Balustrade height depends on local building regulations, how the space is used and the potential fall height. The material alone does not determine the required height – the same principle applies to glass, aluminium, stainless steel and wrought-iron-style balustrades.
Check the requirements that apply where the balustrade will be installed and ensure it is designed for the level of fall risk.
A roof terrace or elevated balcony may need a higher balustrade than an area close to ground level, while an area used by children may have different requirements from an infrequently used landing. Where a top rail is fitted, the overall finished height, including the top rail, must match the height specified for the balustrade. Made-to-measure posts must not be shortened after delivery. Enter your required height in the configurator.
