Deck Railings in Calgary

The railing is the first thing anyone sees on a raised deck, and it decides how much of your view you keep. We install powder-coated aluminum picket, glass-and-aluminum, obscured privacy glass and fully frameless glass, on new decks and existing ones.

Railing systems we install

Aluminum picket

Powder-coated, rust-free and close to maintenance-free. The most cost-effective railing and the most common.

Glass and aluminum

Tempered glass panels in an aluminum frame. Keeps the view and blocks the wind.

Obscured privacy glass

Frosted or tinted panels for decks that look straight into a neighbour's yard.

Frameless glass

Glass with no top rail or posts in the way. The cleanest look, and the highest price.

We source from manufacturers including Regal Ideas, Viewrail, Century Aluminum, Westbury, Muzata and IG Railing, and we'll recommend a system based on your deck, your view and your budget.

Built to pass inspection

In Alberta, a deck more than 0.6 m (2 ft) above grade needs a guard. There are rules on guard height and on how big the openings can be, so a small child can't slip through. We spec every railing to meet them, and we anchor posts into blocking in the frame, not just into the rim board, because a railing is only as strong as what it's bolted to.

Replacing the railing on an older deck is one of the highest-impact upgrades per dollar. If the frame is sound, a new aluminum or glass railing can make a tired deck look new.

Common questions

Will glass railing stand up to Calgary wind and hail?

Tempered glass in a properly anchored system handles wind well; that's what it's engineered for. Powder-coated aluminum doesn't rust and doesn't need painting.

Can you replace just the railing on my deck?

Yes, as long as the deck structure is sound enough to anchor it properly. We'll check at the site visit.

Does a membrane deck need a special railing?

The posts need to be sealed into the waterproofing. See vinyl membrane decks.
