A recent notable trend in new residential and remodeling markets is the growing demand for products that enhance outdoor living spaces for a functional and inviting lifestyle. Many homeowners are adding decks, porches and balconies that feature elevated aesthetics and a place to relax with family and friends. Key criteria among homeowners are products that complement their home’s overall design and are contemporary in appearance, exceptionally durable, and easy to maintain.

Within the overall category of decking and railing products there is significant movement towards the use of aluminum railing that offers distinctive designs while providing unequaled durability and minimal maintenance. Aluminum railing systems are rapidly replacing wood, composite, vinyl, and steel railing products in the marketplace. Wood railing can warp and buckle and needs to be painted or stained. Aluminum railing is more durable than vinyl railing and is easier to maintain. Composite railing systems are more complicated, more expensive, and more difficult to install than aluminum deck and porch railing. Unlike steel railing, aluminum railing will not rust and is much lighter in weight making it easier to install.

Digger Specialties Inc. (DSI) has become the leading manufacturer of aluminum railing systems in the United States with the most extensive group of railing styles and designs in the industry. DSI’s Westbury® Aluminum Railing offers sleek, contemporary railing styles that are preferred over traditional bulky railing systems. Engineered into all Westbury Aluminum Railing systems are components that speed railing system installation. This and the lightweight design make Westbury Aluminum Railing easy to install.

Westbury railing systems come in an industry leading 12 standard colors (textured and nontextured) and property owners have the option of ordering custom colors.  Westbury Aluminum Railing is a perfect complement to wood and composite deck boards. With its powder coating and use of premium aluminum components, Westbury Aluminum Railing offers homeowners a carefree outdoor lifestyle enabled by minimal maintenance. Westbury Aluminum Railing is available with Magena Star® lighting to provide attractive evening illumination of outdoor living spaces.

Westbury Aluminum Railing is manufactured to provide a lasting finish. DSI’s ten step powder coating process is the most stringent in the industry. Raw materials are carefully selected and inspected to ensure that the aluminum base is free of contaminants and flaws. To provide complete coverage 20 spray guns are used to apply the architectural powder coating. The coating is then adhered to the aluminum railing components in a 400-degree curing stage. DSI is the only aluminum railing manufacturer whose powder coating process is Powder Coating Institute (PCI) 4000 certified and meets the rigorous specifications to be verified AAMA Compliant. The result of this meticulous process is a deck railing system that provides a lasting color finish backed by DSI’s lifetime limited warranty.
