Your railing infill (the section between the top and bottom rails) offers yet another customization option when you choose Impression Rail Express, so you can create the outdoor space you envisioned.
Keep in mind, Impression Rail offers one infill for you to consider: aluminum balusters.
Impression Rail Express offers three infill choices:
Aluminum Balusters
A classic choice, aluminum balusters give you a sleek, clean look with their narrow design.
Glass Infill
For a clear view of your surroundings and a minimalist feel, choose barely-there glass infills.
Vertical Cable Rail
Capture an industrial-chic aesthetic with contemporary (and safe) vertical cable rail.
Impression Rail Express Color Options
Your railing color plays a pivotal role in your railing design. Choosing the right deck railing color will depend on whether you want to complement or contrast other elements of your exterior space, such as your deck board colors and your home exterior color palette.
Below are all the color options for Impression Rail Express.
Note: Impression Rail comes in Black and Bronze (a lighter shade than Dark Bronze) — but not White.
Black
Black is a classic color that suits a wide variety of home styles and deck colors. For a contemporary, cool look, pair black with gray composite decking
White
Keep your perimeter light and bright with white aluminum railing. The clean white color matches perfectly with white PVC trim used on your deck or home exterior.
Dark Bronze
The rich, inviting hue of Dark Bronze lends itself well to warm exterior color schemes. Pair Dark Bronze with tan decking like Weathered Teak for a warmly welcoming design.
