Choosing The Right Balustrade For Your Project

Our balustrade team explores some of the considerations when planning your commercial project or home renovations.

Choosing a balustrade is about more than simply finding something that looks good. The right system needs to suit the setting, provide the necessary level of safety and durability, and complement the style of your property or requirements of your commercial project.

Whether you’re upgrading a home, designing a new housing development, working on a commercial property or managing a holiday park, there are a number of balustrade options to consider.

Which Balustrade Is Right for You?

Glass balustrades

Glass balustrades are a popular choice for modern homes with balconies, raised terraces and outdoor decks. Their clean, contemporary appearance creates a feeling
of space while providing clear, unobstructed views across coastlines, cityscapes or countryside.

They are particularly well suited to locations where you want to make the most of surrounding views or maximise natural light. Glass can also be combined with
different handrail and support options to create a look that ranges from minimalist and discreet to more defined and architectural.

Stainless steel balustrades

Stainless steel offers an excellent combination of strength, durability and lowmaintenance. It can create a sleek, contemporary finish indoors for landings,
stairways or mezzanines, while also being a practical option for demanding outdoor environments.

Its resistance to corrosion makes it particularly suitable for coastal areas, as well as commercial, industrial and high-traffic applications where durability is important. Stainless steel can also be combined with glass or other materials to achieve the most innovative of designs.

Mild steel powder-coated balustrades

For projects where a more traditional, classic or decorative appearance is required, mild steel powder-coated balustrades can be an excellent choice. They are robust, secure and highly versatile, with the ability to accommodate everything from simple, understated designs to more ornate and traditional styles. Powder coating also provides a durable finish in a choice of colours, so the balustrade can complement the surrounding property or landscape setting.

More than just supplying a balustrade

Dymond doesn’t simply sell balustrades; we’re there for you at each stage of the process. Every project is different, so our dedicated team takes the time to assess the individual site, application and your specific requirements before helping you select the most appropriate balustrade system.

Whether the priority is maximising views, creating a particular aesthetic look, or providing a robust system for a challenging outdoor location, our focus is on finding the right solution for the job.

You’ll also have a single point of contact throughout the project, from the initial survey through to installation if required, meaning someone who understands your project from the outset can guide you through each stage.

A balustrade system made for you

In summary, there isn’t one balustrade system that’s right for every project. The best choice will depend on factors such as where the balustrade is being installed, how it will be used, the level of durability required, the surrounding environment and, of
course, the appearance you want to achieve.

Our job is to make that process as straightforward as possible for you.
