Advantage Rail
TimberTech Advantage Rail is a mid-level composite railing in level and stair kits with SPEEDLoc side-load balusters, made to pair with any TimberTech decking.
About Advantage Rail
Advantage Rail sits in the middle of TimberTech's railing lineup. It is a composite railing system, with aluminum baluster options, sold as level and stair kits, in Matte White, Matte Black or Matte Espresso. SPEEDLoc balusters load from the side, and the brackets are hidden with no visible routing, so the finished rail looks clean.
Kits come in 6 or 8 foot lengths at 36 or 42 inch heights, and stair kits fit 32 to 38 degree stairs. Choose square balusters or black round aluminum balusters. Post sleeves are offered in 4×4, 5×5 and 5.5×5.5, with matching skirts and caps. Add-ons include drink rail, 22.5 and 45 degree adapters, the Secure Mount Post, ADA Handrail, Rail Gate Kit and rail lighting. It works with all TimberTech decking. For waterfront projects, TimberTech advises checking local code and using corrosion-resistant hardware.
TimberTech provides a 25-year limited warranty, which excludes corrosive exposure such as salt water. To quote, send color, baluster type, height, kit counts, stair runs and post sleeve size.
