Did you know that the railing market has evolved significantly over the past few decades? While previously the only choices offered to consumers were wood or iron, more or less practical options, solutions have fortunately diversified. Today, aluminum railings have become the choice for homeowners who want peace of mind for many years.
But because these aluminum railings remain relatively unknown, Balcons Verdun has decided to present all their advantages to you. And there are many! Thus, if you need to replace a railing in the coming years, you will undoubtedly be able to make an informed choice and select the material that suits you best.
9 Advantages of Aluminum Railings
Unmatched Durability
Aluminum is an extremely resistant material, which gives it a much longer lifespan than most metals. In fact, it is generally attributed a longevity of 30 years! And unlike steel, it does not disintegrate over time, and you will not see any rust appear on your aluminum railing. Yes, you read that right: no rust! This ultra-durability and ability to remain like new for many years are undoubtedly among the greatest advantages of aluminum.
Low Maintenance
Since aluminum does not rust, there is almost nothing to do to maintain it. In reality, when you have an aluminum railing, you can simply clean it once a year to prevent dust from “accumulating. And no need to get out the pressure washer: just use water, soap, and a cloth! When you consider that with wood or iron railings, you have to strip and paint everything almost annually, you quickly understand why aluminum is an advantageous choice!
A small note, however: if you opt for an aluminum railing, never use paint remover. Such a product could alter the color of your railing.
A Solid and Safe Structure
Despite its great lightness, aluminum is an extremely rigid and solid material. To such an extent that aluminum railings are among the safest offered on the market! Indeed, they withstand significant weights and have successfully passed the load tests of the Régie du bâtiment du Québec. This is also why they are particularly suitable for upper floors. Unlike other materials, such as PVC, they are strong enough to hold heavy objects or even a person.
Custom-Made, to your Taste
As an aluminum railing manufacturer, at Balcons Verdun we make the most of the possibilities this metal offers. Indeed, thanks to our production techniques, it is entirely possible to completely customize your railing according to your tastes or specific needs. No matter the length, height, width, bar size, or colors you prefer for your railing, simply place your order and you will get it! For example, if you wish to alternate black and gray bars, we will gladly do so. This is one of the advantages of ordering directly from the manufacturer rather than from a big-box store!
Quick Order Fulfillment
Yet another advantage of choosing a manufacturer specializing in aluminum railing design! For a customized railing completely to your taste, only a short 2-week lead time is required before you receive it. Who said ordering custom had to be complicated? Furthermore, keep in mind that you won’t have to pay for numerous intermediaries when dealing with a manufacturer!
Several Models Available
You can also get an aluminum railing by choosing from the many models offered at Balcons Verdun. We have created several options to meet different needs: some railings offer more privacy, others have a bolder design, and still others have been created to respect certain architectural heritage. You can even get an aluminum railing with glass instead of bars!
Prices for all Budgets
Given that we offer a very wide variety of models, you will certainly be able to find an aluminum railing that suits both your taste and your budget. Please note that the price is calculated per linear foot and depends mainly on the model and the height of the railing. The invoice amount will therefore vary depending on the total size required and the chosen style.
A Very Easy-to-Install Railing
Lightweight and easily maneuverable, the aluminum railing is extremely simple to install. And at Balcons Verdun, we provide absolutely everything you need to facilitate your installation. Indeed, by purchasing an aluminum railing from us, you also get all the necessary screws, surplus paint to prevent small incidents, and base covers to hide the base of the posts. Furthermore, the railing is sold to you in pre-assembled sections to simplify the task even further. You just need to fix the posts to the ground with the provided screws, ensure everything is level, and install the railing on the posts. You then complete your installation by attaching the screw covers, also provided by Balcons Verdun to ensure an aesthetic finish.
And despite the great simplicity of this process, please note that we do offer an installation service. Your aluminum railing will then be installed by experienced professionals who work quickly and efficiently.
Versatility that Meets your Needs
No matter the surface where you wish to install an aluminum railing, you can undoubtedly do so, because anything is possible with it! Indeed, these railings can be installed on a wooden, fiberglass, aluminum, or even concrete balcony. This versatility, combined with all the other advantages offered by aluminum railings, proves very practical for merchants, industrial owners, or individuals who must deal with certain specific features of their building.
Note, however, that special screws will be necessary for drilling into concrete.
