Benefits of Drink Rail Systems

1. Sleek and Modern Design

Drink rails are perfect for any homeowner looking to create a stylish and visually appealing space. With clean lines, smooth finishes, and contemporary materials, drink rails bring a touch of elegance to any deck or patio. The flat surface of the rail provides both functionality and aesthetic appeal. It creates a clean and continuous appearance running over the posts, giving your deck or patio a polished look. Whether you have a traditional or contemporary style, a drink rail can seamlessly fit into any design scheme.

2. Installation

Deck rails connect the decking and railing in a clean and contemporary style. This means no more unsightly gaps or awkward transitions between different parts of your outdoor area. Instead, you will have a cohesive look that adds value to your property. This enhances the overall appearance and ensures safety for everyone using the space.

3. Flexibility

Specifically designed for cable and framed glass railing systems, drink rails provide a great level of flexibility. Whether you install cable railings for an unobstructed view or opt for framed glass panels for added safety without sacrificing visibility, drink rails can help secure these types of railing systems while also maintaining their elegance.

4. Encourage Social Interaction

By positioning guests around a centralized rail rather than at separate tables, people are encouraged to mingle and converse with one another. This layout encourages guests to connect personally at social gatherings. The informal nature of standing at a drink rail also creates a more relaxed atmosphere, allowing guests to feel more comfortable and open in their interactions.

5. Space Utilization

Drink rails provide an additional seating option that maximizes the use of space. Unlike traditional tables and chairs, drink rails take up less room as they are installed on top of your existing railings. This makes them ideal for decks or patios with limited space or those looking to create a more open and modern atmosphere.

We love working with the Vista Team! HF Smith Lumber in Cookstown, Ontario has been a proud stocking dealer since day one, carrying their four top colours. Vista’s quoting program is super easy to use and saves us a ton of time. The sales team is fantastic – always friendly, quick to help, and great to work with! We also love seeing the new products they continue to add. It’s exciting to expand our offerings and keep things fresh for our customers! Keep up the great work

I purchase many different types of items in the building industry and have been at all levels from putting away lumber, customer service management and purchasing at wholesale level. The Vista railing company by far has been the best company to deal with in my entire 41 years in the industry. It’s just unbelievable the support and quality they produce from all levels — from manufacturing, pulling the product, design team and of course the sales support. Railing is a very difficult item for some yards to sell due to the complexity, but Vista makes it real easy with the least complicated quoting system, the Vista planner.
Thank you Team Vista for all you do for me and the industry!!
