Aluminum Railing For Decks and Staircases


When choosing materials for your new outdoor room, whether a deck, patio, or screen room, there are many products on the market. You will want to consider attractiveness and price, but you should also take into account its longevity and ease of care. It’s not just about the decking, but also the railing. Composite brands usually have matching railing, but it may not always be the best choice for you.
 
Consider the advantages of powder coated aluminum for outdoor applications:

  It won’t rust.

  The powder coated finish is long lasting.

  It’s lightweight and easy to handle.

  It’s easily cut using a miter saw giving the installer flexibility to make adjustments on-site.

  It won’t rot.

  There are no pesticides or chemical treatment necessary.

  It has minimal expansion and contraction in changeable temperatures.

  It won’t splinter, fade, or crack.

 

The Heartlands railing and screen channel system is a great powder-coated extruded aluminum system for screen rooms and decks. It can be ordered in many standard and custom colors.

We also recommend the Westbury railing system for decks. It is available in several classic styles and standard powder-coated colors and is both attractive and affordable. They make one that includes glass instead of balusters if you really want to enjoy a clear view.

For a standard height single retractable screen door, our installed price is $450. The installed price on a set of standard height retractable screen doors for French doors is $800. There is a $40 up charge to get (pet resistant) super screen or solar screen and for taller doors, but there are no “special” installation up charge surprises. Yes, this price is higher than our competitors, but you have to consider you are not comparing equal products. The Clearview retractable screen doors come standard with a back plate (necessary for sliding door installations), hidden magnets inside the pull bar on French door applications, and most importantly, the built-in mechanical speed reducer.
