Aluminum Deck Railing Options

Green Shield believes a railing should be a permanent safety barrier, not a maintenance project. While traditional wood railings eventually rot and fail, Green Shield uses a wood-free, commercial-grade aluminum line designed for lifelong durability.

The Premier Standard:

Structural Versatility: Green Shield offers four primary colors—Black, White, Bronze, and Metallic Gray—with infill options including cable, glass, or balusters to match any homeowner's vision.

Lakefront Engineering: For unobstructed views, Green Shield provides frameless glass systems. These are paired with hidden pedestal lighting that illuminates the panel without visible fixtures, ensuring safety without sacrificing the landscape.

Integrated Lighting: Our team builds lighting directly into the top channels and pedestals. This smarter engineering provides a clean, modern look that illuminates the deck's perimeter for nighttime safety.

Aluminum is the superior choice because it is engineered to never fail. Our team brings physical railing samples directly to your home during a free on-site evaluation to ensure the perfect match. Green Shield provides the bridge between elite craftsmanship and a reliably engineered outdoor living space.

Hi. My name is Adam Rought, founder and CEO of Green Shield Deck Builders. We're super excited to show you some of the many, many options of railing that Green Shield offers our customers. All of our rail is actually wood free. What we're installing is a commercial grade aluminum railing. This railing is so good that we don't need any other type of railing. Aluminum is the way. I'm so confident of that because this is engineered and guaranteed not to fail the lifetime of your deck. We've got really cool baluster options, so you can do the same color baluster, you can do a different color baluster, you don't have to do baluster at all, you can do glass infill, you can even do cable infill. So those are just some of those options. More options are that any of those can actually be lit up. We can light up the railing through this top channel and illuminate your entire deck right from the railing. If you don't like lighting, we also have four colors. So let's get into some of the colors. This right here is a bronze color, goes great with brown color decks. We've got a white railing. This is actually more of a glossy finish and that way it doesn't show fingerprints nearly as much and dirt and grime that a that more of a textured finish is gonna have on, when you go white, you want that that really to pop forever. Our most popular and what I have on my home, it's actually black. Nothing more timeless than black railing. Love this railing. You can actually put white balusters in here to to kinda make more of a piano look if you want, but the black is truly a timeless look. Gray railing. Gray is just getting more and more popular in homes. They're painting their cabinets gray. They're painting their walls gray. Hey. Why not bring the gray to the deck? Gray railing is is just becoming more popular and it's a really cool finish. It's almost has like a a metal flake in it. It looks really, really cool. It's just something your neighbors don't have, and we're really proud to offer that, with all of our different features too. You can get that with the glass. You can get it with the black balusters. You can get it with the the gray baluster. You name it, we've got it. Even in the cable, we've got gray cable. Another new product for this year is actually our frameless glass. This is a, illuminated frameless glass. Our customers have been asking for lighting on the railing for so many years that we said we gotta have lighting for everything including the frameless glass. So what's so neat about this, the lighting is actually hidden in these pedestals down here and these pedestals come in a black color which would be my preference. We've got this really cool silver color but it actually lights up from the bottom so you don't see the lights but this whole panel is illuminated. Super cool at night. Some customers that have bought this on the lakeshore have said when I come up with my boat, it's the coolest looking thing on the entire lake. It's just it's just a really, really cool look. This is a great option for those high value homes that you really want to make the deck stand out. Thank you so much for spending the time to go over just some of the options of railing that we have. Give us a call or fill out the form on our website to get a free deck inspection and evaluation where we can actually bring this railing to your home so you could see it in person. And, we look forward to seeing you.
