Posted by kelvin smith on April 12th, 2017

Designing the interiors has a vast scope for creativity and that is beautifully reflected in different kinds of railing systems for stairs, porch and decks. Not only is it a visual treat to look at such striking designs, it’s a way to make your interior as well as exterior space more safe for kids.

You can find a variety of options when you go out to choose a railing system for your home. There is the evergreen aluminum, vintage and old-school wood, low-maintenance vinyl, or even the modern glass railings. There is a need to put good thought into deciding a suitable railing that would suit your specific needs and style.

It is hard to make a judgment so to ease the decision, here’s a deeper look at the top trending railing systems in the market today:

Aluminum railing:

- Superior quality: The superiority of aluminum railing systems can’t be argued as they offer a perfect balance of style and durability. Aluminum is corrosion resistant, high-on-strength, tolerant against harsh weather, lightweight and has virtually no maintenance costs.

- Durability: When you look at it from a structural point of view, it doesn’t rot or decay like wood; unlike steel, it’s rust-resistant; and it doesn’t crack in the cold like PVC.

- Esthetics: Aluminum allows great deal of flexibility on the aesthetics which is absent in other materials used to design railings. Aluminum has higher availability of stock shapes and a customer can use his/her discretion in designing the railing for the deck, balcony, porch or stairs.

Glass railing:

- Uninterrupted View: When you pay a massive amount for a home with a beautiful view, you don’t want it to be blocked by railings. Glass railings are aptly called “invisible railings” as these don’t break or block the view. In fact, these work like a picture frame and showcase the scenery.

- Luxury & Value: It is the easiest way to add both luxury and value to your home. Glass provides elegance and sophistication blending in with any style of exteriors and adds to the total value of the property.

- Zero-maintenance: It doesn’t need to be stained, treated, painted or finished to maintain the beauty and durability. Weathering is inevitable with other materials but not with glass. Besides regular cleaning with soap and water, it has no maintenance expenses.

In the long list of railing systems; quality aluminum and glass railing systems are two of the best options available to homeowners.
