### What is the purpose of a balustrade?

A balustrade is a protective barrier or railing, typically found on staircases, balconies, terraces, or around elevated platforms. Its primary purpose is to prevent people from falling off the edge of a structure by providing support and safety.

Additionally, balustrades often serve an aesthetic function, contributing to the overall architectural design. They can be made from various materials. They can range from simple and functional to highly decorative, depending on the style of the building.

What are the main components of a balustrade?

Accepted Answer

There are several criteria to consider when selecting an aluminium balustrade. First, it's important to understand the structure of a balustrade. It consists of posts that support it, a handrail, and infill.

Choosing our TECHNAL balustrades means opting for the guarantee of optimal quality across all our aluminium joinery. Both reliable and elegant, our balustrades offer a wide range of infill options.

Opt for glass infill to maximize the amount of light entering a terrace or balcony. Glass also has the advantage of offering a clear view from your terrace. Take advantage of your stunning surroundings without obstructing your view. The absence of visible fixings optimises the glazed surface further. You can also add ultra-flat corner plates for an even more minimalist look.

An aluminium balustrade with sheet metal infill will give your home an industrial style. Finally, you can opt for aluminium balustrades with a Saint Andrew’s Cross infill for a timeless look. You can place the infill on the exterior, interior, or between the posts, according to your preference.

Question 4

Are aluminium balustrade the most cost-effective option?

Accepted Answer

Aluminium balustrades stand out as an exceptional choice, particularly due to their durability and longevity. When compared to materials like wood or steel, aluminium boasts a significantly longer lifespan, making it an excellent investment for all types of properties.

### Benefits of aluminium balustrades

One of the key advantages of aluminium is its ability to withstand harsh environmental conditions. Aluminium balustrades can withstand high humidity, extreme temperatures, and coastal conditions where salt air is a concern. In these situations, aluminium maintains its appearance and functionality far longer than other materials. Unlike steel, which easily rusts, or wood, which can warp and decay, aluminium is naturally resistant to rust and corrosion. This resilience means that aluminium balustrades require minimal maintenance, saving you time and money on repairs and upkeep.

From an economic perspective, aluminium is a smart choice. The reduced need for maintenance and the extended lifespan of aluminium make it a more economical option in the long run. In addition to its practical benefits, aluminium is also a versatile material that can be customized to fit various design preferences, offering both functionality and aesthetic appeal.
