staircase is safe, and the black lines of the railing create a visual frame that enhances the entire house.

Aluminium Distinction once again demonstrates that powder-coated aluminum is the solution of choice for homeowners in the Laurentians who want the best combination of quality, durability, and aesthetics on the Quebec market.
