railing is the first thing neighbors see when they peek over the fence to
check out your new premium composite decking being installed. Picking the right railing
isn’t just about making a good first impression — it’s a chance to show o your style.
We want to help you decide what railing works best for you. We know you’ve got the
style component covered, so we’ve put together a cheat sheet to help you decide if
composite railing or aluminum railing is right for you.
LOW-MAINTENANCE
Covered by four-sided cap, all composite railing
options eliminate annual sanding, staining,
sealing, and painting.
LOW-MAINTENANCE
With a long-lasting powder coated surface,
there’s no corrosion or breakdowns like there
are with traditional wood railing.
MOISTURE-RESISTANT
Our cap contains zero organic materials,
meaning it repels mold, mildew, and harmful
moisture that warps and ruins traditional wood.
MOISTURE-RESISTANT
Generally considered more durable and
moisture-resistant, aluminum is an ideal
choice for moisture-rich environments.
STRONG & STURDY
Composite railing stands the test of time
against fading, staining, scratching — and
won’t rot, crack, or warp.
STRONG & DURABLE
Aluminum allows homeowners with
particular concerns about durability to
have stylish, rail options.
VALUE ADDED OVER TIME
Although the initial cost of composite railing
may be higher, compared to the cost of
ongoing maintenance required for wood rail, a
composite rail can end up paying for itself.
CLEAN SIGHTLINES
Aluminum railing offers unencumbered views
of your environment. Plus, you can rest easy
knowing aluminum maintains its shape and
dimension throughout extreme heat or cold.
ENVIRONMENTALLY-FRIENDLY
We make sure to do the right thing by
producing composite railing products made
from up to 50% recycled materials.
EASIER TO INSTALL
Not only is it beautiful to look at but it’s easier
to install than most rails.
