Railing Types We Install
Wood Railings
Classic and budget-friendly. Cedar, pressure-treated, and hardwood options that match traditional decks and porches. We build them straight, solid, and sealed.
Composite Railings
Low-maintenance and color-matched to composite decking from TimberTech, Trex, and Fiberon. No staining, no splintering — just an occasional wash.
Aluminum / Metal Railings
Slim profiles, powder-coated finishes, and excellent strength-to-weight. A great choice when you want durability with minimal visual bulk.
Glass Railings
Tempered glass panels for unobstructed views and a clean, modern look — framed or frameless, sized to your sightlines.
Cable / Wire Railings
Stainless cable infill keeps the view open while meeting code spacing. Properly tensioned so it stays taut for years.
Mixed-Material & Custom Designs
Wood posts with cable infill, metal frames with glass, composite top rails — we build custom combinations to match your home and how you use the space.

Frequently Asked Questions
What railing height does code require?
For most residential decks in Illinois, guardrails must be at least 36 inches high, with baluster or cable spacing that won't pass a 4-inch sphere. We build to current local code and handle inspection.
Which railing material is lowest maintenance?
Composite, aluminum, and glass are the lowest-maintenance options — typically just a wash. Wood looks great but needs periodic sealing.
Can you match railings to my existing deck?
Yes. We color- and material-match composite and wood, and we can mix materials (e.g., wood posts with cable infill) to fit your home's style.
Do cable railings really stay tight?
When installed correctly — properly spaced posts and tensioned terminals — yes. Sagging cable is an install problem, not a product problem.
Are you licensed and insured?
Yes. Osnova Construction is fully licensed in Illinois and carries general liability and workers' comp insurance. Certificates available on request.
