Aluminum and glass railings Newmarket ON
At Newmarket Fence, we build deck railings that perfectly complement the underlying deck. Our deck and railing contractors specialize in aluminum and glass railing construction. Each material offers a completely different aesthetic as well as unique features that we will touch on here to help you narrow down your choice.
When would you need a deck railing? Deck railings are not purely for looks. If the deck is around two and a half feet (2.5ft) above grade, you'll need to have a deck railing installation arranged for safety and security reasons. The materials of the railings can range from wood, composite, metal and glass. Some of our popular requests are aluminum and glass. Let's touch on a few similarities and differences between the two materials. Similarities - both aluminum and and glass railings use aluminum, whether it's the pure vertical picket style using only aluminum, or the aluminum base/frame in the glass railing option. Because of this, the metal components of the railings are coated with a protective layer that resists premature rusting from humidity and precipitation. |

Differences - the differences include the most obvious which is the appearance. Aluminum railings allow ample air flow, although if you're particular about body parts, small children or animals getting stuck in between the pickets, you can consider glass. Having said that, aluminum railings are generally regarded as safe for the majority of households. Another difference is pricing. Aluminum railings are less costly than glass, so if your budget is limited, then you can consider the former option, which still provides the sturdiness, safety and security needed in a guardrail.
Here are a few frequently asked questions asked by customers:
Is aluminum railing cheaper than iron?
Aluminum railings offer more value than iron, in our humble opinion. With better corrosion resistance, a significantly lower price point and no stark differences in durability, aluminum railings are a great choice for most decks.
How much do aluminum deck railings cost?
The cost typically starts at $80 per linear feet but is affected by other factors such as total install linear length required to be installed, and whether it is to be installed in conjunction with a new deck.
How much is a glass railing for a deck?
It's not uncommon for the glass railing to be double the price of aluminum rails, and depending a few factors, can be even more. Keep in mind that, however, that glass is extremely durable, and with the lack of spacing found in metal pickets, it will reliably keep things from slipping out. So if this is a determining factor and your budget is higher, consider the glass railing as a classic yet modern choice that will endure for many years.
