Designed to complement the veranda house style, the Hybrid Balustrade and Compound Curve stairway system can be incorporated into any design with balconies and stairs. "This looks fantastic and will be easy maintenance," one judge said. The system offers custom configurations for the stair rise, factory-assembled stair balustrades, and caps and rails with joints that allow for expansion or contraction, the maker says. The system also boasts smaller cross sections as well as pre-drilled rail sections to improve installation efficiency. The sections are topped with a classically sculpted, 11-inch-wide balustrade rail, hiding the assembly fasteners. Cost: starts at $15,000. 800-446-3040. www.fypon.com.
