New Railing Baluster Calculator from DecksDirect.com

Tuesday, January 12, 2010 10:10:23 AM CST

Not sure how many balusters to order for your deck? Don't sweat it -- the new railing Baluster Calculator at DecksDirect.com figures it out for you.

It's easy to use, just enter the details for your project: total length of railing, post size and baluster type. Using your data, the calculator will figure the total number of balusters needed, based on typical building code requirements of less than 4" of space between balusters. (But please note, you should still confirm all applicable code requirements with your local building department before starting any deck project.)

The calculator is pre-loaded with product specs for standard round and square balusters, glass balusters, and other popular styles and sizes from manufacturers like Dekor, Deckorators, Fortress Iron, and more. So you won't get a generic result, but one tailored to the manufacturer and style of baluster you selected.

Use the DecksDirect.com baluster calculator now

Dekor Rondi Lights are back

Friday, March 27, 2009 12:39:46 PM CDT

Dekor Rondi LED Post Cap Light White The Dekor Rondi LED Post Cap Lights are back and at a tremendous price reduction. You don’t need to worry; they are the same superb quality that Dekor is known for. Manufactured in the heart of the United States, Denver Colorado, the Rondi Post Cap light is a true Premium Product at a fantastic price. Since the post cap is a Solid Cast Aluminum, this product is virtually impossible to damage. It will not dent or deform during hail storms or extreme weather.

With so many lighting options: Lights on 4 sides, 3 sides, 2 sides, 1 side or none Five different sizes: 3-5/8”, 4-1/16”, 4-5/8”, 5-1/16” and 5-5/8” Eight unique finishes: Antique Metal Black, Oil Rubbed Bronze, Dark Copper Vein, Hammered White, Bronze Age III, Semi-Gloss Bronze, Hammered Bronze and Gloss Black

You cannot go wrong with the Rondi Post Cap or the Rondi Post Cap LED Light. Dekor’s amazing finishes are absolutely beautiful. Dekor can even make a “white” finish look amazing.

Since each light uses LED technology, there is extremely low power consumption. You can efficiently light your deck without worrying of large electrical expenses.

What really makes these caps so wonderful is that they don’t look like lights during the day. The lights are recessed into the cap to eliminate the brightness of the blub on your eyes. All you will see is the gentle illumination and glow of the light. They are beautiful caps that have amazing illumination at night without the visual clutter of many of the larger glass post cap lights. When mixing lighted caps and unlit caps, there is no noticeable difference during the day time hours. The entire deck looks consistent. Keep the aesthetics consistent and mix and match the lit and unlit without needed to break the budget.

Acorn Post Caps: Solid design, vivid color palette.

Wednesday, January 7, 2009 10:24:51 AM CST

Manufactured in Minnesota, Acorn Post Caps are fashioned out of single blocks of cedar, ipe or pressure treated pine—delivering premium results and solid construction. There are no joints to crack apart or split over time, no fasteners to fail or rust.

 

Take for instance, the handsome look you get with IPE post caps, a dense and naturally fire-resistant wood. Subtle profile varieties give you more to choose from with the Yellowstone, Tucson, Amherst and Boulevard styles. There's also the Tucson inset demi-top post cap, with a 3/8 inch base that protects the end-grain of your deck post.

 

Another unique feature of Acorn Post Caps is their vivid selection of special order colors. Named after natural gems, these colors are true to their namesakes. Emerald, bright Amber and royal Tanzanite add rich character to your deck; or choose the Amethyst tint which creates deep tones of cherry wood when applied to the wood post cap.

 

If you really want to spice up your deck with a look that's all your own, there's also Sapphire, deep red Ruby and a lighter rose Garnet. Customization really takes on a new look when you're looking at Acorn Post Caps.

 

Take a look at all that Acorn has to offer by browsing the selection on DecksDirect.com.

Complete the picture with matching recessed step lights, in the same Torrey's Peak style, and you won't regret adding that finishing touch.

 

To complete your light installation, don't forget that Highpoint also offers Premium Transformers, Professional Grade Multi-Transformers, and other installation tools and lighting accessories.

Dekor Lighting and Balusters: Leading by Design

Saturday, January 3, 2009 12:08:24 PM CST

Dekor Rondi LED Post Cap LightRecognized as a top of the line manufacturer of balusters and post caps, Dekor is driven to continually set industry standards in innovation and craftsmanship.

 

The Rondi LED Post Cap Light is a Dekor favorite, especially with customers who want the extra advantages of controlled lighting. Special accent lights, highlights, or privacy lighting is made possible by the Rondi's customizable configurations. Lighting on just one side of the light is a nice way to illuminate doorways or steps, while lighting configured for two, three or all four sides of the post cap is perfect for creating a variety of accents and looks.

 

Another highlight of Dekor post caps is the rich array of finished colors. Antique metal black, oil rubbed bronze, dark copper vein, and even the gloss black... eight colors in all, and each with its own look and feel. That's Dekor, leading by design.

 

But don't overlook Dekor's premium line of balusters, either. Made from aircraft grade aluminum, Dekor balusters led the way in maintenance-free, elegant design. Dekor Traditions round balusters, round basket balusters, and even the illuminations style with built-in LED lighting, are just some of the styles available to complement your deck design.

 

You'll find everything you want in Dekor balusters, post caps and other deck products right here on DecksDirect.com.
