Yes, different materials and balustrade types can be combined in the same project, provided the components are technically compatible and the complete construction works as intended. Glass, aluminium, stainless steel and timber can be combined to achieve the desired function and appearance.
Glass and aluminium create a light, open appearance; glass and stainless steel combine clear views with visible metal details; and timber adds warmth to metal designs. You can also combine functions – for example, a taller glass section acting as a windbreak on the most exposed side of a deck, with a more open balustrade on the remaining sides. Materials, heights and fixings must work together.
