Comparing Types of Railings

Each of our custom railing styles has unique strengths and weaknesses, making your choice dependent on your specific needs, including privacy, safety, aesthetic preferences, environmental concerns, and budget considerations.

Cable Pros & Cons

Cable railings excel in design appeal and maintenance, offering a modern look with minimal upkeep. Due to the use of sustainable materials, they are environmentally friendly and provide a good balance of durability and lifespan. Compared to our other design options, they fall short of providing privacy, are moderately priced, and their installation can be more complex due to tension requirements.

Baluster Pros & Cons

Baluster Railings are the most cost-effective, safest, and easiest deck railing to install, making them an excellent choice for Seattle homes where safety and budget are a top concern. While their environmental impact is moderate, material advancements have improved this rating considerably. They offer a traditional appearance that fits many architectural styles, but they are less modern than our other design options and require more maintenance to prevent wear and tear.

Privacy Screen Pros & Cons

Horizontal Privacy Screens offer unparalleled privacy and weather resistance, making them the best railing for close-quarter outdoor spaces in varied climates. They are highly durable and ensure a long lifespan with moderate maintenance. These screens can be more costly and challenging to install than our other design options but provide significant aesthetic flexibility to match various designs. Their environmental impact is favorable, especially when made from sustainably sourced or recycled materials.
