Frequently Asked Questions
How does PVC railing compare to vinyl railing?
While the two terms are sometimes used interchangeably, most vinyl railings use thin, hollow extrusions that can flex or crack over time. Royal Guard railings are made from solid cellular PVC, reinforced with aluminum for structural strength. They offer a matte finish, sharper profiles, and far greater durability — without the glossy, plastic look of vinyl.
Can PVC railings be used in coastal or high-moisture areas?
Yes. Royal Guard systems are UV-stabilized and moisture-resistant, making them ideal for seaside homes, lakefront decks, or pool areas. They will not rot, rust, or corrode like wood or metal and require no sealing or painting.
Do Royal Guard railings meet building codes?
Yes. Standard system heights of 36″ and 42″ meet residential and commercial safety code requirements when installed per specifications. The aluminum-reinforced structure and uniform baluster spacing ensure compliance with most U.S. railing standards.
Can I paint or stain Royal Guard PVC railings?
Painting is optional — the railings arrive in a matte white finish that never needs painting. However, if a custom color is desired, they can be coated with high-quality exterior acrylic paint designed for PVC surfaces.
How long do PVC railings last?
With proper installation, PVC railings can last 25 years or more without structural degradation or surface peeling. The material is engineered to withstand UV exposure and extreme weather, backed by a 25-year limited warranty.
