Balustrade Questions Answered

Common questions about balustrade and handrail installation

When do I need balustrades on my deck?

Building regulations require balustrades on any deck where the surface is more than 600mm (approximately 2 feet) above ground level. Even for lower decks, railings are recommended for safety, especially if children or elderly people will use the space. We'll advise on requirements during your consultation.

Which balustrade type is best for my deck?

The best choice depends on your priorities. Glass balustrades maximize views and suit modern properties. Timber railings complement traditional homes and timber decking. Metal balustrades offer durability with minimal maintenance. We'll help you choose based on your property style, budget, and maintenance preferences.

How long does balustrade installation take?

Most residential balustrade installations are completed in 1-3 days, depending on the size and complexity of your deck. Glass balustrades may require slightly longer due to precise fitting requirements. We'll provide a specific timeframe when quoting your project.

Can you add balustrades to an existing deck?

Yes, we regularly install balustrades on existing decks. We'll assess your deck's structure to ensure it can support the additional load and make any necessary reinforcements. This is common when regulations change or homeowners want to improve safety and appearance.

How do I maintain my balustrades?

Maintenance varies by material. Glass balustrades need occasional cleaning with glass cleaner. Timber railings require annual treatment with wood preservative or stain. Metal balustrades need minimal maintenance – just occasional washing. We'll provide specific care instructions for your chosen system.
