Metal Deck Railings
There are many advantages to using a metal railing when building your dream deck:
- Cost-Effective – over time, the metal railings will save you money in repair and maintenance.
- Low Maintenance – once installed, a railing constructed entirely of metal will not require sanding and staining as is needed with a wood railing.
- Warranty – Metal railings usually come with a 15-year limited warranty (with aluminum railings offering up to a lifetime warranty). The limited warranty also “covers cracking, peeling, and blistering of the finish”.
- Easily Customizable – Manufacturers offer numerous options in railings, railing tops, balusters, post caps, etc., giving you seemingly unlimited ways to customize your railing.
- View – because metal railings are typically built using thinner balusters than wood railings, this allows for a less obstructed view. Also available are cable and glass railing options, which provide an even better view from your new custom built deck.
