Your Phoenix Aluminum Deck Railing Experts
Mold growth on exterior porch railing and decking materials is a common problem in Phoenix, especially in cooler months. Primarily this issue arises when a porous substrate such as wood becomes saturated. This leads to a failure of the paint or stain, creating an environment conducive to mold growth. While some paint manufacturers have developed mold resistant coatings, even the best still have a limited life span.
Is there a better solution for railing in Arizona?
While several alternatives exist, we have found powder coated aluminum railings provide the best combination of durability, style and price. Aluminum railings have several distinct advantages. Because the aluminum is a non-porous structure, the paint lasts many times longer than a wood railing. Additionally, the aluminum provides a very low maintenance surface, requiring only a periodic cleaning.
What about the aluminum railing kits available at the local hardware store?
While many hardware stores in the Phoenix region sell do-it-yourself kits, there are several key shortcomings. The biggest detraction is the lack of stability found in these models. Because they are bolted together on-site, the units are much less sturdy than their welded counterparts. While this doesn't have much affect from an aesthetic standpoint, the flimsy nature of these railings is quite apparent when you lean against the rail.
Where can I purchase aluminum railing in Phoenix?
We primarily recommend Rail Works. They provide high quality custom aluminum railing solutions for residential and commercial applications across Arizona.
