RDI Railing, a premium collection by Barrette Outdoor Living, offers a complete line of low-maintenance railing systems for residential and commercial outdoor spaces. They are available in a diverse range of materials - including vinyl, aluminum, steel, and composite - and offer styles from traditional balusters to contemporary cable and glass infills:
- Unlike traditional wood, RDI railings - made from materials like durable vinyl and powder-coated aluminum/steel - are engineered to resist rot, splintering, warping, and mold. This superior water and weather resistance means minimal upkeep, often requiring just a simple cleaning.
- All RDI railings are rigorously engineered to meet or exceed strict local and national building code requirements, ensuring the structural integrity your projects demand. They also offer essential ADA handrail options for enhanced accessibility.
- RDI systems are designed for efficiency. Many options come pre-assembled or require minimal assembly, speeding up work for both professional contractors and ambitious DIY homeowners. Unique technologies like the OneTen built-in centralized tensioning system (for cable rail) and ProLock locking strips further simplify and accelerate the installation process.
- RDI products are built to last and are typically backed by a Transferrable Limited Lifetime Warranty (warranty periods may vary by material; for instance, steel often carries a 15-year warranty), providing peace of mind for you and your clients.
- The wide selection of materials, colors, profiles (e.g., Avalon Aluminum, Elevation Rail, Titan Pro Rail), and infill options (balusters, cable, glass, privacy boards) allows for extensive customization to match any architectural style, from a classic porch to a modern deck.
Ideal Applications and Project Ideas:
- Residential Decking: Creating a multi-level or raised deck in a backyard. Use an aluminum system like Avalon Aluminum Railing for rust-resistance and a sleek look, or a low-maintenance vinyl system like Endurance Original Rail for a classic aesthetic. Railing is required by code for decks above a certain height, making safety paramount.
- Porches and Front Entryways: Defining the entrance of a home and providing a secure handhold for stairs. The traditional, clean look of a vinyl railing like Finyl Line or Titan Pro Rail complements most homes. Consider adding a matching ADA Handrail component for a safe, code-compliant entry.
- Stairs and Walkways: Providing continuous grip and safety for any set of stairs or ramp. Many RDI systems offer easy-to-install stair kits and adjustable brackets (e.g., MetalWorks Excalibur), ensuring the railing angle is consistent and secure.
- Modern Outdoor Living Spaces: Maximizing views while maintaining safety on balconies or waterfront properties. Use Elevation Rail (cable railing) or a glass infill option in the Avalon Aluminum Railing line for unobstructed sightlines with a contemporary, industrial design.
- Privacy Screening: Creating a secluded area on a patio or deck. Privacy Rail uses powder-coated aluminum framing with secure, interlocking vinyl infill boards to build a modern, solid screen that offers increased solitude from neighbors.
- Commercial Properties: Installing durable, high-traffic railing on apartment balconies, public walkways, or restaurant patios. Systems like Titan Pro Rail (vinyl/steel) or MetalWorks Excalibur (steel) are chosen for their superior strength, commercial warranties, and ability to meet demanding building codes for non-residential use.
