What is an Aluminum Picket Railing?

Aluminum Railings | April 6, 2021

Are you looking to add a railing to your home or update your current system? If so, knowing what an aluminum picket railing system is will help you choose the best option for your needs. An aluminum picket railing system consists of high-strength aluminum rails, posts, and pickets or balusters. The pickets are spaced apart in a vertical pattern, making them a safe option for nearly any setting. These components are exceptionally durable, easy to maintain, and have a long usable life, making them a superior option to iron systems. At Vista Railing Systems, we provide complete aluminum picket railing systems for decks and patios of all shapes and sizes. Our experts will work with you to determine the optimal system for your exact needs.

Why Choose an Aluminum Picket Railing?

There are many benefits of aluminum picket railing systems and aluminum railing gates that make them a great choice for nearly any home or building. These benefits include:

Longer Life, Less Maintenance

Every powder-coated aluminum picket railing system we provide is built to last. Iron, steel, wood, and other materials tend to require extended periods of maintenance to ensure that they do not rust or rot. Aluminum picket railing systems feature a powder-coated finish that protects them from corrosion. This finish not only extends the usable life of the system but also makes it easy to clean when needed. These benefits are some of the many reasons that aluminum picket railings are used for condo buildings and townhouse complexes.

Options for Every Home

Aluminum picket railing systems are available in regular or wide-picket options based on preference and visibility requirements. Each system is also available in a variety of colours to match the colour scheme of your home. Our experts can work with you to determine the optimal solution for your specific vision.

Simple Installation

Installation of wood or steel systems can be time consuming and costly due to the amount of labour required. Our aluminum picket railing systems are lightweight and have been precision engineered for easy installation in any location. This ensures that you are getting a durable system in less time, allowing you to sit back and enjoy the view.

Compliance with National Building Codes

If you are looking to have an aluminum picket railing system installed on your deck or balcony, it needs to meet or exceed national building codes. That is why our regular and wide-picket aluminum railing systems are designed and tested to meet or exceed national building code requirements in the U.S. and Canada.
