Construction and Materials
The Deckorators railing system is engineered for durability and aesthetic appeal, providing a robust and stylish finishing touch to any deck or outdoor living space. The core construction utilizes high-strength aluminum, a material chosen for its inherent resistance to corrosion and weathering, ensuring longevity even in demanding outdoor environments. This aluminum framework serves as the structural backbone, offering stability and support for the various infill options and top rails.
Construction Details:
- Posts: Deckorators offers robust posts designed to securely anchor the railing system. These posts are typically constructed from extruded aluminum, providing substantial strength and stability.
- Rails: The top rail and bottom rail are also manufactured from extruded aluminum. These components are engineered to connect seamlessly to the posts and support the infill material. The design often incorporates a channel or groove to accommodate different infill types.
- Balusters/Infill: A variety of infill options are available, allowing for customization to match any design preference. These can include:
- Aluminum Balusters: Offered in various styles, shapes, and colors, these balusters are lightweight yet strong, providing a classic railing look.
- Cable Railing: Stainless steel cables are tensioned between the posts, offering a sleek, modern, and unobstructed view.
- Glass Panels: Tempered glass panels provide a high-end, minimalist aesthetic, maximizing visibility and light flow.
- Composite Balusters: Some systems may incorporate composite materials for infill, offering a wood-like appearance with enhanced durability.
- Hardware: All necessary fasteners and brackets are included, typically made from corrosion-resistant materials like stainless steel or coated alloys to ensure secure assembly and long-term performance.
Materials Used:
- Extruded Aluminum: The primary material for posts, rails, and some baluster options. Its high strength-to-weight ratio and resistance to rust and corrosion make it ideal for outdoor applications.
- Stainless Steel: Used for cable infill systems and in hardware components, offering superior strength and exceptional corrosion resistance.
- Tempered Glass: For glass panel infill, providing safety, durability, and a premium aesthetic.
- Composite Materials (Potentially): May be used for certain infill options or decorative elements, offering a blend of wood aesthetics and weather-resistant performance.
- Powder Coating: The aluminum components are typically finished with a high-quality powder coating. This provides a durable, attractive color layer that further enhances resistance to UV rays, chipping, and fading.
The Deckorators railing system emphasizes a modular design, allowing for flexible installation and the creation of a personalized railing solution. The materials are selected for their inherent durability, low maintenance requirements, and ability to withstand the elements, ensuring a beautiful and functional railing for years to come.
