Aluminium balustrades are lightweight, durable outdoors and relatively low-maintenance, making them a practical option for decking and balconies. Powder-coated aluminium generally needs cleaning as required rather than regular repainting. Unlike ordinary steel, aluminium does not develop iron rust.
Aluminium balustrades can be powder-coated in a variety of colours and combined with glass, vertical bars or other infills. Their light weight makes the components easier to handle during installation. Glass helps preserve views and natural light. Aluminium can offer good value over time because of its lower maintenance needs, although the price depends on the model, infill, dimensions and optional extras.
