About Contemporary Aluminum Railing
With its rectangular top rail and square balusters, Deckorators Contemporary Aluminum Railing has a clean, modern profile. Panels are welded and powder coated for scratch and corrosion resistance, and the aluminum is 85% recycled content. Finishes are Textured Black, Textured White and Bronze.
Sections come in 6 and 8 foot lengths at 36 or 42 inches, and stair panels arrive pre-assembled and adjustable. Posts can be the 2-1/2 inch post kit with leveling plate or a 4 inch aluminum post kit, with post extensions available. Deckorators publishes evaluation report CCRR-0280 for the system. The same design is also offered as Contemporary Cable Rail. Accessories include post caps, gate and gate jamb kits, continuous top rail brackets and deck board mounting brackets.
Deckorators backs it with a lifetime limited warranty on manufacturing defects and a 10-year limited warranty for saltwater applications. To quote, send color, height, section count by length, stair runs, posts and gates.
