"Just took my wood handrail from ordinary to extraordinary - with practially zero maintence down the road."
Rail Shield fits snug over 2x4 or 1x4 (3-½") Handrails and Fence Cap Rails to keep flat surfaces dry and protected from sun, rain or snow. Virtually eliminates future maintenance makes any wood railing or fence look beautiful.
These are the first generation prototypes of Rail Shield Handrails and made of durable PVC.
We are offering these at a discounted prince because we found PVC to be too thermally active in high heat and sun exposed climates. So we recommend this material be used only in temperate climates.
*All items are final sale.
Includes stainless screws that fit into a recessed channel and are hidden with a snap fit channel strip.
This is a well made local product that will perform well in a cooler, wetter climate. For protection and maintenance of exposed wood handrails or fence caps it can be a great solution.
Why We Recommend Using In Cooler Climates?
PVC expands along its length in high heat and the ends can flare and waver if subjected to direct high heat. This can be controlled by using screws (colored to match Rail Shield material).
A 6' length can expand up to 3/16" over a 40°F change. It expands most during its first exposure and then contracts in the winter. But it nevers expands back to the full length again. So this must be kept in mind.
Any wood railing will look better with Rail Shield handrail covers.
They install quickly and securely in minutes but make your wood railing last a lifetime.
Flat surfaces take a beating from the sun, rain and snow and show their age so much faster than vertical surfaces.
Now you can make an affordable wood railing look luxurious and with virtually no maintenance.
