About Curved Bar Foot Rails
We can precisely define and fabricate your curved rail with any one of the following pairs of dimensions as measured at the Bar Face/Mounting Surface. Enter only one pair that you know and click calculate to display all the information we need for fabrication.

Our specialists will normally provide a quotation within minutes and if you're in a hurry, we can even give you an accurate estimate while you're still on the phone. We can work from your CAD illustration or architectural plans but if the curve of your bar foot rail is uniform, we only require one of the measurement sets above.
For ellipse or other curves with changing radii, please call for directions on how to specify. The above information applies to curves on hand rails and other material, as well. The easiest way to get started is to call 877-747-2457. You'll speak directly with a specialist who will clearly explain what's needed.
Variations in Finish (Polished, Brushed, Satin, Powder Coat and Plated)
Finishes for the same or different components and tubing may exhibit variations in tone or hue. The variations are always complementary but will vary depending on the type of material, the process used in finishing and the number of steps used for the specified finish. This is particularly important for straight vs. bent/curved tubing, since curved tubing utilizes material with a heavier wall thickness.
For example, tubing, brackets and components that are made from the same alloy are typically produced by different foundries. Small variations in the alloy composition will result in differences in color and hue. Also, the method used in production (extrusion vs. casting) will impact the look of the finished product. Finally, additional coatings applied to the various products may result in different reflective properties and affect the finished look. These variations are common and to be expected.
If the potential differences in color may be problematic for you, please call to discuss BEFORE you order.
