(BPT) – Railing is a necessary part of any deck: not just for safety, but also to make an immediate style statement. Here are eight on-trend railing styles sure to enhance any outdoor space:
1. Cable Railing
A modern and popular option among today’s homeowners, cable railing is appreciated for its durability and minimalism. The Trex Signature® X-Series™ features a view-optimizing cable offering that is also easy to maintain.
2. Composite Railing
Much like composite decking, composite railing is an excellent choice for homeowners looking to maximize curb appeal with minimal upkeep. It won’t warp, rot, peel or splinter and never needs to be sanded, stained or sealed.
3. Rod Railing
Sleek, sturdy and undeniably modern, rod rail is a more robust alternative to cable railing and an ideal choice for trendy deck owners looking to add a touch of modern farmhouse flair.
4. Cocktail Railing
Popular with entertainers, cocktail railing (also known as “drink rail”) features a flat top rail, perfect for resting things like a morning cup of coffee, a plate of appetizers or potted plants for a pop of color!
5. Mesh Infill
Featuring a subtle grid-like design, mesh panels offer a happy medium between vertical and horizontal infill and are great for enhancing views. Corrosion-resistant material ensures that this Trex Signature railing will provide excellent views for years to come without compromising on style.
6. Glass Infill
Always in style, glass railing is beloved for being a chic and sophisticated choice that delivers virtually unobstructed, picture-perfect views.
7. Mixed Materials
Can’t decide between all the possible railing materials? Go ahead and mix things up! This combination of metal and composite creates a stylish frame for any outdoor oasis.
8. Rail Lighting
Looking for some extra oomph? Rail lights are a great add-on to any deck railing, whether you’re looking to enhance safety or simply add some atmospheric “ahhh”mbiance.
