Not only is a beaten-up railing system an eyesore, but it is also much more likely to fail as a safety feature as well. When it comes to reinventing your railing and refreshing the look of your space, you have ample options! We\u2019re highlighting the most popular deck railing styles you can bring home!<\/p>\n
At Smucker Fencing, we\u2019re a Chester County fence company<\/a> that also specializes in installing deluxe railings for decks, patios, stairs, and more. Just like with fencing, you have access to a wide range of different railing types that boast various aesthetics and advantages. Keep reading to check out the leading deck railing styles \u2013 and get your quote to install your favorite today!<\/p>\n\n <\/p>\n All 5 of these railing types are very low maintenance, made of vinyl or metal, and are guaranteed to last for decades without needing to be repainted or re-stained. See the different options, learn a little about each, and find your favorite:<\/p>\n <\/p>\n White Vinyl Railing <\/span> <\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n An elegant and timeless style, white vinyl railings are a very popular upgrade over old painted wooden railings. From a railing color<\/a> standpoint, white vinyl contrasts beautifully against the rich brown of wooden or composite deck boards And keeping them looking new is a simple matter of wiping them down with soap and water. Finally, if you have a vinyl fence in your yard, pairing this deck railing style creates a gorgeous, complementary outdoor aesthetic.<\/p>\n Get a Quote on this Railing ><\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Black Aluminum <\/span> <\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n Another all-time favorite railing type, black aluminum proves to be an extra sturdy safety solution as a piece of modern d\u00e9cor. This railing sees just as much use on staircases as it does in outdoor living spaces \u2013 and it excels in both settings. In the same way that a vinyl rail best matches a vinyl fence, an aluminum fence pairs extremely well with an aluminum railing. Augmenting the convenience factor, a black aluminum railing won\u2019t show dirt, and thus will never need to be cleaned!<\/p>\n Get a Quote on this Railing ><\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Cable Railing <\/span> <\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n When your outdoor space overlooks a breathtaking view, the last thing you want to do is block it out. While black aluminum railings are slim and sleek, cable railing has an even more minimal profile. While there is still a metal frame, the majority of this system is compromised completely of woven metal cables \u2013 which are strong enough to protect against a fall, yet they won\u2019t impact that great view.<\/p>\n Get a Quote on this Railing ><\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Faux Wooden Railing <\/span> <\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n In most cases where we are called to upgrade old railings, we are replacing old and rotting wooden deck railings. While wooden railings are susceptible to both rot and mold, there is a lot to like about the look. That\u2019s why our faux wooden railings offer the color and surface look of wood, yet they\u2019re made of vinyl<\/a> and thus are so much easier to own!<\/p>\n Get a Quote on this Railing ><\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Vinyl Railing with Aluminum Spindles <\/span> <\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n A combination of two other deck railing styles, this option pairs the frame of vinyl railings with the spindles of aluminum ones. This deluxe design is popular due to the two-tone style it creates. From a practical perspective, the aluminum spindles will be slightly slimmer than vinyl, providing a slightly sleeker look. When matching your yard fence, this gives you the flexibility to easily complement either a vinyl or an aluminum fence.<\/p>\n Get a Quote on this Railing ><\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n A popular project that homeowners often choose to tackle with us during the fall and winter, upgrading a railing system is a crucial part of getting an outdoor space ready for the spring and summer. While many homeowners certainly chose to have this renovation at same time as they build a fence, it\u2019s a very worthwhile upgrade on its own.<\/p>\nSmart & Stylish Railing Types <\/strong><\/h2>\n
