Railing Options for Your Home’s Deck

When exploring your railing options for your home’s deck, there are a handful of choices that will guide your decision making to the right railing system.

Choice 1

Your first choice is the category of railing you’ll need. In a previous post we went through 5 reasons to choose aluminum railing for your property, including: the variety of options, durability, affordability, versatility, and modern design. If you’re looking for a modern railing system, that won’t start rusting or rotting on you, your best choice is aluminum railing.

Choice 2

Assuming you made the – let’s face it – correct choice, your second choice is the type of aluminum railing you’ll want for your deck. You have three great options:

• Glass Railing – Glass deck railings make excellent wind barriers, while allowing for unimpeded view from your deck. Our newest glass railing product is the Series 1100 system, which incorporates an interior grab rail component, allowing it to meet building code requirements as a guard rail.

• Cable Railing – We think the pictures speak for themselves. Our cable railing systems provide a modern look, a structurally sound robust barrier, and high visibility from your deck.

• Picket Railing – Great for projects with an architectural style that’s more traditional. For wood-centric designs, our wood top rail adapter allows you to install a wood that matches the rest of your architecture. Our Picket Railing systems work on decks, stairways, and patios.

Choice 3

Your third choice is the type of mount, post, and durable powder coat finish that you’d like for your railing system. You’ll probably have questions about the mounts and posts, so you can get in touch with one of our experts by calling 1-800-421-6144. You can view our posts and colors below:
