NOVA + Orion Systems by Atlantis Rail represent the pinnacle of aluminum cable railing solutions, combining modern aesthetics with rugged durability for both residential and commercial applications. These systems feature powder-coated aluminum posts paired with stainless steel cable infill, offering:

• Design Flexibility: Choose between NOVA’s traditional colonial-style top rail or Orion’s sleek, flat-top contemporary profile.

• Low-Maintenance Performance: Aluminum construction resists rust, while 316 marine-grade stainless steel cables (1/8") ensure corrosion resistance in coastal environments.

• Easy Installation: Pre-drilled posts and modular kits (with optional HandiSwage™ or RailEasy™ fittings) simplify DIY and professional setups.

• Unobstructed Views: Horizontal cable infill maximizes visibility without compromising safety (≤3" spacing meets IRC/ICC codes).

• Custom Finishes: Available in black, white, or bronze powder-coated options to match any décor.

Ideal for decks, balconies, and staircases, these systems include gate-compatible hardware and optional vinyl post sleeves for hybrid designs.
