Are Deckorators aluminum railings still building code approved if a post extension is added?

Yes, the use of post extensions does not affect the compliance with building code as long as they are used according to our instructions. Please note that post extensions are not intended for use with shade sails or similar applications. For detailed installation guidelines, refer to our installation instructions page.

What is powder-coating?

Powder-coating a dry finishing process using pigment and resin particles that melt into a durable finish. Ours is eco-friendly and super tough.

Can Deckorators railing be used for structural applications?

No. While Deckorators railing offers superior surface integrity and strength, it is not suitable for structural applications.

How do I maintain my aluminum railing?

We recommend inspecting and cleaning your aluminum railing once a year in normal environments. In more hazardous environments or if heavy soiling occurs, more frequent cleaning may be required. To clean, wash the railing with a solution of warm water and mild detergent, then rinse thoroughly to remove all residues. Use a soft cloth or sponge for cleaning. Before applying the cleaner to the entire railing system, test it in a small, inconspicuous area to ensure no color change or damage occurs.

How do varying weather conditions affect Deckorators railing during installation?

Deckorators performs well in various weather conditions. During installation, it contracts slightly in cold weather and expands in hot weather. We recommend keeping the material on-site for at least 48 hours before installation to allow it to acclimate. Refer to the Railing tab on the Installation Instructions page for spacing guidelines to ensure proper expansion and contraction.
