Cap Coat Aluminum Rails: Durability & Aesthetics
The Cap Coat Aluminum rail is durable, weather resistant, and offers an aesthetic natural wood grain finish. The cap coat technology shields the inner aluminum core from moisture, salt air corrosion, and color-fading.
Each Cap Coat Aluminum Rail comes with 2 color-matched T-Bracket connectors that can be inserted into the Cap Coat Rail for installation onto posts. Cap Aluminum Rails can also be installed into the channels of Valla and Riviera Slot Posts for Horizontal Fence designs. Cap Coat Rails are available in 6 colors: Ironwood, River Birch, Teak, Cedar, Mahogany, and Maple (special order). Each rail measures 0.63" x 2.75" x 70.63".
Cap Coat Aluminum, Wood, or Vinyl?
Cap Coat Aluminum rails are extruded with a thin protective Cap Coat layer that is fused directly to the aluminum core. The result is a low-maintenance, high-quality rail that offers the strength and durability of aluminum with the natural aesthetic of wood.
Traditional Wood rails have their own charm and organic aesthetic, but the constant painting and staining required to maintain this style can become more work than it's worth. Frame it All Cap Coat Aluminum rails never require any painting or staining and, unlike wood, are completely resistant to mold, bacteria, and termites.
Vinyl can offer similar longevity however the strength of it has much to be desired when compared to aluminum. This factor, coupled with the extreme color-fading experienced by non-White Vinyl often limits homeowners to the same White Vinyl fence designs. Cap Coat Aluminum Rails can be installed onto many different kinds of posts and can be used for both Horizontal and Vertical Fence designs.
