Overview

A balustrade is a safety element that people touch every day, so it has to be strong, comfortable in the hand and well finished at every joint. We design posts, rails and infill together with their base fixings and structural checks, so the system meets load requirements without bulky details.

Where it goes

Built for real
conditions.

Systems are fabricated in stainless steel, aluminum or coated steel and can run straight, curved or raked along stairs and ramps. We handle site measurement, shop drawings, fabrication and installation.
