The internal staircase of a large three-story house in West Caldwell, New Jersey, is anchored by a sophisticated black aluminum cable railing system that exudes contemporary charm. Deck-mounted aluminum posts provide a sturdy framework, topped with a warm wood handrail that adds contrast and character. Beneath the wood, an aluminum post-to-post support rail terminates cleanly at each post, giving the railing a segmented, architectural rhythm. Horizontal stainless steel cables stretch between posts, offering safety without obstructing sightlines. On one end, SC&R’s through-post field swaged tensioner ensures a secure, precise fit; on the other, toggle anchors hide neatly within the post—enabling the use of single corner posts and maintaining a clean, uninterrupted flow. The result is a staircase that serves as both a functional passage and a dramatic interior focal point.
