Project presentation

In the Laurentians, waterfront properties have a character all their own. When this homeowner in Sainte-Agathe-des-Monts wanted to replace his old wooden railing with something durable and elegant, he quickly settled on the Ornamental line from Aluminium Distinction. The 3572 model in matte white blended perfectly with the bright facade of the home, located just a few minutes from Lac des Sables.

The 3572 white ornamental handrail was chosen for its ability to add a classic touch while requiring zero maintenance. In a region with extreme seasonal conditions—freeze, thaw, and freezing rain—powder-coated aluminum is the only truly durable solution. The uniform matte white finish complements the light-colored exterior cladding typical of vacation homes in the Laurentians.

The project involved installing the ramp on the steps leading to the main entrance, with a neat finish at both ends for a clean, professional look.

Project features

Uniform matte white finish

The matte white finish of the Ornamental 3572 is achieved through factory powder coating, a process that ensures perfect adhesion and maximum weather resistance. The color remains uniform without yellowing or flaking over the seasons, even when exposed to direct sunlight in the Laurentians.

Classic Ornamental Bars

The ornamental balusters of Model 3572 add a decorative touch that sets it apart from conventional straight railings. Each baluster is precision-machined to create a harmonious design that blends tradition and modernity, making it perfect for country homes and vacation homes.

Resistance to northern conditions

Aluminium Distinction manufactures its handrails to withstand Quebec’s harshest weather conditions. Aluminum does not rust, swell, or warp when exposed to freezing temperatures. The fasteners and hardware are also made of aluminum or stainless steel to prevent galvanic corrosion.

Customization

Each staircase is manufactured to the customer’s exact specifications. The height, the number of sections, and the angle of the flight—everything is adjusted at the factory to ensure a precise on-site installation, with no improvisation.

Results

This entrance in Sainte-Agathe-des-Monts has regained its full elegance thanks to the white Ornamental 3572 railing. The owner can enjoy his home in the Laurentians with complete peace of mind, without ever having to worry about maintaining or repainting the railing.

That’s the peace of mind that Aluminium Distinction offers: beautiful, sturdy, and durable products, made in Quebec for Quebec.
