Modern metal railing systems are one of the most popular choices for today’s decks and outdoor spaces. Aluminum and steel railing products offer a clean appearance, low maintenance requirements, and long-term durability in changing weather conditions.

Many homeowners choose aluminum deck railing because it won’t warp, rot, or require constant staining like traditional wood railing. Powder-coated finishes help resist fading and corrosion, while the sleek profiles work well with both modern and traditional homes.

Cable railing systems are also becoming increasingly popular because they provide a more open view without sacrificing safety. Horizontal cable railing offers a modern, minimal look, while vertical cable systems provide a similar appearance with added code-friendly functionality for families and high-traffic spaces.

Cable railing divides into two distinct categories: horizontal cable runs that attach to posts, and vertical cable runs that attach to rails. Both utilize metal supports such as aluminum, though cable infill can also be used with composite railing systems.

• Horizontal Cable Railing is popular for its unobstructed views and clean aesthetic. While it can be more costly and requires precise post positioning, many find the look worth the investment.
• Vertical Cable Railing combines aluminum posts with aluminum-reinforced vertical cable panels. Posts install first, then vertical cable rail kits install between them. This option offers similar visibility to horizontal cable but is more difficult to climb and often more affordable.

Aluminum railings are durable, warrantied against defects such as warping or fading, and attractively priced. Most aluminum systems utilize horizontal top and bottom rails with vertical balusters between, though options like 3-rail systems and drink rails add value and aesthetic appeal.

Composite Railing

Composite railing consists of extruded wood fiber composite coated with cap stock for lasting performance. These systems are robust and fit well with traditional-style homes. Composite railing incorporates various infill options from standard balusters to cable railing and glass. Most composite systems use sleeves that slide over structural posts, with post caps and foot blocks completing the installation.

Stair Railing Kits

Stair railing kits require adjustable components to accommodate varying pitch angles while meeting local building codes. Our stair railing kits include pitch-adjustable brackets and all necessary hardware for proper installation.

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.
