How Much do Aluminum Railings Cost?

Aluminum Railings | May 18, 2021

When it comes to choosing a railing system for your deck, there are many types of materials to consider. Though each may offer their own unique characteristics, none can match the versatility and cost-effectiveness of aluminum railing. The aluminum railing products from Vista Railing Systems are designed to offer lasting durability and minimal maintenance requirements, especially when compared to iron or wood railings.

When determining how much aluminum railing cost, many factors can affect the final price. The size of the system and the type of railing being installed have the most significant impact. For example, a large aluminum cable railing system will likely cost more than a small aluminum picket railing system. Though it can be difficult to determine the exact price of each system, it is easy to see the cost advantages they offer.

Cost Advantages of Aluminum Railings

Aluminum railing offers significant cost advantages for any home. Whether you have a small aluminum glass railing system or a large aluminum picket railing system, you will experience the following benefits:

Reduced Maintenance and Repair Requirements

Every aluminum railing system we offer features a premium powder coating that will not require repainting, staining, or sealing throughout its usable life. This coating also minimizes cleaning requirements, especially when compared to wood or iron railing. In addition to being virtually maintenance-free, aluminum railing has an incredible strength-to-weight ratio. This drastically reduces the chance of chipping or bending due to an impact, reducing repair requirements.

Increased Durability and Longer Usable Life

Aluminum railing is incredibly durable, offering the strength of other metals without the high risk of rust. This lack of rust drastically increases durability and extends the total usable life of your aluminum railing system. Aluminum railing is also highly resistant to moisture and extreme temperatures, eliminating the risk of mold or warping associated with wooden railings. Whether you have a picket, cable, or glass railing system, you can be sure that it will last for years.

Simple and Efficient Installation

All aluminum railing options from Vista Railing Systems are designed for simple, straightforward, and efficient installation. Fully pre-assembled posts with factory attached sleeved brackets and pre-drilled and pre-threaded posts for the cable railing system make installation easy and ensures a quality fit. This reduces installation time, saving you money and allowing you to enjoy your view as soon as possible.

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!!
