Choosing an Aluminum Stair Railing

When it comes to choosing an aluminum stair railing, there are several factors that you need to take into account. There are many options to choose from. You can opt for a powder-coat finish or one that has been certified as a superior option by AAMA 2604. Then there are wrought iron, stone and other options as well.

If you are considering aluminum stair railing for your home, then you have two options: powder-coat or AAMA 2604 coating. Each of these is designed to deliver a high performance finish that is durable and maintenance-free.

While the powder-coat is certainly a good choice, the version offers a more durable, higher gloss retention rating. With a limited lifetime warranty, you can rest easy knowing that your investment is protected. Plus, it is also a much better looking product, in a traditional "Breadloaf" shape. DSI's products are verified as AAMA 2604 compliant.

Aluminum Afco-Rail comes in seven durable powdercoat finishes. You can choose from high gloss, satin, matte, and textured finishes. Also, the top rail features baluster connectors that are factory installed, so you won't have to worry about re-powder coating or re-staining.

When it comes to stair railings, there are many options to choose from. You can go with wrought iron or stone/marble. Both provide a sturdy and classic look that will last for years. The advantages and disadvantages of these materials vary depending on your home's design and environment.

Wrought iron railings have long been a favorite in interior designs. These metal posts are highly durable and can provide a sleek and classic look. Metal railings are often painted to match the surrounding walls. They can also be sealed and powder coated for extra protection. However, wrought iron will corrode if exposed to the elements.

Stone/marble is a material that will give your home a more luxurious look. However, these railings require special tools and fasteners to be installed.

Aluminum Stair Railing Kits are designed for DIYers and can be purchased in a variety of finishes. These kits include the top rail, bottom rail, support leg, spacer clips and installation hardware. They are code compliant for stairways and wheelchair ramps.

The Aluminum Railing system offers a durable and reliable way to keep your view intact. It is also very easy to install. This makes it ideal for older individuals and children. And because it is built from powder coated aluminum, it is extremely durable and corrosion resistant.
