Deck Railings
Most deck projects require deck railings, not just for aesthetics but also for safety and comfort. There are many deck railing options for one to choose from.
Deck installers at Ottawa Deck Builders have great experience assembling all types of deck railings.
Best reiling types for decks
One of the most common types of deck railing is an aluminum spindle with aluminum frame railing.
These deck railings are popular among our clients due to their low cost, looks, quality and durability. Besides, this railing requires no maintenance, as the polls do not collect as much dust or dirt, and the pickets of aluminum railings are small in size, meaning they do not block much of the view.
That said, aluminum material is permitted and safe for use in the Ottawa region.
Aluminum and glass railings
Other popular deck railing options are aluminum and glass. These types of railings have aluminum posts, as well as top and bottom rails, yet the infill piece is made from safety-tempered glass. Due to their looks, glass railings usually cost more than picket aluminum railings. To note, aluminum glass railings can be combined with picket aluminum railings used for the stairs.
Alternatively, if are looking for a modern, unique railing that will add aesthetic appeal to your outdoors, you may choose frameless glass railings. The glass is typically ½” thick for such railings. As for installation, frameless glass railings are assembled on small stainless steel clamps attached to the deck’s frame. Keep in mind that frameless glass railings require more maintenance than aluminum railings and are more expensive.
