Staircase Balustrades

While the main function of any balustrade is safety (preventing you or a loved one from falling over the edge), they can be stylish too, adding an aesthetic quality to the exterior of your Wollongong home.
Our staircase balustrades are made up of handrails, spindles and newel posts and will help people navigate your stairs with ease.

Manufactured from stainless steel & glass, our staircase balustrades are long-lasting and durable, so you can rest assured your investment will be a valuable one.

If you're worried that your staircase balustrades will affect the view from your windows, glass panels can give the impression your staircase is floating while ensuring your view isn't impeded.
