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.

Deckorators Composite Railing, manufactured by UFP Ventures II, Inc., has been evaluated by an independent third-party evaluation report writer known as Intertek to be code-compliant under Intertek’s CCRR-0171 and CCRR-0335 Evaluation Reports. See reports for complete details.

Conventional tools for cutting, drilling, and nailing can be used with Deckorators railing. We recommend using a sharp carbide-tipped saw blade for cutting. For your safety, remember to wear protective clothing and safety glasses. Reference the Railing tab on the Installation Instructions page for railing instructions specific to each product line.

While no formal testing has been done, we have not seen or heard of any ill effects from standard pool chemicals.
