Choosing stylish balusters for your deck's railing

by Chris Fox

Whether your railing is wood, metal, composite or vinyl, you have plenty of options for decorative balusters.

Deckorators pioneered the use of metal balusters and offers the widest array of aluminum balusters in many shapes, styles, colors and sizes. Installing maintenance-free powder coated aluminum balusters on your deck railing system is a great way to add a creative, colorful touch. Deckorators aluminum deck balusters are available in several colors and designs and come with a lifetime warranty on the finish.

You can also find glass balusters from Deckorators or Latitudes (for composite decking) — a particularly appealing option for decks with great views (like pool decking or lake view decking), since the glass allows you to enjoy the scenic setting without the visual obstruction of traditional baluster infills.

Tuesday, September 20, 2011 by Donna:: Why is it that EVERY place we've gone that carries Latitudes railings say that the alumnimum balusters are only available with a wooden post/railing system? No seems to be able to help us and we have been all over southern Massachusetts to no avail.
Tuesday, September 20, 2011 by Chris Fox:: Donna, Latitudes Composite Deck Railing is available in many lumber material dealers in Southern Massachusetts / New England. A Latitudes representative will contact you via email.
Friday, October 14, 2011 by Tom Heiderer:: Do you have any engineer’s reports testing your deck railings when constructed with treated wood?
Monday, October 17, 2011 by Chris Fox:: Deckorators does not have any formal 3rd party testing for all-wood railings. However, we do have stamped engineer drawings for Deckorators balusters used in other railing systems (see documents under "Technical Information" in the Plan & Install / Literature tab): http://www.ufpi.com/literature/CCRR-0161.pdf
