The best balcony balustrade depends on the view, wind exposure, privacy, maintenance and the look you want. No single system suits every balcony. Clear glass preserves light and views, while opal or tinted glass may offer more privacy.
Aluminium is relatively easy to maintain and can be combined with glass or bars, while stainless steel offers a distinctive metallic finish. Vertical bars define the edge without blocking daylight. A tall or solid balustrade may catch more wind, affecting the posts and fixings.
