Question: Are all balusters created equal?
Answer: Absolutely Not!

Dekor has been making balusters for over 10 years.  Through the years they have learned "what to do" but more importantly learned "what not to do".  Their first balusters were steel.  They chose steel because it was a cheaper material and they knew that it was strong.  What they did not know was how the steel would react with various materials giving an almost tarnished look to the wood.  They also did not understand that condensation forms inside of balusters regardless of what they are made from.

Dekor also did not understand that some projects require trimming the baluster length.  Trimming steel balusters is not easy and special abrasive tools are generally required that most homeowners don't have.  Quickly they understood that to produce a "World Class Prouduct" they would need to do what other manufacturers could not or would not do in order to provide genuine value and quality. 

Made of Alodine Coated Aircraft Grade Aluminum

Dekor found the best material for balusters is aluminum.  But not just any aluminum, it had to be the best aluminum available.  They chose 6061-T6 grade which is used extensively in the aircraft and aerospace industry where its weight to strength ratio is phenomenal.  Remember the condensation that forms inside? Well condensation means rust or oxidation.  Rusting means the baluster is being eaten from the inside out and you will never know it is happening.  Dekor knows it is happening and to make sure their balusters are as bullet-proof as they can make them, each and every baluster is dipped into Alodine.  Alodine is used to coat not only the outside but more importantly the inside surface of the baluster.  This coating provides superior paint adhesion together with corrosion resistance giving the longevity your need for outdoor environments.

Stronger, Tougher, Best In Class

Dekor balusters have a larger diameter than those made in foreign countries.  Not only are their balusters bigger but they are thicker as well providing strength competitors dream about but can't afford to offer.

Thicker, More Durable Powder Coating

At Dekor, no corners are cut in making baluster products.  They use the finest materials, all welding is done in-house, and they even own the powder coating company.  Their coatings are thicker than anything you will find elsewhere.  Dekor coatings measure 4-7 mils in thickness, competitors are 2-3 mils.  That's right Dekor balusters have twice the powder coating thickness of that of their competitors.  Dekor coatings have been specifically formulated for UV protection allowing us have the industry leading warranty for performance year after year.
