Cable Railing

  • Cable Railing can be divided into two distinct categories: horizontal cable runs that attach to posts, and vertical cable runs that attach to rails. Cable Railing typically utilizes metal supports, such as aluminum, but can also be used with composite railing. Both horizontal and vertical cable railing have their own advantages and disadvantages.
  • Horizontal Cable Railing is one of the most popular looks, as it is easy to see through and maintain. It is aesthetically pleasing, but can be quite costly. Additionally, it can be difficult to accurately quote and it is essential to position posts correctly.
  • Vertical Cable Railing is more akin to traditional railing types, combining aluminum posts with aluminum-reinforced vertical cable panels. Posts are installed first, then vertical cable rail kits can be installed between posts. Vertical Cable has a similar level of visibility as horizontal, but it is more difficult to climb and is often more affordable than horizontal cable.

Aluminum Railing

  • Aluminum-type railings are durable, are warranted against defects such as warping or fading, and have an attractive price. The best-priced Aluminum Railings utilize horizontal top and bottom rails with vertical balusters or pickets between, however, other options such as 3-rail, and additional drink rail are available to add value and aesthetics.
  • Aluminum Railing describes mostly the rail kits themselves, as many other styles of cable infill also use aluminum rails and posts. Below are the top Aluminum Railing Systems we carry. Be sure to look for railing brochures for all available components.

Composite Railing

Composite type railing consists of extruded wood fiber composite coated with a cap stock for an effective and lasting handrail. Composite railings are typically more robust and fit well with traditional-style houses. TimberTech is one of the largest manufacturers in composite; however other products have done well in the market. Composite railing can incorporate a variety of infill options from standard ¾ inch balusters to horizontal cable railing, composite balusters, and even glass. Composite rails still need to attach to posts though. Composite posts used to be a popular product, but for several reasons including cost, weight and design, Composite sleeves are standard. Most composite sleeves are adapted to fit over a 4x4. If you are looking for the least maintenance, structural newel posts made from iron and high-density plastics allow for face mounting of posts and are easily sleeved. Other newel posts like cedar 4x4s and even treated 4x4s work well with composite sleeves. Once newel posts are installed, composite sleeves can be slid over, with the post skirt. The rails and infill can then be attached to the sleeve and post. Post Caps and foot blocks are then added to complete the railing.
