Acts like metal, looks like wood.

It's Metal. All of It.

Aluminum or steel through the whole system — posts, base shoe, top cap, panels. Nothing in it came from a tree, so nothing in it rots, warps, splits, or needs refinishing.

The Grain Is In the Metal

A high-resolution wood grain is sublimated into the powder coat — bonded into the finish, not a film laid on top. It reads as real timber at arm’s length, in more than forty grains.

A System, Not a Project

Glass, cable, and divider systems with defined sizes, finishes, and infill, drawn from published Revit, DWG, and IFC files. You choose from what we build.

Aluminum handrail cap. The wood grain is sublimated into the powder coat — that is a machined end cap and a drilled fastener hole, not end grain.

Glass base shoe at a mitered corner. The grain runs unbroken across a folded-metal bend radius. No wood product can do that.

Why Choose MetalGrain?

MetalGrain engineers architectural railing systems from industrial-grade aluminum and steel, finished with a high-resolution wood grain sublimation that reads as real timber and never needs refinishing. AAMA 2604/2605 certified powder coatings, 40+ finish options, and 15- to 20-year warranties against chipping, cracking, and fading.

The warmth of wood, the strength of metal, zero maintenance — built for the architects, designers, and builders who specify it.

Built to Last

A structural aluminum or steel core with an AAMA 2604/2605 powder coat: weatherproof, rust-resistant, and engineered to meet guard and load requirements — without a wood post’s bulk, and without warping, cracking, or fading.

Realistic Wood-Look

High-resolution wood grain sublimation bonds the grain into the finish, not a film laid on top — so it reads as real timber across 40+ finishes and holds its look outdoors.

Low Maintenance

No painting, staining, sealing, or refinishing — ever. The finish is engineered to resist fading in full sun and won’t check or split at the joints the way stained wood does.

Ready to Specify

Revit-ready models, DWG and IFC files, spec sheets, and finish documentation for every system. Choose your dimensions, finish, and infill; everything you need to draw it is already published.

Railing Systems

Four architectural railing systems, each built from the same wood grain metal and made to spec. We name them by what you’re designing — not by the part.

Glass Railing

An unbroken view, framed in a wood grain top cap and base shoe. Clear glass infill with the warmth of wood at the rail — for balconies, decks, and overlooks where the view is the point.

Cable Railing

The differentiator: stainless cable on real wood grain posts — not the white, black, or plastic-timber posts everyone else offers. Open, horizontal transparency for decks and overlooks.

Architectural Divider

Semi-private screens and partitions that define a space without closing it off — wood grain metal for interior and exterior settings.

Bollard Systems

Structural bollards in wood grain metal for entries, plazas, and streetscapes. Coming soon — talk to us about a project.
