Advantages of wooden deck railings

Wood railing is the first choice for any homeowner or builder as the elegance and style that you get from wood railings is nothing compared to other materials. Sometimes you are bothered by the reflection of light from all sources. Wood doesn’t reflect light as much as steel, a kind of serenity and tranquility that you get from using wood, that you can’t get from any other material.

Advantages of wooden railings

There are many advantages of wooden railings, especially indoor railings.

1. The elegance of wood is unmatched by anything else.

2. Contrary to popular belief, wooden railings are maintenance-free, especially those used indoors. A good polish, a coat of lacquer during installation, is all that is required, and no additional maintenance is required.

3. Another advantage of wood is that it is massive in construction and will last for several decades, if not centuries.

4. With its wide top, kids (and sometimes adults too!) enjoy the wooden rail by sliding down the railing to get down rather than down the steps. What fun!

Choice of wood for railings

Handrails, balusters and wood studs can be made from Burma teak, cherry, maple, red oak, white oak, walnut, mahogany, poplar, beech, yellow pine, ash or cedar. Many manufacturers can offer you the top rail design you want or dream of. Manufacturers use CAD systems, CNC machinery, and manual dexterity to bring you any rail profile, baluster turning, or newel post.
Wood Care In General, Railing In Particular

Wood when properly treated and cared for does not require maintenance. The main enemy of wood are life forms capable of living and thriving on wood. Microscopic life begins first and then it’s like a jungle, where the food chain begins. Therefore, if you treat the wood with chemicals to stop the growth of microorganisms and keep water away from it, the chance of the wood rotting is much less. Regular cleaning, annual polishing, waxing when the wooden railing looks dull is all that is required to take care of the wooden items and the railing in general. Exterior railings may need to be painted to keep them looking new.
