5 Tips for Choosing the Right Deck Railing



Railings provide stability, which is especially important for young children, the elderly, and people with disabilities. Some people like to lightly graze railings with their hands just in case they need extra support or balance. The railing also increases the curb appeal of your space. Selecting railing color and style should be fun, but it also can be overwhelming considering the myriad options available. Listed below are 5 tips for choosing the right deck railing.

Choose The Right Railing Height
Height is one of the most important things when it comes to deck railing. Though the local building codes will only have the final word in deciding the height, railings typically range between 36 to 42 inches tall. Something below this height will be unsafe and something above that will block your vision. So, it is always advisable to maintain height.

Select The Best Material
When choosing to rail, look for high-performance and low-maintenance materials, so that you’ll be able to spend more time relaxing on your deck rather than maintaining it. Although a classic option, wood railing requires frequent staining and sealing and is prone to rot and decay. Glass also requires a lot of upkeep, while the iron is heavy and can be difficult to install. Whereas the wood-plastic composites offer durable, attractive and versatile options that are easy to work with and maintain.

Ask The Experts
While you have a wide variety of options to choose from you can take the help of the experts. You can consult your contractor or the sales representatives.

Coordinate 
You can never go wrong by selecting railing in the same shade as your decking, such as dark brown railing for a dark brown deck. This creates a cozy, well-coordinated look.

Showcase Your Style
You can let the creativity flow by picking the most appropriate color and twisting it by lighting it up. You can consider LED dimmable options to maximize energy efficiency.
