In the world of modern design, matte black finishes are everywhere from lighting fixtures to window frames. Cable railings are no exception. For decks, balconies, and stairs, a matte black railing system provides clean lines, striking contrast, and a timeless modern appeal.
At Paul Kraft MPLS, we build custom cable railing systems that pair matte black posts with your choice of stainless steel cable, including the option of black cable wire rope, finished in black oxide for a refined, non-reflective look.
Why Matte Black Cable Railings Are On-Trend
- Sleek and versatile: Matte black pairs effortlessly with wood decking, natural stone, concrete, or modern siding.
- Design that frames the view: Instead of shiny reflections, matte finishes keep the focus on your surroundings.
- Timeless appeal: Black has staying power, it works equally well in mountain retreats, urban rooftops, or coastal homes.
Posts Built to Last
Most railing systems sold in big-box stores rely on mass-produced components. Paul Kraft MPLS does things differently:
- Heavy-duty aluminum posts fabricated in-house
- Precision welding for unmatched strength
- Custom powder coat finishes for durability and style
While matte black is our most requested color, we also offer oil-rubbed bronze, silver, white, gray, and custom tones on request, so your posts can perfectly match your project.
Black Cable Wire Rope: The Finishing Touch
The stainless steel cables themselves can also come in black. Instead of paint or powder coat, the finish is achieved through a black oxide conversion process, which gives the cable a smooth, matte black look.
- Elegant and subtle: Black oxide minimizes glare and reflection, creating a cohesive design when paired with black posts.
- Durable finish: While not as weatherproof as powder coating, black oxide still provides solid protection and holds up well with proper care.
- Seamless design integration: Together, matte black posts and black cable wire rope create a bold, minimalist railing system unlike anything you’ll find off the shelf.
