This ensures that their railing installations are not only visually stunning but also underpinned by an ethos of environmental responsibility.
Their material of choice for mid-rails and one-line railings is treated with a powder coating free from harmful solvents, ensuring minimal impact on soil, air, and groundwater. This protective barrier ensures the railings’ longevity and resilience.

The glass, approximately 20% of which is recycled, exemplifies the company’s steadfast dedication to sustainability. LED lighting systems, an optional addition, significantly reduce energy consumption, showcasing how HDI Railings integrates eco-friendly practices into their designs.
