CertainTeed Panorama™ Composite Railing System.
Sturdy good looks that offer lasting beauty.

The beauty of painted wood. The durability of a composite.
Why choose wood railing when you can get the look of wood with exceptional weatherability? That’s the beauty of Panorama. It provides the solid feel of wood railing with the strength of a durable composite core, capped with a high-quality white PVC that replicates the look of freshly painted wood.

No splinters or hassles.
Wood railing can require regular upkeep. And with weathered wood, splinters can be a safety issue. Prefinished in white, there’s never any need to paint or stain Panorama. The components don’t require sanding, sealing or weatherproofing either. The beautiful, smooth finish won’t chip, peel or split for years of beautiful good looks. All backed by a 10-year limited warranty.

Beautiful, secure fit and finish.
Panorama offers attractive traditional styling. The complete system provides the fit and finish that will meet your highest standards. The components are engineered to work together — fastening tight with concealed hardware for a seamless appearance. And it complements any composite, wood, vinyl, brick or concrete surface.

The Anatomy of Panorama
White PVC Cap — gives the high-quality look of freshly painted wood with excellent weatherability.
Composite Core — provides strength and integrity.
Predrilled Rails — for precise baluster spacing and easy assembly.

When you choose Panorama, you get a railing system that offers you:

  • A complete system — all of the components are engineered to work together to provide a railing system that is beautiful, safe and low maintenance.

  • Easy assembly — pre-cut balusters and pre-drilled rails offer faster, easier assembly. Boxed kits come with all the necessary hardware and instructions to ensure proper installation.

  • Concealed hardware for a seamless appearance — everything about Panorama is designed with beauty in mind — including the concealed hardware. Designed to be out of sight, the white-coated top rail screws and patent-pending bracket provide a seamless appearance. And because the hardware is made of durable stainless steel, you don’t have the concerns of rust or corrosion which can be considerations with ceramic-coated screws and ACQ lumber.

  • Low maintenance — won’t rot, crack or split. Easy to clean with soap and water or common exterior decking/railing cleaning products.

  • Safety — once assembled, there’s no exposed cavity in the top rail, which contributes to its strength. And there are no slots or pockets where water can collect or bees or wasps can hide.

  • Conveniently packaged kits — make installation even easier with boxed kits that contain everything needed to assemble a railing section.
