Frequently Asked Questions
What types of balustrades are commonly used in homes?
Home balustrades typically come in materials such as glass, stainless steel and timber. Glass is a popular option because it creates a modern look and allows more natural light into the area. Stainless steel and timber are often chosen for staircase designs or traditional home styles. The most suitable choice depends on factors such as maintenance, durability, appearance and whether the balustrade is being installed indoors or outdoors.
How long does a balustrade installation usually take?
The installation timeline varies depending on the project's size, the chosen material and any necessary preparation. A small staircase or balcony may take only a few hours to install, while larger areas or custom designs may require additional time. The process typically involves measuring, preparing the surface, installing the posts or channels, and positioning the panels or rails. Lead times for materials can also influence the overall schedule.
Do balustrades require a lot of maintenance?
Most balustrades require minimal upkeep, especially those made of glass and stainless steel.
Glass panels typically need occasional cleaning to remove fingerprints, dust, and watermarks. Stainless steel and aluminium components may need periodic wiping to prevent surface build-up. Timber balustrades require more maintenance, including sealing or repainting, depending on exposure.
Regular checks for loose fixings or wear help maintain long-term safety and appearance.
Built for Everyday Living
Balustrades must strike a balance between function and design, which is why the right materials and installation approach are crucial. We use durable, compliant products that support long-term safety while maintaining a light and modern finish.
Glass balustrades are especially popular among homeowners seeking an open feel, but we can also work with other materials to match your style and layout. Our installations are designed to meet Australian safety standards and withstand daily use, providing a secure solution that seamlessly blends into your space instead of dominating it.
