Aluminum Railing Facts – General
The prime functions of aluminum railing are:
- To provide safety measures on decks above ground level.
- To define exterior space or provide privacy.
- To eliminate maintenance.
- To provide a durable, long lasting and waterproof railing system.
Aluminum Railing Construction
Durarail railing systems are crafted in North America using robust, non-corrosive aluminum. The intricately designed extrusion process and precision-welded components ensure excellent strength.
Durarail’s framework is constructed using 6063-T5 alloy, while the posts boast an even stronger 6005A-T61 alloy. Notably, the extrusions feature a substantial .070-inch wall thickness—the heaviest in the industry. This thickness contributes to an exceptionally sturdy system. The increased strength of the structure allows for wider spans between the posts, resulting in an enhanced visual appearance and a more expansive view. The combination of the heavy aluminum wall thickness, high-quality extrusion process, and an efficient fastening system collectively enables Durarail to achieve exceptional spans, positioning it among the industry’s leaders in terms of railing width.
After the aluminum components are manufactured, they are entirely sealed with our 4-stage powder-coating finish, the most popular industrial coating in the world today.
The Durarail aluminum railing system will still be performing long after many of the other building materials have been replaced.
