Six Distinctive Riviera Railing Styles to Match Your Vision
The Riviera collection includes several unique designs, each with its own baluster arrangement and decorative elements. All styles feature the signature three-rail construction with ¾″ square balusters and are available in both 36-inch and 42-inch heights to meet various building codes and project requirements.
Riviera (C30) establishes the foundation with a sleek three-rail design featuring an open-top section and clean baluster lines. This style delivers contemporary appeal with its straightforward, unadorned aesthetic. Available in 36-inch and 42-inch heights, the Riviera (C30) suits modern architectural designs and minimalist preferences.
Riviera R (C30R) elevates the classic Riviera design by adding decorative rings between the top and mid rail. These elegant accent pieces create a more sophisticated, custom appearance while maintaining the three-rail layout. Choose from 36-inch or 42-inch configurations.
Riviera I (C31) presents a sleek three-rail design with square balusters that create a high-quality, polished appearance.

This distinctive pattern creates an elegant, eye-catching design that stands out from traditional railing systems. Both 36-inch and 42-inch heights deliver this sophisticated look with safety and durability.
Riviera III (C33) creates visual rhythm through its unique top-rail pattern where every third baluster extends to the upper section. This measured, repeating design element adds dimension and character without overwhelming your outdoor space. Available in 36-inch and 42-inch versions for different project specifications.
Riviera IV (C34) is refined and elegant, with every fourth baluster extending to the top rail, producing a delicate, rhythmic aesthetic. This subtle pattern creates sophisticated visual appeal perfect for properties seeking understated luxury. Choose 36-inch or 42-inch styles to complete your architectural vision.
Should Finish Quality Influence Your Riviera Choice?
Nope! All six Riviera railing styles feature the same exceptional finish quality, so you can choose based purely on design preference. Whether you select the minimalist Riviera (C30) or the decorative Riviera II (C32), every style benefits from Westbury’s industry-leading 10-step powder coating process that ensures lasting beauty and protection.
Raw aluminum materials undergo careful inspection to ensure the base is completely free of contaminants and imperfections before coating begins. Then, 20 spray guns apply architectural-grade powder coating to achieve complete, even coverage across every surface. Finally, the coated components enter a 400-degree curing stage where the finish bonds permanently to the aluminum.
This meticulous process creates a textured or non-textured surface that resists fading, chipping, and peeling across all Riviera styles.With 12 standard colors available, your railing choice extends beyond pattern selection — you can also customize the color to perfectly complement your home’s exterior and architectural style.
