Frequently Asked Questions
What exterior railing systems does Windsor Plywood carry?
Windsor Plywood carries Vista aluminum and glass railing systems as well as wood railing components for exterior deck and stair applications. Both cable railing components and traditional picket systems are available. The selection covers low-maintenance contemporary systems and traditional wood railing builds.
What material is best for exterior railings in a wet coastal climate?
Aluminum and composite railings are the most appropriate choice for wet coastal climates in British Columbia and Atlantic Canada. They do not rust, rot, or require the maintenance that wood railings demand in high-moisture conditions. Vista aluminum systems are specifically engineered for low-maintenance exterior performance.
What height are exterior railings required to be in Canada?
The National Building Code of Canada requires exterior guards on decks and balconies more than 600mm above grade to be a minimum of 900mm high. For decks more than 1800mm above grade, 1070mm is required. Confirm local amendments to these requirements with your building department.
Can I mix wood posts with aluminum or cable infill for exterior railings?
Yes. Mixed-material railing systems that combine wood or composite posts and rails with aluminum or cable infill are a popular contemporary approach. This provides the warmth of natural wood at the structural elements while using low-maintenance materials for the infill. Coordinate post and cap finishes carefully for a cohesive result.
Does Windsor Plywood sell all the components needed to complete a railing system?
Yes. Windsor Plywood carries posts, rails, balusters, connectors, fasteners, and post bases as a system for both wood and aluminum railing installations. Staff can help you plan component quantities for your specific deck layout and ensure you have compatible parts before you start installation.
