Dupont Deck Update | Sammamish, WA

Nestled in the scenic Sammamish Valley, this private outdoor living space is a beautiful example of how thoughtful design and strategic material selection can create a stylish, functional area without breaking the bank. American Structures and Design (AS&D)’s Flat Top TR200 and Round Top TR100 Railing System were chosen to enhance the aesthetic and safety of the deck, offering an elegant, cost-effective alternative to traditional wood railings.

​

With budget constraints caused by the rising cost of lumber, the homeowners were in search of a durable black aluminum railing solution that could mimic the natural beauty of cedar wood while staying within their budget. Traditional wood railings, such as those made from cedar, can be expensive, and with the added cost of maintenance and upkeep, they often don’t provide the long-term value homeowners expect. AS&D’s aluminum railing systems provided a practical, cost-efficient alternative.

​

The Flat Top TR200 Railing System paired with classic picket infill offered the timeless style of natural wood without the associated costs of wood materials. The sleek flat top rail adds a modern edge, while the picket infill maintains a classic charm that complements the design of the outdoor space. Together, the TR200 system delivers a clean, refined aesthetic that perfectly complements the craftsmanship of the Deck Solutions installation team.

​

In addition to its aesthetic appeal, the TR200 system is made of aluminum, which means it requires minimal maintenance compared to wood. Homeowners will not need to worry about weathering, rot, or repainting as they would with traditional cedar railings. The aluminum construction provides long-lasting durability and resistance to the elements, offering both value and peace of mind.

​

To complete the deck’s layout, AS&D’s Round Top TR100 Railing System was selected for the stairs, ensuring safe and easy access between the deck and the backyard. The TR100 system is designed with an easy-to-grab round top rail, providing an ergonomic and secure handhold for all users, from children to adults. The round design of the TR100 railing offers both aesthetic warmth and functional safety, making it an ideal choice for stair railings.
