Start a lighter rail run with 1" OD Round Tubing — the material you build the whole run from, cut to fit a stair, a balcony edge, or a slim decorative handrail. At 1" OD with a.050" wall it is easy to handle and suits spaces that want a delicate profile. Order it by the length in 4, 6, 8, or 12 feet. Pick the finish that fits: 304 Polished Stainless Steel for a bright modern look, 304 Satin for a softer, low-glare surface, or Polished Brass for a warm, traditional rail or a restoration. It pairs with the matching splices and fittings in the 1" line, so a stair or full project comes together from one family of parts.
