The right railing can elevate a deck and add function to your outdoor living space. It can even help keep your family safe without obstructing your view. Unlike lumber, trex railing doesn’t rot, warp or splinter so it looks great season after season. Plus, it requires less maintenance and is backed by a 25-year limited warranty.
Trex offers a range of railing options designed for any style, budget and need. Choose from three levels of trex railing select, transcend and signature and mix and match components to create your perfect deck design.
Select is our most affordable option and features a clean-looking T profile and your choice of infill options. The infill is the part that runs between the rails and holds the balusters or spindles (see image below). Select comes with square composite balusters for a coordinated look or round aluminum balusters for a modern contrast. Select railings are available in 36″ and 42″ heights and 6′ and 8′ lengths.
Transcend features a wider variety of railing options and the choice to replace the crown rail with a cocktail rail, which is flat and perfect for supporting a drink. It also allows homeowners to showcase their personal flair by choosing a color for the cocktail rail that complements their deck boards or contrasts it with a darker hue.
If you’re looking to elevate your backyard and make the most of your view, opt for glass railing. Like a floating platform, trex glass railings create an open feeling and give your backyard a resort-like feel. Plus, they’re ideal for homes with stunning scenery because they don’t obstruct the view.
When a fence is required by code but you want to keep your view unobstructed, a low-profile aluminum rail is the way to go. Featured on the HGTV Dream Home 2024, this sleek Signature Rod rail in Charcoal Black fades into the Utah mountain landscape and lets the view take center stage.
The most stylish of our options, the Trex Transcend Beveled Railing is a minimalist railing that works well with contemporary architecture. It’s an alternative to the traditional crown railing profile and pairs with our existing selection of Trex Transcend post sleeves, skirts, caps and balusters.
If you prefer a more classic look, mix and match the components to build your ideal deck. For example, Vintage Lantern posts from the Transcend collection paired with the charcoal black Signature aluminum rails and balusters create a sophisticated southwestern look.
Trex Transcend and Signature rails are compatible with any composite or aluminum stair railing kit. Just make sure your stair railing kit includes the correct number of components and the appropriate deck boards.
