Custom vs CAP Railings: The Choice That Transforms Your Home
Railings may not be the first thing you notice about a home—but they’re one of the details that leave the deepest impression. They frame your entryway, define your deck, and safeguard every step. The right railing doesn’t just protect your family—it transforms your home’s style, boosts curb appeal, and adds long-term value.
At Western Fabrication, we offer two proven solutions: Custom Railings and CAP (Custom Aluminum Panel) Railings.
Why Railings Matter More Than You Think
Railings are more than a building code requirement. They:
Protect – Prevent falls, keep your family safe, and meet strict codes.
Beautify – Enhance design, create focal points, and add instant curb appeal.
Last – Withstand Idaho’s harsh winters and Utah’s blazing summers.
Every homeowner deserves railings that check all three boxes.

Why Waiting Costs You More
Postponing a railing upgrade often means:
Higher repair bills later when cheap materials fail.
Missed resale value when outdated railings drag down offers.
Seasonal delays—winter weather in Idaho and Utah can push projects back months.
Acting now means you enjoy safety, style, and value today—while avoiding higher costs tomorrow.
