Cable Railing Offers a Sleek, On-Trend Look for Modern Decks

Cable railing infills offer a modern, minimalist look for decks while preserving views. Their popularity is trending thanks to their simple design in both horizontal and vertical formats.

The stainless steel cable infill from TimberTech^® is made of marine-grade steel cords pulled taut between the metal railing posts for a perimeter that is both sleek and secure. Stainless steel cable rail infills provide clear sightlines for an unobstructed view, deliver a chic, contemporary aesthetic to perfectly complement a design-forward deck, and offer longevity and durability, with minimal maintenance needs.

Along with vertical options, Weyerhaeuser Distribution now offers horizontal cable infill from TimberTech. The product offers three-turn capability without having to terminate at each post like traditional horizontal cable. This means that installers can run the cable along one side of the deck, have the cable run to/through a corner post, then run another length of a deck to the next corner post and down a flight of stairs, saving time and money versus having to terminate the cable at each corner post.

Using Cable Infill for Different Home Styles

When combined with specific design elements, a stainless steel cable railing can capture different moods and align with different types of homes.

Here are three examples:

1. Coastal-Style Homes

Coastal-style homes boast stunning views of the ocean, but are exposed to strong winds, saltwater spray, and occasional extreme weather. Such harsh exposure makes durability key in every aspect of the home's exterior. TimberTech stainless steel cable railing keeps the ocean views unobstructed while providing exceptional resilience thanks to its attractive, marine-grade construction. In addition, Impression Rail Express^®from TimberTech is made from powder-coated aluminum, for a durable, corrosion-resistant option.

2. Urban Modern Buildings

When there's little to no room for an outdoor living space on the ground, the rooftop is the way to go. Rooftop decks are typical of city buildings and often evoke an urban modern style. And, just like a regular roof, they are sure to be exposed to UV rays and other weathering agents. That's why it's important to choose superior building materials, such as stainless steel cable railing from TimberTech.

3. Modern Alpine Homes

For homes in the mountains or the forested foothills, maintaining views is paramount. As is managing extreme weather, from freezing winters to hot summers.

With stainless steel cable railing from TimberTech, homeowners can keep spectacular views unobstructed while maintaining confidence in the railing's strength and enduring good looks.

For a look that suits the modern alpine style, choose stainless steel cable railing with nature-inspired aesthetics. The Classic Composite Series Drink Rail features a TimberTech composite deck board as a top rail for a handsome, real wood look. Plus, TimberTech composite decking is designed with advanced materials science, allowing for the authentic look customers want with the high performance railing they need.
