Flat bar, rod and blade
The design sets the look and the price. A flat-bar or vertical-rod balustrade is crisp and economical; a blade or custom infill is more of a feature. The trick is the proportion and the spacing, so it reads as architecture and not as a cage. We build to the NCC's no-climb and gap rules without losing the line.
Powder coat, galvanised or stainless
Matte black powder coat is the popular choice inland. Hot-dip galvanising adds corrosion protection for external and industrial work. Near the coast, marine-grade 316 stainless or stainless fixings stop the rust problem before it starts. We match the finish to where the balustrade actually lives.
Built and fitted by the same crew
Steel is unforgiving when it is measured by one team and fitted by another. We template on site, weld and dress in our workshop, and install with the same crew that built it, so the joints line up and the finish is even. That is the difference between a balustrade that looks made and one that looks bought.
