This article discusses how beautiful wood railings are. It also talks about the practical aspects of wood railings , and how they should be cared for.

Wood railings are a very elegant addition to a home. For an instant update to your home that will add a stylish touch, consider

exposed to the elements, are just about maintenance free. If wood railings are properly lacquered when they are installed, a light dusting and polishing from time to time will keep them looking beautiful. Wood is very durable, and heavy wooden
railings can last forever in a home. And don't forget the fun of sliding down the wooden railing in your home when you were a kid. Don't you want your kids to enjoy that?

There are many choices of woods for beautiful wood railings. Besides the various styles you can choose for the posts, balusters and top rails, you have a wide variety of woods to choose from.

If your wood rails may be exposed, you will have to treat them with a chemical to prevent this, or if they are outdoors, you may have to paint them to protect them. Otherwise, just dust weekly and do a heavy wax polishing once a year to keep your wood railing glowing.
