What is Aluminum Railing？

Aluminum railing is one of the most durable options you can choose to install in your outdoor living space. It is designed to withstand harsh weather conditions and won’t rust, splinter, or warp over time. The naturally strong and light-weight properties of aluminum make it easy to handle and structurally reliable in nearly any environment.
Aluminum railing options are engineered for design flexibility and easy installation. Powder-coated for increased durability in the most extreme weather conditions and constructed with our proprietary noise-reducing technology low maintenance railing system in the exact style you love.

Benefits of Aluminum Railing

Lightweight
One of the biggest advantages of aluminum railing is how lightweight the material is. That means you’ll usually have an easier time transporting and installing it for your outdoor living project.

Durability and Strength
Since aluminum is often used in consumer products like soda cans, you might assume the material is fragile; however, it’s actually is very durable and can even stand up to some of the toughest weather conditions. With one of the highest strength-to-weight ratios of deck railing materials, you’ll have peace of mind knowing that it can handle heavy-duty applications.

Low Maintenance
Aluminum railing is also highly regarded for its low maintenance. The powder-coating protects the material to help maintain its condition against the elements. Cleaning aluminum deck railing only requires a little soap and water.

Eco-Friendly
Aluminum is an eco-friendly material that can be recycled. If environmental considerations are important to your outdoor living project, aluminum is worth considering.

Type of Aluminum Railing

01.

Porch Railing

They can be either freestanding or attached to your porch. Aluminum porch railings are a great option because they are low-maintenance and will not rot or rust. When choosing a railing for your porch, be sure to consider the height of your porch and the design of your home.

02.

Stair Railing

If you have stairs leading up to your deck or porch, you will need a stair railing. Stair railings are higher than porch railings required by most building codes. Aluminum stair railings are a great option because they offer strength and durability without being too heavy.

03.

Guardrail

A guardrail is a railing installed around the perimeter of a deck or porch. Most building codes require guardrails for decks and porches more than 30 inches off the ground. Aluminum guardrails are a great option because they offer strength and durability at a cost-effective price point.

04.

Deck Railing

They can be either freestanding or attached to your deck. Aluminum deck railings are a great option because they offer strength and durability without being too heavy. When choosing railings for your deck, be sure to consider the height of your deck and the size of your home for ease of install and proper fit.

Aluminum vs. Wood

Cost:
Aluminum deck railing systems, while initially pricier, prove worth it in the long run because of its lower material and installation costs. On the other hand, wood railings may be more affordable to start, but their long-term cost is increased by the amount of maintenance they need.

Taking care of wood over time can be expensive. This includes tasks like staining, sealing, and fixing. These costs can outweigh the initial savings of using cheaper wood.

Durability:
Aluminum railings are a robust choice for durability, showcasing resistance to corrosion, rust, and decay. The minimal maintenance they demand further accentuates their longevity.

In contrast, wood railings, while possessing a natural aesthetic charm, are more susceptible to the forces of nature. Vulnerable to rot, insects, and warping, wood requires consistent upkeep for sustained longevity. Regular tasks such as sealing and staining are imperative to shield wood from the elements, making maintenance a crucial factor in preserving the product over time.

The Difference Between Aluminum & Stainless Steel Railing Systems

Aluminum and stainless steel are the two most common metals that you’ll see in modern railing or cable railing applications. Each of them are durable, strong, and beautiful if they used in the right ways. Stainless steel is much stronger than aluminum, inch-for-inch. This is due to stainless steel’s higher density, which we’ll get into in the next section.

Steel vs Aluminum Deck Railing Posts & Systems
We should note that virtually all horizontal infills, like rod and cable railing, are made from stainless steel since the small diameter of the infill needs the strength of a stainless steel. The rest of this article is concerned with the performance of the posts on a modern railing system.

Weight
Stainless steel is an extremely dense material, coming in at about 8 g/m3. While this means it’s going to be able to support larger loads with less material, it also means that it will be much heavier. While this extra strength may come in handy in niche scenarios, it is usually overkill for residential and commercial railing applications.

Aluminum, conversely, is about 2.7 g/m3, making it about 3x lighter than stainless steel. Usually, that difference is alleviated by using a thicker walled post in aluminum than stainless steel. But that wall thickness is usually only 20%-40% greater than that of stainless steel. This ends up meaning that aluminum posts, while having a greater wall thickness than stainless steel, end up being about half the weight.

Cost
The final factor to consider is the cost of the materials. Stainless steel commands a much higher market price than aluminum does, putting it out of budget for many projects. Aluminum is far more commodified and thus cheaper to obtain than stainless steel, making it a more prevalent option for most railing projects.

Process of Aluminum Railing

Preparation
Did you know that aluminum railings not only enhance the aesthetic appeal of your deck but also provide a durable and low-maintenance solution?

To install aluminum railings, gather the necessary tools, such as a measuring tape and a saw. Accurate measurements are crucial to ensure a proper fit. Prepare the installation area by clearing debris and guaranteeing a stable deck surface.

Gather the Necessary Tools and Materials
To install aluminum railings on your deck, gather the necessary tools and materials such as aluminum railings, mounting brackets, screws or bolts, a drill or screwdriver, and a measuring tape. Ensure you have everything at hand before starting the installation process.

Take Accurate Measurements
Measure the length of the installation area using a tape measure, ensuring that you have accurate dimensions for your aluminum railings. Determine the height of the railings by considering safety regulations and personal preference. Mark where each post will be placed along the deck, creating a clear guide for installation.

Prepare the Installation Area
Clean and prepare the surface for installation by removing any debris or dirt. Ensure there are no obstacles that may hinder the installation process. Secure any loose boards or handrails that may affect the stability of the aluminum railing during installation.

Installation
Attach the mounting brackets to the desired location on your deck or porch using the screws provided. Ensure they are level and secure before moving on to the next step.
Next, install the posts by sliding them into the brackets and tightening them. Please ensure they are upright and stable before proceeding with the installation process.

Attach the Mounting Brackets
Gather a drill, screws, and measuring tape.
Measure and mark the placement of the mounting brackets on your desired railing height.
Position each bracket securely against the wall or post using screws to secure them in place. Ensure they are level before proceeding.

Install the Posts
Determine the placement and spacing of each post carefully, ensuring that they are evenly distributed along the railing. Use a level to ensure the posts are perfectly straight before proceeding.
Dig holes for each post, ensuring they are deep enough to provide stability and support. The depth will depend on soil conditions and local building codes.
Set the posts in concrete, securing them firmly in place. Allow sufficient time for the concrete to cure completely before moving on to the next step. This will ensure maximum strength and durability for your aluminum railings.

Cleaning and Caring for Aluminum Railing

1. Light cleaning

Light cleaning and caring for aluminum railing is a cinch! For everyday dirt and debris that hasn’t been washed away by rain showers, mix a bucket of hot water with a mild, non-abrasive soap and wipe down the railing with a soapy soft sponge or rag. This works best on an overcast day, so a soapy film doesn’t dry quickly on a hot afternoon. Rinse with a water hose.

2. Heavy-duty spot cleaning

You can mix a heavy-duty cleaning solution for grimier, hard-to-remove dirt, mud, or mildew. Use ⅓ cup of powdered laundry detergent, ⅔ cup of a household cleaner (like Simple Green), and one gallon of water.
Be sure to mix these quantities properly, or you could damage the finish on the aluminum railing. Also, rinse each section quickly with a water hose, and do not allow the cleaning solution to dry on the railing.

3. Pressure Washing

Many question whether cleaning and caring for aluminum railing includes pressure washing – namely, is it safe? Aluminum railing is durable and will not be damaged by pressure washing, is performed correctly.

4. Inspect fasteners

Check over fasteners for any rust or any that have become loose and need tightening. You can apply wax to help prevent rust.Aluminum railings are durable, cost-effective solutions for your residential and commercial needs.

Easy Installation Tips for Aluminum Railings

Plan Your Project
Before installing your new aluminum railings, it is crucial to plan your project carefully. Make sure to measure the perimeter of your deck to determine the amount of railing material you will need. Also, make sure to consider the layout of the posts to ensure they provide adequate support, stability, and even spacing.

Check Local Building Codes
One mistake to avoid is not learning about local codes. Each municipality has specific codes that dictate the requirements for deck railings, including height, spacing, and structural integrity. Make sure you are familiar with these regulations before you install your new railings to ensure they meet all safety standards.

Prepare Your Tools and Materials
Gather all the necessary tools and materials before you start. Having everything on hand will streamline the installation process and reduce the time spent searching for tools midway through the job.

Assemble the Railings
If you are using a railing system from, the assembly will be straightforward, as all components are designed to fit together seamlessly. Start by laying out the placement of the posts. It is important to note that posts must be secured through the deck surface into the substructure. Next comes the railing (top and bottom), section by section. After the railing is secure, you will begin with the infill for each section whether it is pickets, glass, a combination of both, or cable railings, carefully insert the infill according to the manufacturer’s instructions, ensuring that they are securely in place and evenly spaced.

Final Adjustments
Once all sections are installed, go through and make any necessary adjustments. Check that all fasteners are tight and that the railings are stable and secure. It is also a good idea to inspect the entire assembly for any sharp edges or uneven sections.
