What Is a Metal and Wood Railing for Exterior Use?

A traditional metal and wood railing combines wood handrails or infill with steel or aluminum posts and balusters. The contrast between warm wood and modern metal is timeless but using real wood outdoors comes with challenges like warping, rotting, and constant refinishing.

That’s why MetalGrain offers railing systems made entirely of metal, finished in ultra-realistic woodgrain textures. You get the same visual warmth and tactile appeal as real wood, but with zero upkeep perfect for decks, porches, stairways, and balconies.

✓ Woodgrain-finished metal handrails or panels
✓ Corrosion-resistant metal structure
✓ Suitable for decks, patios, balconies, and staircases
✓ Designed to perform in any climate
