Edgewood^™ Vinyl Railing from CertainTeed Brings New Authentic Woodgrain Texture to Railing Product Line

CertainTeed Corporation is strengthening its position as a one-stop shop for a wide array of railing products with the introduction of Edgewood^™ Vinyl Railing — the first railing product to offer the natural beauty of painted and stained wood in an easy-to-maintain vinyl material.

Joining CertainTeed's well-established product line of vinyl, aluminum and composite railing, Edgewood brings a first-of-its-kind texture to the industry that creates a realistic woodgrain surface. Available in White, Almond and Sierra Blend colors, as well as octagonal and square baluster design options, building professionals can easily customize their designs.

"Exterior designs that blend with a home's natural surroundings continue to gain in popularity," said Patricia Pellock, Senior Marketing Manager for CertainTeed's Fence, Railing and Deck Business. "While traditional railing products have been limited to a smooth finish, the innovative brushstroke texture of Edgewood offers a whole new realm of color and design options."

Using an I-rail design for both top and bottom rails and exclusive bracket design, Edgewood offers easy installation and long-lasting performance. The system's attractive precision-fit components do not require pre-drilling for installation. For long-lasting security, the brackets come complete with corrosion-resistant stainless steel screws, which are concealed by sleek trim covers.

With its durable construction, Edgewood is engineered to meet International Residential Code standards for building safety and is suitable for one- and two-family dwellings and townhouses up to three stories high. The product is backed by a lifetime limited warranty featuring exclusive SureStart^™ protection that covers repair and replacement costs – including labor – in the unlikely event a manufacturing defect occurs within the first five years after installation.
