The Right Railing System for You

Peak Aluminum vs Composite

Composite can very expensive to manufacture and therefore it carries a much higher price tag compared to alternatives. On top of that, composite railings can be expensive to install and provide little to no return on investment . Composite is also known to fade over time and may be prone to sagging, scratches and other damages. Aluminum is a cheaper, more durable alternative.

Peak Aluminum vs Wood

Aluminum will not rot, rust or decay. Powder coated aluminum does not require any maintenance at all during its life cycle. Wood, on the other hand, does rot and it has to be repainted every two years. Depending on where you live, you may also need to stain wooden railings.

Peak Aluminum vs Vinyl

Vinyl systems are quite susceptible to extreme weather conditions. Vinyl can be severely affected by extreme temperatures, shrinking or expanding excessively. Vinyl also fades and cracks from UV radiation. Aluminum railing system maintains its shape and dimension throughout extreme cold or heat. UV rays have a minimal negative impact on powder coated aluminum, which maintains its beautiful colour and finish.

Peak Aluminum vs Steel

Steel systems have to be repainted every few years, powder coated aluminum systems do not. As steel is much heavier than aluminum, it can be difficult to transport and handle. Aluminum provides unparalleled flexibility during installation. Anyone can use a regular miter saw to cut aluminum rails and make it fit any deck profile. Steel requires special equipment and skills to make any adjustment.

White Large Glass Panel with Wide Pickets and Decorative Spacers Railing

"This is a great product, easy to install, great looking and very functional. It’s a winner for the weekend home "do-it-yourself" person or professional."

Customer / Huntsville, Alabama
White Stair Picket Railing

"We just finished installing the Peak white railing system on a new 16'x14' elevated deck. It came out looking great! Would I recommend this system? YES."

Customer / Cincinnati, Ohio
Wide Black Picket Railing on deck

"One of the best features is the ability to replace a single bent picket, rather than having to replace an entire 4' section."

Customer / Olalla, Washington
White wide pickets fitting in the ground

"The pickets go into the top and bottom rails very easily if the rails are spaced appropriately. I highly recommend watching Peak Products how-to videos on You Tube. Make sure you get the first picket plumb before putting in the spacers and the rest of the pickets."

Customer / Spokane, Washington
