Composite deck railing is a type of railing made from a combination of wood and plastic materials. It is designed to provide a strong and durable railing system that is easy to maintain and resistant to the elements. Composite decking materials are often used in outdoor decking applications, as they are more resistant to weather and wear than traditional wood. Composite railing is also typically more affordable than other types of railing, making it a popular choice for many homeowners. Composite decking material is a very popular alternative to natural wood! Using a combination of plastic and wood fibers to create a very natural but low-maintenance product line, composites have become a go-to option when designing the ultimate outdoor deck. These newer technologies come in a variety of colors, grain patterns, styles, and thicknesses. Premium products from top-line manufacturers such as Deckorators and RDI provide true coloring all the way through the boards as opposed to just a top-coating from some lesser manufacturers. This results in stunning railings where scratches are hidden with no stains or fading and excellent resistance to mold, rotting, and weather.
Composite deck railings are perfect for homeowners seeking a balance of beauty and practicality. With their low-maintenance design and resistance to fading, warping, and mold, they’re built to last. At Deck Expressions, we carry top-quality composite deck railing kits that combine durability with style, ensuring your outdoor space looks great for years to come.
