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.
