More often than not, railing is an afterthought with residential and commercial properties; however, railing is often the feature that defines a home or frames a building. A good example of this is the Fendi Chateau building in Surfside, Florida. Its wavy glass railing is arguably the more characteristic aesthetic.

If you travel further across from the private villas of Altos Del Mar on the famed Collins Avenue, you’ll find a series of boutique condo buildings where each building is characterized from each other by the railing.

Below are 7 benefits of our modern railing:

Visibility: Meeting all safety codes, the Green Oxen railing has perfectly spaced cylinders that offer support and allows for an unobstructed view. Our customers have used Epulum modern railing for balconies that overlook the ocean, to yard fences so as to see the greenery of their neighborhood. Our modular railing system also comes with glass, horizontal, vertical, cable and grid railing infills.

Design:  The look and function of the railing was designed to be modular so that it can be applied to almost any space. When asked why the particular design was produced, the chief designer said: “We were aiming to make railing that could be noticeable and invisible at the same time.” It may sound like an oxymoron, but Epulum modern railing does do just that. It allows for transparency but, also a sophisticated sleek look that when it is noticed, it is remembered.

Feel: The top railing may be the most important feature in the Epulum modern railing because it is where we interact with it. The circular design is appealing to hold in the hand while you stand next to the railing to enjoy your view. The anodized aluminum never becomes too hot or too cold to the hand. The Epulum modern railing system is also engineered with no sharp corners, only smooth circular aspects to be durable and stable with heavy use.

Corrosion Resistant: There is a reason Epulum modern railing was born in South Florida. It was engineered to be in close proximity to saltwater and not corrode. The railing is made with 100% ethically sourced and recycled aluminum and is treated to be usable in any environment.

Maintenance: The anodized aluminum is incredibly low maintenance.

Unique: The railing is unique because of the circumference of the rails and the shape of its vertical frame.  Any residential or commercial space can improve its aesthetic, functionality, sustainability-level and individuality with Green Oxen railing.

Strength:  The unbending aluminum is light but secure, and it’s sustainable. Green Oxen staff are designers, but engineers to their core and this is reflected in the quality design and engineering of any Green Oxen product.

Outdoor railing installations come with a unique set of challenges, especially when it comes to durability and compliance. Take a look at these four important questions and how Green Oxen’s Epulum aluminum railing system addresses them:

What’s the environment? Constant sun exposure, salty air, hurricanes, moisture from the rain and snow are a few of the harsh conditions railings can potentially face.  To overcome this, Green Oxen uses only the highest graded architectural anodizing for Epulum railings. This gives them a ceramic finish and toughness in three color options: black aluminum, bronze aluminum and silver aluminum – the railings natural anodized color. We also have painted alternatives, should you want to paint the railing to any color of your choosing. Depending on your proximity to the coast, whether you are painting railings for indoor or outdoor use and if you are looking for a glossy, semi-gloss or matte finish, our experts can advise you on the correct option for your railing.

What traffic will the railing be exposed to? Our anodized finish process coats the aluminum forming a super hard damage resistant barrier that makes it extremely impervious to surface scratches and dents. Your railing can always be kept new, beautiful and easy to repair unlike other inflexible options such as wood.

What maintenance is expected?  Nothing is more simple than an occasional wipe down for your railing to last a lifetime. That being said, there is always an unforeseen accident or natural disaster and the impact on a welded or dedicated railing project can be devastating.  The benefit of our Epulum aluminum railing system is that it is a modular railing system that is completely repairable, allowing for the replacement of any single component without having to replace an entire railing project.  

What is the project budget? Can one get a sophisticated high-end look and feel without breaking the bank? The Epulum railing system is sold by the 5 foot section length and our facility ensures we deliver an elegant combination of robustness, durability, and cost-effectiveness.

From design consideration, code compliance, renderings, budgeting and on-site installation, our dedicated railing professionals can help you navigate the process from start to finish.

The Feel – Our Epulum aluminum railing system provides stylish security at its finest. We don’t settle for average, and neither should you. Our Epulum railings are engineered and carved from a solid piece of aluminum and they feel every bit as premium as they look. 

Maintenance – What will happen if you get hit with an unexpected natural disaster or accident and your railing is damaged?  In many railing projects, this means you need to replace the entire project. With our modular railing system, the railing is completely repairable and allows for the replacement of any single component without having to replace the entire project.

Corrosion – What are the materials of construction and how resistant to corrosion will these be in your environment?  Green Oxen’s painted and anodized aluminum finishes are great in harsh snow as they are in saltwater environments, offering the highest level of corrosion protection on the market today.

Durability – A railing system will likely face relentless use and abuse.  Our anodized finish coats the aluminum, forming a super hard damage resistant barrier. The interior of our horizontal railing is also engineered with a durable core, in comparison to some hollow alternative options.

Color – Our Epulum railing system comes in three anodized aluminum color options: black, bronze and silver. You also have the option to paint your railing in any color that you want. Depending on your proximity to the coast and if you are painting your railings for indoor or outdoor use, our dedicated railing professionals can guide you in choosing the appropriate paint for your railing.

Green Oxen’s Epulum aluminum railings add a modern and elegant accent to the condominium, making it a perfect choice between style and functionality. The railing is weather-resistant to the saltwater environment that is common in costal cities, and if damage does occur due to a hurricane or large storm, the Epulum railing system is modular in that you can easily repair a single component without having to replace the entire railing project.

When Hurricane Irma made landfall in the United States, the Florida Keys were hit first and suffered the worst damage in the country. The September 2017 storm first hit Cudjoe Key as a Category 4 hurricane with hurricane stained wind speeds of close to 150 mph and an estimated storm surge of at least 10 feet. The storm was massive and pummeled the Florida Keys with 12 inches of rain, heavy wind and reports of tornadoes. A number of our customers with homes in the Keys expressed how impressed they were with Epulum railing’s weather resistance.

This house is directly next to the ocean and sustained damage to the land and building. The Epulum railing on their balcony and stairs that externally connect the two floors were in “excellent condition”. The homeowner also noted “haven’t seen a scratch or corrosion of any kind.”

Another customer in the Keys noted that they expected the railing to vibrate with the high winds, but was surprised how “steady” and “unmoving” the Epulum railing handled the hurricane storm.
