Unlike common wood or composite railings that retain heat and create hot surfaces during the summertime; aluminum has a high thermal conductivity meaning it evenly dissipates heat and ensures that your handrails will be cool-to-the-touch even on the hottest summer days.

Also, the baked enamel finish will not age, fade or “weather” like alternative decking materials. It is naturally UV resistant to the deteriorating effects of direct sunlight and will not splinter, decay or rot. Since Wahoo Rail is made with aluminum, it is impervious to insects and termites plus the non-porous surface is naturally resistant to fungi, mold, and mildew.

Unlike other guardrail systems that rot, splinter, and loose reliability over time, Wahoo Rail will keep its enduring strength for ages.

During the natural aging process of the powder coating you may notice a white 'chalk' or powder that forms on the surface. This is normal and can be cleaned and polished (Using 'Vim', 'Soft Scrub' or a cut-polish) to bring back the sheen.

Yes. Wahoo Rail is manufactured using 45% recycled content from industrial and post-consumer aluminum scrap. Because of the recycled content, this product assists builders in achieving points toward LEED credits based on the standards set forth by the LEED Green Building Rating System within the categories of Recycled Content of Materials and Construction Waste Management.
