Strength with Architectural Style

When it comes to safety and design, a professionally installed balustrade makes all the difference. We use premium materials and precise fabrication techniques to ensure every installation is secure, long-lasting and visually appealing. Frameless and semi-frameless glass balustrades offer a sleek, open look perfect for modern homes, while aluminium provides a more traditional and cost-effective finish. Stainless steel is a strong, low-maintenance option ideal for high-traffic areas or coastal environments.


All of our balustrades are designed to meet strict compliance standards, with finishes that resist corrosion, weathering and daily wear. Whether you're after a standout feature or a subtle addition, we’ll customise your balustrade to match your space and project goals. Our team is fully licensed and insured, delivering quality workmanship, short lead times and superior value on every job.


Let’s create a solution that balances beauty and safety—built to last for years to come.

Glass Balustrades


Semi-frameless glass balustrades offer a visually appealing option for enhancing the aesthetics of a space.


A semi-frameless glass balustrade combines the use of tempered glass panels with partial frames or supports. It offers a balance between the open, transparent look of frameless glass and the added structural support of visible frames. Semi-frameless glass balustrades are commonly used for balconies, staircases, terraces and other areas where safety and aesthetics are important.


The combination of glass panels and visible frames can create an attractive design element that complements the overall architectural style and décor. Semi-frameless glass balustrades can be customised to suit specific design preferences and site requirements. The frames or supports can be tailored in various styles, finishes and colours to match the overall aesthetic and blend seamlessly with the surrounding environment.

Aluminium Balustrades

Aluminium balustrades have a wide range of uses and applications in both residential and commercial settings. They are commonly used for balconies, staircases, terraces and other areas where a barrier or railing is required.


Aluminium is a strong and durable material that is resistant to rust, corrosion and decay. It can withstand outdoor elements and maintain its structural integrity over time. Aluminium balustrades are often more affordable compared to other materials such as glass. Their relatively lower cost, combined with durability and low maintenance needs, make them a cost-effective option for railing systems.


Aluminium balustrades offer a wide range of design options. They can be customised to suit various architectural styles and personal preferences. The balusters or pickets can come in different shapes, sizes and patterns, allowing for aesthetic flexibility.

Stainless Steel


Stainless steel balustrades and handrails are elegant and functional, often used in various settings, from residential homes to commercial and public spaces.


The inherent corrosion resistance of stainless steel ensures longevity, making them suitable for indoor and outdoor applications—even in challenging environments such as near the ocean or open public areas, where they can withstand the rigours of everyday use.


These balustrades and handrails offer a harmonious blend of durability and design, often complementing a wide range of architectural styles, and can be made by our team to suit any application.

FINISHES

Powder Coating

Powder coating is an excellent choice for coating aluminum surfaces due to its durability, versatility, and environmental advantages.


It provides a long-lasting and aesthetically pleasing finish that requires minimal maintenance. We work with leading suppliers to provide a vast array of colours. Additionally, custom colors can be created to match the specific requirements of your home.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • What type of balustrade is best for coastal areas?

    Stainless steel is ideal for coastal environments due to its corrosion resistance and strength. Aluminium is also a popular option with the right powder coating. Both materials withstand salty air and weather exposure better than untreated steel or timber.

  • Do balustrades need to comply with building regulations?

    Yes, all balustrades must meet Australian Standards, especially in areas where a fall of more than one metre is possible. This includes minimum height, spacing and load requirements. Using a licensed installer helps ensure compliance with both safety and building codes.

  • What’s the difference between frameless and semi-frameless glass balustrades?

    Frameless glass balustrades use toughened glass panels fixed with minimal hardware for an open, uninterrupted look. Semi-frameless options include supporting posts or rails, providing additional structure while still maintaining a sleek design. Both options are popular for modern homes and outdoor areas.
