Deckorators® Estate Baluster Adds Modern Touch to Industry Leading Rail Accessory Lineup
WINTHROP, MAINE, February 21, 2008 – Deckorators®, the nation’s leading manufacturer of decorative deck balusters and rail accessories, has introduced a new baluster for deck and stair railings.
Deckorators’ new Estate aluminum baluster puts a modern touch on most any deck’s appearance. Available in black and bronze, the 3/4” square Estate baluster is 26” tall for a 36” rail height. The Estate is designed to install 2.5 balusters per linear foot with an easy, five-step installation guide. Railings built with the Estate baluster can be stylishly customized by integrating a unique basket or collar accessory.
According to Rick Preble, Director of Product Development for Universal Forest Products, the parent company of Deckorators, “The Estate aluminum baluster is another attractive Deckorators baluster that lets homeowners and builders express themselves with a unique look.”
“Every year we add products that allow one-of-a-kind customization of railings, and this year is no different,” adds Preble. “We’re giving consumers more options and that’s what they’ve come to expect.”
Deckorators balusters are available through Deckorators’ established network of local lumber retailers and by special order from Lowe’s Home Improvement stores in the United States and Canada.
