Deciding on What Foot Rails to Match Your Bar
By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Kalyan_Kumar]Kalyan Kumar
If you're a person fond of gathering family and friends at your home every now and then, having a bar is an ideal option. This small space is a nice alternative to the usual living space or outdoor patio where people normally accommodate small get-togethers on special occasions. At least here, you can serve only drinks and cocktail food instead of the regular meals.
Perhaps you may now be considering putting up a bar in your own home or a restaurant that you manage. That would be a great idea and one that can actually add value to your property. However, other than the structure itself, there's an important component that you need to take into account.
I'm talking about the foot rail, a fixture that will ensure the comfort of your guests whether in a residential or commercial space. Consider this. Isn't it that while at a bar, standing with both feet on the ground is quite tiring compared to having one foot elevated? Or while seated on a high stool, isn't it that you feel uncomfortable with both feet hanging? For sure, you get what I mean.
But with a foot rail to rest your feet on, you can enjoy every moment with your family and friends. You can drink and talk about a lot of things that interest you with other people until the wee hours of the morning if you wish.
For the rail, you have several choices in terms of material. You can choose between wood, wrought iron, bronze, metal and brass depending on your personal preference. Each has its own unique features that will suit every bar in a home. Brass is a popular choice mainly due to its gold-like appearance and mirror finish.
Other than the regular and plain tube style, you can have your foot rail customized. A unique style rarely seen in restaurants is the iron and bronze rope rail with rounded ends. This type is perfect for country clubs and home bars with a country or rustic theme.
Foot rails can be bought in different sizes but they normally come in the tube type with brackets and end caps to complete the fixture. The tubing's diameter and length can vary the reason why it is recommended that you measure your bar area before purchasing your rail.
The brackets are the parts that hold the tubing to keep it in place, well balanced and sturdy. The cap or finial covers both ends of the tubing and this also comes in the plain and decorative types such as the end scroll. This accessory is glued to the rail to hold it firmly.
Accessorize your bar with the best foot rail possible. Deciding on what material to use depends on the style of your bar and your personal preference. If you're not the hands on homeowner or business owner, get someone who can get the proper measurements before you order your foot rail. This way, you save time and money and you are assured of a great looking bar.
