Balustrades

Timber is a classic material for balustrades that brings warmth and a timeless style to any space. Wood is a great option if you would like a sturdy, low-maintenance railing.

Metal balustrades offer a range of styles and materials to play with and are a great choice for outside installation as they are resistant to weathering. Choose from sleek aluminium, ornate wrought iron, or modern steel options. Metal balustrades include wire balustrade systems and stainless steel balustrade designs, with the finish and fixing method selected for the site.

A stainless steel wire balustrade can pair wire infill with stainless steel posts or fittings, depending on the system.

Glass balustrades are an elegant and modern option. Their transparent design makes them popular in outdoor areas, particularly where there is a view to preserve.

The primary function of a balustrade is to provide a safety barrier between a raised area and the ground; they can also section off an area for increased privacy. Because of this, it's especially important that the balustrades you install in your home or business are of high quality. They will feature better-grade materials and superior manufacturing meaning they last far longer than inferior types. They will also have more design flair, often custom made for luxurious and modern settings.

The balustrade you pick will largely be influenced by the surrounding design of your home or property. For example, an interior glass balustrade would suit a staircase in a space that’s modern and sophisticated or one that may need to feel more airy and bright. Glass is also a popular option in Australia for backyards around pools and on balconies, as it doesn’t disrupt the view or flow of light. In contrast, metal balustrades are common in commercial spaces as they are a durable, cost-effective option that can be coated in a plethora of colours and can be either sleek and simple or very ornate.
