Engineered for Endurance, Designed for Distinction
Aluminum railings and cable railing infill systems have quickly become the go-to choice for architects, contractors, and homeowners alike. On the surface, the reasons why are obvious; clean lines create open views while slim profiles create an elevated aesthetic. Not only are these contemporary solutions beautiful, they can offer durability and low-maintenance performance that traditional wood and composite railings simply can’t match. At Feeney®, we take it even further, engineering railing solutions designed to thrive in even the most demanding environments.
Feeney railing systems – CableRail, DesignRail®, and DockRail™ – blend durability, safety and modern style. Whether you’re designing for coastal homes, lakeside retreats, snowy walkways, or high-traffic commercial settings, these products are built to last.
CableRail: The Original Stainless Steel Infill
Product: DesignRail® Custom in Bright White. CableRail Infill
Marine-Grade Strength. Stainless steel comes in a variety of grades, also called types. Some cable rail makers use the standard stainless steel type, called type 304. But this type falls far short. Crafted from Type 316 stainless steel, Feeney CableRail is engineered to resist corrosion in salty, humid, and wet conditions. Its slim, unobtrusive profile minimizes wind resistance and preserves open views, making it ideal for exposed locations like rooftops and waterfronts.

Easier Maintenance. Even marine-grade stainless steel can use a helping hand now and then to keep it looking new. To maintain its pristine appearance, Feeney offers SteelRenewal™ and SteelProtect™, two easy-to-use products that clean and shield cables from environmental wear, ensuring long-term performance with minimal maintenance.
DesignRail®: Tailored for Tough Environments.
Product: DesignRail® Custom in Champagne (Custom Color). Picket Infill
Powder-Coated Aluminum with Architectural Appeal. Powder coating is recognized as a superior, hardier aluminum finish compared to wet-coat applications. To better protect DesignRail® aluminum railing systems, Feeney starts by thoroughly prepping the aluminum to improve powder adhesion. Feeney then powder coats DesignRail® aluminum components to an AAMA 2604-certified standards, offering multiple ColorEasy™ fade-resistant finishes that withstand UV rays, moisture, and temperature extremes. For homeowners, it means DesignRail® products offer even more peace of mind in harsh conditions. To learn how Feeney builds a tougher railing, watch “DesignRail®: Behind the Railings“.

Smart Accessories for Coastal Defense. Feeney’s Harsh Environment package includes accessories to protect cables and post holes in salty or humid climates. Feeney supplies isolation pads for posts to separate the aluminum from the attachment surface in a variety of sizes and shapes for all standard mounting options. Isolation bushings are also available for CableRail infill to line the inside of the drilled post holes where the cables passed through.
“Feeney is our favorite railing system to recommend and install! DesignRail® and CableRail are built for Hawaii’s marine environments: we don’t have to worry about the railing after it’s built.”

Featured in the restoration of the USS Arizona Memorial in Pearl Harbor, Feeney isolation bushings, pads and grommets played a vital role in protecting the updated railing system.
“An important “best practice” for projects located in areas with salt or water exposure is to include isolation pads and bushings. Dissimilar metals combined with salt water can cause electrolysis, which in turn, can create a battery-acid like secretion that can stain and etch the aluminum posts.”

Winter-Ready Protection. In snowy climates, railing systems face a different challenge—moisture, ice, and harsh freeze-thaw cycles that can wear down traditional materials over time. Feeney’s isolation bushings and pads provide an added layer of protection by reducing the risk of water intrusion and corrosion where components meet. Combined with the inherent durability of aluminum and stainless steel, these features ensure that even in the toughest winter conditions, your railing system remains strong, reliable, and beautiful year after year.
DockRail™: Safety and Strength for Waterfront Applications
Product: DockRail™ in Textured Black. CableRail infill
Seamless Transition from Land to Water. Feeney’s DockRail™ system is purpose-built for residential docks and waterfront spaces where strength and style matter most. Just like our other DesignRail® systems, this kit is crafted with powder-coated aluminum posts and 316 stainless steel CableRail infill, to deliver exceptional corrosion resistance in marine environments while maintaining a sleek, low-profile look that preserves wide-open water views. With this system you can now seamlessly match your modern deck railing, creating a cohesive, stylish look from the shore to the dock.
