For over a century, pre-engineered components have simplified the fabrication of handrails and other decorative elements. Join us in this one-hour course as we discuss key considerations when specifying stock components for architectural metal work. Participants will not only be able to articulate the benefits of utilizing stock components but also how to evaluate different types of metal alloys and finishes in order to specify and install the best profiles in a variety of applications.
