It’s important to have sturdy railings in your home or business for safety’s sake. However, railings can bring much more than safety to the table. With the variety of aluminum railing styles available to consumers, the sky’s the limit when it comes to function and design.
Aluminum Railing Styles
When you’re working on remodeling your home or business, choosing your railings might feel like a minor decision. Sure, you can pick something simple and utilitarian, if that’s what you’re going for. However, most property owners like to choose railings that complement their aesthetic, and bring a pop of design to their outdoor spaces.
If that’s you, you may not be sure what kind of railing to buy. You need a railing that looks good, but you also want a railing that won’t require a ton of maintenance. It’s time for you to take another look at aluminum railing styles.
Why Aluminum Railing?
If you need a simple and affordable railing solution, look no further than aluminum railing. When you compare the advantages of aluminum railing styles to other types of railing, the choice is easy to make:
- Unlike other kinds of railing, aluminum railing is extremely low-maintenance. Since it’s so much more durable than other types of railing, replacements and repairs are rare. Plus, they don’t need to be painted or re-stained. As long as you clean them once a year, they’ll look stunning for decades.
- Aluminum railings are sturdy and safe. Aluminum doesn’t rust or rot, so you know your railings will keep their structural integrity. Aluminum railings also aren’t affected by extreme weather and temperature changes, so they’ll stay exactly where they’re supposed to no matter what the elements bring. You can be confident that your railings will remain secure.
- Best of all, aluminum railings are gorgeous. Because aluminum railings can be painted with powder-coating, there are literally dozens of colors and finishes available to a homeowner. They’re just as beautiful as more traditional metal works, at a fraction of the price. You’re sure to find a style that’s the perfect fit for your home or business.
But how do you know which aluminum railing style is for you? Here are the aluminum railing styles you’ll be able to choose from:
- Two-rail railing is a classic, simple style of railing. With one rail on the top and one rail on the bottom, this railing style will provide support and security without stealing the spotlight from your architecture and landscaping. Check out the Tuscany series of railings, which offers a variety of classic finishes to choose from.
- Three-rail railing is similar to two-rail railing, but with an additional third rail on top to add height and protection. This style allows for additional decorative pops not possible on two-rail railing. For example, the Riviera series of aluminum railings offers a distinctive circular metalwork finish.
- Vertical cable railing looks similar to other styles, but the use of cable instead of traditional vertical railing allows a nearly unimpeded view. An option like the Verticable series is perfect for providing the benefits of the railing without obscuring natural scenery.
- ADA continuous handrails are the right handrail option if you are installing handrails in a home or business that requires Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) compliance. These handrails take the guesswork out of the ADA, with all the benefits and decorative finishes you’d expect from an aluminum handrail.
All of these aluminum railing styles come with the incredible variety of colors, aesthetics, and styling that make them the perfect fit for any home or building project. Take a look through our catalog and see for yourself!
