  Vinyl Railing and Porch Post Combine Classic Style and Carefree Maintenance
EverNew vinyl railing and porch posts bring classic beauty to decks and porches without
                        the old-fashioned maintenance of wood.

Valley Forge, PA, December 1, 2001—Consumers who want to vacation in their vacation
homes and dawdle on their decks are turning to CertainTeed vinyl for virtually
maintenance free exteriors. From vinyl siding to vinyl decks, consumers prefer durable,
low maintenance vinyl exteriors to wood.


The Finishing Touch
        EverNew vinyl railing and porch post add the final, carefree touch to decks,
porches, and patios. Strong and backed by a limited lifetime guarantee, these durable
products keep their like-new appearance and never need painting or staining. They don’t
rot, so railings or balusters won’t need replacing. And there are no splinters or exposed
hardware to snag hands and clothing.
        EverNew railing and porch posts are strong. Structural porch posts are reinforced
with an aluminum load bearing support system and are rated for 2,400 to 8,400-pound
loads, while the railings are a rugged, aluminum-reinforced construction, approved by the
National Evaluation Services. Children can play on and around these sturdy products
because CertainTeed’s precision-fit routed components won’t sag or fatigue. Both can be
securely mounted on wood, concrete, and, of course, vinyl decking.


Styles for Every Home
        EverNew vinyl railing and porch posts are available in both modern and
traditional styles. For a clean, modern look, homeowners can choose square styles.
Consumers who prefer a more traditional look choose the classic Colonial styles. Porch
posts are also available in traditional styles.
       Railings are available in Cambridge—for a more modern look—or the more
traditional Oxford. Different baluster styles, post cap options, and three popular colors let
homeowners further customize their decks and porches.
       For low maintenance, rugged construction and like-new looks that last, today’s
busy homemakers are turning to EverNew vinyl railing and decking.
