Railings form an essential part of the look of a balcony – they determine privacy, maintenance requirements and cost. Which boards to choose for them?
Three options are most commonly used: aluminium railings, metal frame with infill and WPC composite boards.
Which one is best for you?
Aluminium railings – modern look and low maintenance
− less privacy
-
− cold, metallic effect
− higher price for solid infills -
Suitable for minimalist homes, but not for everyone.
Metal structure with infill – high strength and a wide selection of designs
Most common infills: glass, sheet metal, HPL or composite boards.
-
− the infill determines maintenance and cost
− timber requires painting, glass lacks privacy -
It makes the most sense when combined with composite.
WPC composite boards for railings – currently the most popular choice
WPC (wood-plastic composite) is currently the most popular solution for balcony railing infills.
And the reason is simple:
👉 it offers the look of wood without the maintenance hassle.
You get a warm, natural look, high durability, colour stability and zero need for painting or sanding. That is why more and more homeowners and apartment owners choose Woodlook WPC railings.
