HOW DO I MAINTAIN MY NEW REGAL RAILING?
Aluminum railings need minimal care and maintenance. We recommend your railing be inspected and cleaned at least twice a year with a mild, non-abrasive soap and water, using a soft sponge. A light coat of floor or car wax can be applied to the railing every 3-6 months to help prevent oxidation (more often if you are located in a high UV and salt spray climates).
