What exactly is a Balustrade?

You probably walk past them every day without thinking twice. Simply put, a balustrade is the row of small columns (balusters) and the handrail that lines a staircase, balcony, or terrace. Beyond just looking great, their main job is to keep people safe.

Safety First: Staying Within Building Regs

We don’t just build for looks; we build for total peace of mind. Every balustrade we install is 100% compliant with current UK Building Regulations.

• The 100mm Rule: We ensure no gaps in our designs exceed 99mm to prevent any risk of accidents.
• External Safety: For any drop over 600mm (like a balcony or raised decking), we install at a regulated height of 1100mm.
• Interior Stairs: For indoor landings and staircases, we keep the height between 900mm and 1000mm for the perfect balance of safety and comfort.

Modern Glass & Stainless Steel Balustrades

If you want to maximize light and keep your views clear, glass is the best choice. We use Grade 316 Stainless Steel, which is the marine grade standard that will not rust, paired with toughened, impact resistant glass.

Whether it is for a mezzanine, a patio, or a rooftop terrace, our glass systems are built to be incredibly difficult to break.

Choose your style:

• Frameless & Semi Frameless: For that invisible look.
• Post & Spigot Systems: Classic structural support that looks sharp.
• Glass Button Balustrades: Minimalist side fixed glass panels.
• Wire Rope Systems: A rugged industrial feel for modern spaces.

Hard Wearing Metal Balustrades (S275JR Steel)

For high traffic areas or a more traditional look, our structural steel balustrades are the industry standard. We use S275JR grade steel, which is a low carbon material known for being tough, weldable, and highly impact resistant.

• Weather Protection: To stop rust in its tracks, we offer a hot dip galvanised finish.
• Custom Colours: We can powder coat your metalwork in any RAL colour to match your building’s aesthetic.
• Wrought Iron Experts: We are also specialists in manufacturing and repairing traditional wrought iron and cast iron railings.
