Safety Without Blocking the View
A balustrade exists for safety reasons, but how it is resolved decides what you actually see from the balcony. It is the difference between a terrace you use and a terrace walled off by a solid barrier at eye level.
Aluminium railings let you have both. Powder-coated posts and aluminium handrails provide the structure, while the infill — laminated glass, slats or tensioned cables — decides how much you see through. On a balcony facing the sea, a glass infill leaves the view essentially intact.
Material choice matters near the coast. Steel exposed to salt air develops rust that runs down the facade and stains the wall below; anodised or powder-coated aluminium does not behave that way, which reduces upkeep to an occasional wash.
Benefits of Aluminium Balustrades
What to weigh up for a balcony, terrace or external staircase.
The View Stays
With laminated glass infill, the barrier does its safety job without interrupting the sight line.
No Rust Stains
Aluminium does not corrode, avoiding the rust runs that mark walls beneath steel railings.
A Light Structure
Lower weight means less load transferred into the fixings and into the balcony slab itself.
Several Configurations
Glass, horizontal slats, vertical bars or tensioned cables — each striking its own balance between privacy and transparency.
Works on Staircases
Made to measure, it follows the pitch of stair flights and intermediate landings without breaks in the line.
Minimal Maintenance
A periodic rinse with fresh water, particularly worthwhile near the sea, is enough to keep it looking right.
When a Balustrade Needs Replacing
Situations that come up regularly on coastal balconies and terraces.
Rust from the railing staining the wall below
A clear sign of advanced corrosion in the steel. Replacing with aluminium removes the problem for good.
The railing blocks the sea view from indoors
Laminated glass panels keep the required protection while giving back the view to anyone seated.
Loose fixings, or movement when you push against it
A safety matter that should not wait. A new balustrade with fixings suited to the substrate restores rigidity.
Height that falls short of the drop being protected
Older railings sometimes sit lower than the change in level warrants. Making to measure allows the height to be corrected.
From Survey to Installation
Where It Is Going
Tell us whether it is a balcony, terrace or staircase, the approximate run, and whether you want glass or slatted infill.
Survey and Substrate Check
The installer measures the run and assesses the substrate — slab, wall or step — which determines the type of fixing used.
Specifying the System
Height, infill type and finish are settled, taking account of wind exposure and how close you are to the sea.
Fabrication and Fitting
The balustrade is made to suit the run and installed with fixings appropriate to the existing structure.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is glass safe to use in a balustrade?
Balustrade glass is laminated: two or more sheets bonded by an interlayer that holds them together even once broken. That behaviour, rather than thickness alone, is what makes it suitable for a protective application.
How high does a balustrade need to be?
The right height depends on the drop being protected and how the space is used. It is one of the things checked during the survey, so the balustrade is sized for the actual situation rather than simply matching whatever was there before.
Can it be fitted onto an existing wall?
Yes. It can be fixed to the top of the wall, to its face, or to the slab, depending on the substrate available and the height needed. The site assessment determines which option performs best.
Does the glass get dirty constantly near the sea?
Salt builds up on the surface near the coast, just as it does on windows. Cleaning is simple with fresh water, and surface treatments are available that help water run off and stretch the interval between washes.
Is there any cost for a quote?
No. You can request a quote at no cost and with no obligation to go ahead with the work.
