Architectural Railing Systems
Architectural railing systems provide safety, structure, and visual definition for porches, balconies, stairs, decks, terraces, rooftops, and exterior building projects. Architectural Mall provides architectural railing and balustrade systems for residential, commercial, and restoration applications — including Polymer Stone, High-Density Polyurethane (HDP), reinforced cellular PVC, vinyl, and aluminum options.
These systems are used for projects that need more than a basic railing, including architectural baluster layouts, balustrade railing systems, exterior porch and balcony railings, stair railings, and low-maintenance railing components designed to complement the surrounding architecture.
Polymer Stone Balustrade Systems
Polymer Stone balustrade systems are made with calcium carbonate, polymer resin, and UV-inhibited pigment to create a substantial, stone-like appearance at roughly one-fifth the weight of natural limestone. Available in multiple textures and colors, these systems are used for porches, balconies, terraces, stairs, rooftops, and architectural baluster layouts — including straight and curved radius applications.
High-Density Polyurethane Balustrade Systems
High-Density Polyurethane (HDP) balustrade systems provide a lightweight, paint-grade option for straight railing layouts on porches, balconies, rooftops, stairs, and exterior architectural projects. Designed to replicate the appearance of painted wood while resisting rot, swelling, and insect damage, HDP components arrive factory-primed and ready for a final paint finish.
Royal Guard PVC Railing Systems
Royal Guard cellular PVC railing systems combine the appearance of painted wood with reinforced PVC construction. Each system features a thick-walled PVC exterior with an internal aluminum channel for added strength and stability. Designed for porches, balconies, decks, and straight railing layouts, Royal Guard railings resist rot, insects, and weather exposure while requiring very little maintenance.
Aluminum Railing Systems
Aluminum railing systems offer a clean, low-maintenance option for porches, balconies, decks, and stairs. Available in several styles and finishes, aluminum is a practical choice for projects that need a lightweight, durable system without the heavier architectural appearance of a balustrade. Suitable for residential and commercial applications where a simpler metal design is preferred.
Vinyl Railing Systems
Vinyl railing systems provide a cost-effective, low-maintenance alternative to traditional wood railings for porches, balconies, and decks. Available in multiple styles and lengths, vinyl offers a clean appearance without the cracking, peeling, or ongoing upkeep commonly associated with wood. It is a practical option for residential and commercial projects where a simple, lightweight railing system is preferred.
