Where We Install
Metal Innovation provides versatile railing installations that are fully compliant with California Building Codes (CBC) and ADA guidelines. Common application areas include:
- Interior and exterior staircases (requiring continuous handrails and specific graspability profiles)
- Balcony and mezzanine perimeters (requiring 42” guardrails in public and multi-family spaces)
- ADA-accessible ramps and routes of travel
- Poolside enclosures and safety fencing
- Walkways and elevated plazas
- Public library entries and institutional corridors (mandating strict ADA compliance)
No matter the site, every project receives custom metalwork designed for the building’s form, function, and occupancy type.
Navigating Los Angeles Building Codes for Cerritos Properties
As experts in Los Angeles County development, we ensure every installation strictly adheres to the latest California Building Code (CBC) and Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) standards. These codes are not one-size-fits-all; they vary based on building use (occupancy type). Understanding these distinctions is critical for safety, passing inspection, and long-term liability protection.

Railing Solutions by Building Type in Cerritos
The architectural landscape of Cerritos ranges from established residential neighborhoods to modern commercial hubs. We tailor our materials and designs accordingly.
- Residential Homes: Cerritos homeowners have greater aesthetic freedom. Popular choices include classic wrought iron for traditional homes, sleek cable railings for modern looks, and elegant glass panel systems to preserve views. Our focus is on combining your design vision with family safety, ensuring details like the 4-inch sphere rule are perfectly executed.
- Multi-Family & HOA Communities (Apartments & Condos): For these properties, durability, compliance, and uniformity are paramount. We often use powder-coated steel or aluminum for railings along balconies, stairwells, and pool areas. All common areas are treated as public spaces, requiring 42" guardrails and full ADA compliance on accessible routes.
- Commercial & Retail Spaces: Locations like the Cerritos Towne Center or office buildings along the Artesia Boulevard corridor demand railings that manage high traffic and enhance the commercial environment. We install robust steel guardrails, minimalist stainless steel handrails, and high-visibility glass systems that blend security with an open, inviting feel.
- Civic & Institutional Buildings: For public-serving facilities like the Cerritos Millennium Library, City Hall, or local schools, function and absolute code adherence are non-negotiable. We specialize in fabricating and installing ADA-compliant stainless steel and aluminum railings that are built to withstand constant public use while presenting a clean, professional aesthetic.
Visual Context: Design Meets Function
We recommend including a gallery or slideshow of our Cerritos-based projects to help clients see the design range available. From minimalist aluminum railings for civic buildings to ornate wrought iron features for upscale homes, seeing is believing.
