Black Powder is Here!
Patio Covers and Railing

All of our black colored aluminum railing system components have made the transition! From baked enamel to powder coat finish! Right now our standard is AAMA 2604 smooth black but we also offer a textured black finish as well.
What this means to you:
All black aluminum railing and components are powder coated
A more durable and consistent finish
Environmentally friendly
White and Brown baked enamel will soon be discontinued and replaced with matching powder coat finishes
