Things to Know When Buying Aluminum Railings

Aluminum Railings | October 29, 2020

Choosing the right railings for your deck can help improve the overall aesthetic of your home while also ensuring that your deck space is safe for everyone to enjoy. At Vista Railings, we want to help you select the best aluminum railings for your unique requirements. That is why our team of railing experts has put together a list of some of the different things to know when buying aluminum railings to help you make an informed decision.

Things to Consider Before Buying Aluminum Railings

Some of the things that you should consider before buying aluminum railings include:

1. Cost

It is important to keep in mind that not all aluminum railings will cost the same and that railings are a long-term investment that will help enhance your property, so choosing the cheapest option is not always the best solution. While aluminum tends to be the most affordable railing material on the market, the cost of the exact railings you want to purchase will vary depending on the design of the railing, as well as the length of the railing. It is also a good idea to take into consideration how much it will cost to have the railing installed on your deck by a professional.

2. Design

Whether you are planning on installing aluminum railings on the front porch or on the back deck, the design and structure of the railings you choose should help improve the overall aesthetic of the house. When selecting the best railings for your home, make sure to look for a design that ties into the overall look and feel of your home for a more cohesive finished result.

3. Maintenance

High-quality aluminum railings are a great option for decks of all shapes and sizes because they require very little upkeep in order to remain looking beautiful for years to come. Since aluminum railings are powder coated, they will never need to be painted and they will never rust. In the event that aluminum railings become dirty, they can simply be washed with soap and water to return them to like-new condition.

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!!
