How Long Do Aluminium Railings Last? Lifespan & Durability Guide

Railings are a long-term investment — here's what to realistically expect from each material in Indian conditions.

Aluminium

Decades. It doesn't rust; a good powder coat lasts 15–20+ years with basic care.

Glass & Stainless

• Toughened glass: 15–25 years if undamaged.
• SS 316: excellent; SS 304 near coast can pit.

MS / Iron

5–10 years without relentless repainting; rust is the enemy.
