Balau & Black Aluminum Cable Railing - Madison, WI

A striking architectural highlight on the shores of Lake Waubesa in Madison, Wisconsin, this modern cable railing system enhances both the upper and lower outdoor spaces with tailored elegance and performance. The second-story deck features fascia-mounted black aluminum posts that provide a clean, floating appearance, while the lower concrete patio is anchored with sturdy deck-mounted posts for a seamless connection to the lakefront. A warm Balau wood mahogany top rail adds organic richness and contrast to the sleek aluminum post-to-post support rail. Threading through the structure are sleek, horizontal lines of marine-grade stainless steel cable, securely terminated with SC&R’s through post field swaged assemblies for a discreet, professional finish. This custom configuration unites materials and mounting styles to maximize lake views while elevating the home’s modern aesthetic.
