Steel Balustrades – Strong, Safe & Factory-Direct
Balustrades built on our proven W-profile palisade system – using hot-dip galvanised steel, glass-filled nylon brackets and stainless-steel fasteners for maximum durability.
- W-shaped pales for extra strength
- No welding – fully mechanical assembly
- Round-top finish for a clean, modern look
Balustrades Engineered Like Our Palisade Fencing
Our balustrades are manufactured in exactly the same way as our W-profile palisade panels – just in a shorter height and with a round-top rail.
Instead of traditional welded balustrades, we use:
- W-shaped steel pales, punched with the first hole 15 mm from the top, bolted through the top bearer.
- Top and bottom steel bearers, rolled and pre-punched for perfect spacing.
- Glass-filled nylon brackets to connect the panel to the posts – extremely strong, UV-stable and corrosion-free.
- Stainless-steel bolts, nuts and washers for every connection.
- A 25×1.6 mm galvanised round tube clamped on top of the pales and bearer to create a smooth, strong round-topfinish.
The result is a balustrade system that is straighter, stronger and more durable than conventional welded systems.
Why Our Balustrades Are Different
- No welding – ever
All panels are mechanically assembled. No weld cracks, no grind marks and no burnt paint.
- Maximum corrosion protection
Hot-dip galvanised steel (Z275), stainless fixings and nylon brackets mean no rust streaks on your walls or tiles.
- Superior stiffness
The W-profile pales and clamped round-top rail work together to create a very rigid frame, even over long spans.
- Fast, clean installation
Panels arrive fully assembled from our factory. Installers simply set out the posts, bolt the panels in place and the job is done.
- Perfect for coastal conditions
Designed for Cape Town’s harsh coastal climate – ideal for apartments, hotels and exposed balconies.
Ideal for These Projects
- Apartment balconies & walkways
- Duplex and townhouse developments
- Guest houses and hotels
- Exterior and interior staircases
- Office and industrial platforms
