Types of Railing Systems:
CABLE RAILING
Cable railing systems have grown in popularity for their sleek, modern design. Available in both vertical and horizontal configurations, they offer a contemporary look while preserving open sightlines and enhancing your view.
Wood railings provide a timeless, classic appeal that complements traditional deck designs. Popular wood options for railings include cedar, redwood, and pressure-treated lumber (typically pine), all of which offer durability and a natural aesthetic suited to a variety of home styles.
Glass panel railings offer a seamless view that highlights your property and surroundings. Known for their pleasing design, these systems are a popular choice for homeowners seeking a more sophisticated look.
Metal railings are valued for their strength, durability, and minimal maintenance requirements. Available in a variety of materials—including steel, iron, and powder-coated aluminum—they offer both functionality and a clean, modern aesthetic.
Composite railings offer a cost-effective alternative to traditional wood, combining the look and feel of natural wood with the benefits of modern materials. Available in a variety of colors, they provide long-lasting appeal with minimal maintenance, making them a practical and attractive choice for any deck.
Vinyl railings provide a durable yet lightweight solution for your deck. Vinyl materials, like PVC, are highly customizable, resistant to the elements, and require minimal maintenance, making them an excellent choice for long-term performance and style.
