Timber decks won’t be complete without handrails and balustrades. These barriers assure that your family and guests are protected from accidental falls and slips. Setting them up in your decks or home interior will greatly reduce the chances for injuries to occur.
Handrails are simply the top rail that lines the upper portion of a staircase or balcony. Balustrades, on the other hand, are the upright structure that fills the area between the handrail and bottom rail. They are mostly fixed and designed to prevent unintentional falls.
In South East Queensland and other parts of the country, balustrades may come in different forms or sizes. In most cases, a specific balustrade-handrail system is always available to meet your needs.
