Ochsner Kenner Railings Highlighted by Hollaender


In their June email newsletter Hollaender Railing System featured the completed Louisiana Medical Center, Kenner designed by HMS Architects for Ochsner Health Systems. As described by Hollaender, some of our exterior railing concerns included having "issues with traditional welded and painted steel systems of the past. They have observed that repainting the top rails of painted railings cost from $5 to $50 per lineal foot every three to five years. To avoid these problems HMS selected Hollaender's anodized aluminum Interna-Rail railing system with electro-coated/powder coated steel wire mesh infill panels. The anodized aluminum withstands pedestrian traffic much better than painted steel..." HMS Architects are pleased to have such a successful project featured by a manufacturer, highlighting our efforts to bring the best life cycle value to our clients.
