    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.

    Do I need special tools to install Deckorators railing?

    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.

    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.

    Deckorators Aluminum Railing offers great looks and long-lasting performance—backed by a lifetime limited warranty on manufacturing defects and a 10-year salt water applications limited warranty.
