Railings
Choose from a diverse selection of railing options that perfectly complement your deck's design, whether you prefer the timeless elegance of wood, the modern sophistication of metal, or the transparency of glass infill. Our offerings include intricate baluster patterns, sleek cable railings, and innovative multimedia railings, all tailored to reflect your unique style preferences while ensuring the highest standards of safety and durability.
Deck railings are essential for safety, but they can also enhance the beauty of your home. When choosing the right materials for your family, consider the various options available. While steel is becoming less common, aluminum is rising in popularity due to its durability. Classic choices like wrought iron and cedar will always have their charm, but many families are opting for aluminum, composite, and multimedia railings for modern appeal.
​
When deciding on a railing system, think about whether to use surface-mounted or face-mounted posts, depending on your building surface. Face-mounted systems are great for maximizing space, making them ideal for family gatherings and outdoor activities.
The infill is the most prominent feature of your railing system, playing a crucial role in both visibility and design. While the posts and top cap are important, the choice of infill will greatly influence how much you can see through your railing. For open spaces where unobstructed views are a priority, options like hog wire, cable, or glass infill provide safety without sacrificing visibility.
​
Conversely, if you're looking for a bit more privacy without committing to a full privacy screen, vertical or horizontal pickets can create a sense of seclusion while still allowing for airflow and visibility. This balance ensures your home remains a welcoming space for family gatherings and everyday enjoyment.
