Impression Rail Express® FAQ
What infill options are available with Impression Rail Express?
Impression Rail Express offers six infill options: rectangular aluminum balusters, aluminum balusters with mid-rail, glass channel kit, glass channel kit with mid-rail, horizontal cable rail, and vertical cable rail (residential only). This gives you tremendous flexibility to create the look you want.
What colors does Impression Rail Express come in?
Impression Rail Express is available in three colors: White, Black, and Dark Bronze. Posts, post caps, and post skirts are available in all three colors. Top rails are sold separately and available in Classic, Modern, and Drink Rail styles.
What heights and lengths are available?
IRE panels come in 6-foot (69.43" actual) and 8-foot (91.31" actual) lengths, in both 36" and 42" heights. The actual dimensions account for post offset, so two 8-foot panels with three posts cover a standard 16-foot span without cutting.
Is Impression Rail Express easy to install?
Yes — it's the easiest TimberTech railing to install. The panelized system uses pre-assembled panels that attach directly to posts with no individual baluster fastening required. No special tools needed, and the aligned balusters ensure a consistent, professional look every time.
Can I add a Drink Rail to Impression Rail Express?
Yes. Impression Rail Express supports a Drink Rail option that uses your deck board as the top rail, creating a flat, wide surface perfect for setting down drinks and plates. Note that the Drink Rail is not compatible with glass channel infill options.
What warranty covers Impression Rail Express?
Impression Rail Express is backed by a 25-Year Limited Product Warranty covering the powder-coated aluminum finish against defects in material and workmanship under normal use and conditions.
