Wood Railings.
For a classic look you can’t beat the warmth of wood railings. Wood railings help add a warmth to your backyard and tie in seamlessly with your decking or other outdoor structures.
The natural look and feel of wood grain comes at a price though; they require regular maintenance to prevent them from rotting over time.
Premier can help design a wood railing that fits your look perfectly, even combining a wood frame and handrail with aluminum/steel spindles or glass panels.
Talk to our designers to discuss all the available options for wood railings.
Aluminum Glass Canadian-Made Railings.
Aluminium glass railings provide your deck with a superior, high-quality look while maintaining functionality and safety.
Aluminum glass railings come with aluminum, powder coated posts to prevent cracking or rust for a lifelong quality finish.
Our glass panels are made from the highest quality tempered safety glass, like what is used on your car windows.
The glass panels between the posts can be installed with or without an aluminum handrail or base rail, depending on the system chosen (frameless glass railings).
Aluminium glass railings are durable and can withstand harsh climates with heavy snow and rain loads. But they do require some maintenance and regular cleaning, especially if you have heavy traffic, small children, or pets. The biggest advantage to an aluminum glass railing deck system is the ability to see through the railings and therefore not block the view from your seated area.
Aluminum Picket Canadian-Made Railings.
The standard looks for an aluminum railing, pickets are a more economical way to add a railing to your deck.
Aluminium picket railings are corrosion resistant and finished with a powder-coat finish to prevent cracking and chipping for a lifelong quality finish and require very little maintenance.
In fact, besides an annual cleaning and wipe down, they are a maintenance free option with a long lifetime of enjoyment.
Aluminum pickets also offer a sturdy, classic look to your deck design and can still be capped with a wood handrail or set between wood posts for some warmth.
Frameless Glass Ontario-Made Railings.
(Fascia Glass Railing) Frameless glass railings are a durable and safe railing solution as this system does not have a top or bottom frame which, prevents children and pets from climbing on the railing system.
Frameless glass railings also help minimize snow accumulation and wind on your deck by providing a solid barrier from the wind.
There are a large variety of support posts, clamps, and other materials used to support the panel system and Premier can help you find the perfect combination for the look you are trying to achieve.
Like aluminum glass railings, these will require regular cleaning in high traffic households.
Composite Railings & Vinyl USA-Made Railings.
Composite and Vinyl railings are very similar in look and appearance.
Both offer extreme durability, and both require very little maintenance aside from cleaning. Composite railing systems are made from the same composite material as composite decking.
Both vinyl and composite provide unparalleled mold and mildew protection and is resistant to stains, insect infestations and scratches.
They are available in a huge selection of colours, contours, and shapes to match almost any design from modern to classic.
Canadian-Made Cable Railings.
Cable railings offer an unobstructed view like glass panel systems but with a lot less cleaning and maintenance.
Cable railing systems are available for decks under 24” high or 24” off the ground. Unlike glass panels, they don’t block the wind or snow from your deck but are a great option when you want that nice breeze to run across your deck.
Cable railing systems also come in a wide variety of options. You can get vertical cables, horizontal cables, you can add a wood handrail or combine it with other systems.
Cable railing systems withstand exposure to all harsh weather climates with ease and are coated with a protective barrier to ensure corrosion resistance.
Build a Deck - Plant a Tree.
Decks by Premier plants new trees for every project we complete, even if you choose to use composite boards.
ADA Railings Made in the USA.
Accessible railings can be added to almost any custom deck design.
By adding ADA railings to your railing system, you can make it easier for elderly or disabled people to use your deck and stairs. If you have a member of the household that needs accessibility features such as ADA railings or an accessible ramp instead of stairs, let our designers know.
Made in the USA Cocktail Railings
The latest and very popular trend in deck design, cocktail railings consist of a wider than normal, flat surface as the handrail or top rail of your railing system.
The wider space functions as a place to rest your drinks or coffee when entertaining with family and friends. Cocktail railings are a great idea near your outdoor kitchen or bar, or if you have a beautiful view where everyone seems to congregate.
Speak to your Premier designer on how you can crank up your design with some cocktail railings.
