Innovative Vinyl Porch Railing Ideas

Our vinyl porch railing ideas for PVC porch railings often offer the best in beauty and durability while making your life easier. No more painting or replacing broken wooden railing spindles.

Please note that vinyl porch railings and PVC porch railings are not the same.

What we are speaking of here is high quality solid cellular PVC railings - low maintenance and resembles the look of painted wood.

These PVC porch railings come in a wide variety of styles that you cannot find anywhere else (or at least not that we've discovered). In fact, you can create your own custom design with The Porch Company. Now that is pretty wonderful.

Just imagine not needing to paint your porch railings. These lovely PVC railings are virtually maintenance-free. And beautiful, too! You can get them at The Porch Company.

Just imagine not needing to paint your porch railings! With PVC railings, your porch is not only lovely but you have more time for enjoying your porch.

Not all vinyl is made the same. While vinyl may appear flimsy and cheap, PVC is quite different quality-wise - nicer indeed!

Without getting technical, vinyl materials can be enhanced to make them more durable, easier to cut, structurally strong, and more versatile for different types of uses. The Porch Company uses solid cellular PVC.

In addition, the properties of PVC allow you to create designs that otherwise would be nearly impossible to do with traditional wood or metal railing products.

That makes PVC a perfect material to use for your porch or deck railings.

Add a little sophistication and elegance to your porch or deck by choosing just the right design to make a seamless transition. And it doesn't matter whether you have a large expanse or just a few feet upon which to make a statement.

What makes a porch special? Mary and I believe it is the combination of each porch component although some components tend to have more impact than others.

Perhaps the most visible; however, is the porch balustrade or railings. Change the design and you can change the entire look of the front of your home.

Make it subtle and it will blend in; make it bold and your house takes on a persona all its own.

Are you familiar with a widow's walk on a house? A widow's walk, sometimes called a roofwalk, is a railed rooftop platform. The name is said to come from the wives of mariners, who would watch for their spouse's return. (Source: Wiki pedia)
