Aluminum railings are a common choice for Canadian households, either as pure railing solutions or in cooperation with glass or wood materials. Aluminum railings can be made with a range of finishes and colours, as well as custom pickets and baluster tops. If you are in need of an upscale and personalised deck or other outdoor railing solution, aluminum railings can be the ideal choice.
Aluminum is lightweight, which makes for fast installations, and is 100% recyclable. Aluminum railings can withstand the harshest Canadian weather conditions for decades. Aluminum railings also require very limited maintenance, which makes them perfect for busy homeowners.
You can trust your aluminum railing needs to Mountain View Sun Decks. We have years of experience installing a range of pure aluminum and combination railing styles.
Aluminum railings are very durable but are also lightweight. Aluminum actually weighs roughly 1/3 of what a wrought iron or steel railing would, without sacrificing any aspects of durability or aesthetics. This lightweight nature of aluminum makes for efficient installations. Each vertical baluster in an aluminum railing will commonly have 2 fastener holes and these balusters are spaced roughly 5 feet apart. Efficiently installing aluminum railings is one advantage of the material’s lacking early maintenance requirements.
Aluminum railings are very cost effective. Wright iron railings can be as durable though are prone to rust and are very expensive to develop or install. Wood railings can be the least costly installation project though can rot and peel after a single year of use. Aluminum railings offer low-cost initial installations and have very limited maintenance requirements year after year. Aluminum railings provide you with the best of both worlds in regards to railing cost and future maintenance needs.
Aluminum rails are painted with custom paint materials that are baked at over 200 degrees Celsius. Unlike wood and iron railings, paint touch ups are not annually required. Powder coating can also be applied to help increase the weather resistance and overall longevity of your aluminum railing. Railings that are near pools should be inspected every 6 months, though a railing that is in a dry location only requires an annual inspection.
Annual inspections of aluminum railings will not commonly discover issues with the paint structural integrity of the railing. Though these inspections can find dirt, evaporated water and more that has caked onto the railing. The railing can simply need a quick wash and wax.
Be sure to not use abrasive cleaners or solvent-based cleaners or any steel wool products in your aluminum railing maintenance efforts. If you have any questions, call or email Mountain View Sun Decks! Our team designs, installs and maintains aluminum deck railings, patio railings, and exterior railings.

“We are very pleased with the work Mountain View Sun Decks did for us. They were on time, efficient and did an excellent job. We highly recommend them for any deck/railing work!"
"Our glass house in the sky" These fellows managed to build our sun room onto a second floor balcony straight up from the outside...The project was finished on time and on budget, despite all the wet weather. Bravo, Mountain View Sun Decks!
Hi Steven, Happy Friday!!!! Just wanted to say hi and that I love my deck. The guys finished up Wednesday evening. I haven't had time to really enjoy my deck yet but hopefully this weekend I will. Thanks again for all your patience and help with getting this completed and to what I was looking for. I have all of July and August to enjoy my deck now and hopefully September. Have a wonderful weekend. April
Rebuilt the deck at the back of the house;because of cost we kept the same footprint as the previous deck;workmanship was excellent, the deck flooring is exceptional, almost like the extension of the inside flooring, loved the enclosed stairwell and the changes to the railing; very clean exit after job was complete, no delays in getting the work done;very pleased; in hindsight we should have spent the extra money for a tiered deck that we had in mind.
Our experience with the company and its employees, for the most part, has been excellent. The deck was enlarged and updated with dura deck vinyl covering, aluminium powder coated rails and lightly tinted glass over ten years ago, and it still looks great. Additional upgraded railings, opaque glass and a gate were later added. From the initial meeting with the sales representative to the completion of the project, the costs were on budget and on time. The quality of workmanship performed and professionalism of their employees can be considered first rate. The best part of having a Mountain View Sun Deck is not having to do any maintenance, just sit back and enjoy.
We had our old deck replaced. Complete removal and new installation. The work was performed during the winter and completed on time and budget to our complete satisfaction.
They came and put down my deck in record time. Looks beautiful. It was a difficult job because of a previous contractor had failed. They turned things around and left us very happy.
I hired Ewald and his team to replace a old wrought iron circular staircase off my desk with a traditional set of stairs in all aluminum. They were excellent to work with and I'd do business with them again anytime. Very professional, humble, creative, extremely detail orientated and excellent customer service from everyone. Price was fair and nothing negative to suggest about the product or service. Highly recommended!
Great staff, great owner, great service....could not be happier with my custom deck they built for me in 2015 and the issues they caught and fixed during the build. A great company and team....I would highly recommend. No corners cut....just quality product and service. Rod C.
Mountain View Sundecks installed an exterior staircase from out upper deck to the ground on our house. We were very pleased with this install. They were very responsive, met our schedule and came in at the price they quoted. I highly recommend them.
