A deck is just a deck, until you add the railing. This is where your deck gets its style, its panache, its personality. But which railing is the right one for your deck? That’s the question, but the answer isn’t so simple. There are many things you need to consider when selecting the right Color Guard Railing for your deck.

Here are a few of them:

Aluminum or Vinyl: Long lasting durability? Check. Available in multiple colors? Check. Code compliant, and easy to install? Check. Whether you go with aluminum or vinyl railing, you have a product that meets these criteria. Where these two solutions differ mostly is in the looks department. Our Premium Vinyl Railing Collection is just as durable as our Aluminum Railing Collection (primarily because top and bottom rails are reinforced with aluminum), but it looks glossier than our power coated aluminum railing.

True Colors: More than 100 years ago, while discussing the Model T, Henry Ford is famously quoted as saying, “Any customer can have a car painted any colour that he wants, so long as it is black.”

Color has become more important to customers of all industries, including deck railing. We have our standard colors: Vinyl Railing comes in white, tan and clay, while our aluminum railing is available in white, black and bronze.

Ready for a party: There are lots of reasons why people build a deck, but many tell us they do it to give them more space for gatherings of friends and family. For those interested in turning their deck into party central, one solution we offer is drink rail brackets. Available for our Lincoln Aluminum Railing and Florence Vinyl Railing lines, these brackets install easily to give decks a matching modern look with the added convenience of always having a place to set down a drink.

Off the rails: Searching for a railing system to give your deck the ultimate modern look? Many searching for this turn to a cable railing system. They look cool, have a low profile, and still provide code-compliant safety. While we don’t sell the cable portion of this option, we do offer Non-Routed Lincoln Aluminum Straight Rails and Verona and Tuscany Vinyl Rails for third-party cable rail systems.

Made (and supported) in the U.S.A.: We proudly manufacture our products in the U.S. and provide U.S. based product support. Why is this important? Fewer product delays and excellent customer support – it’s a winning combination.
