IDEAL STAIRS & Handrails Pty. Ltd.

Balustrade - a railing at the side of a staircase or balcony to prevent people from falling

Balustrades are the vertical supports for a handrail but contemporary balustrades include glass panels, stainless steel cables and wrought iron or timber balusters - Our range of timber and iron Balusters are shown to the right.

Glass used for balustrades is toughened glass, produced through a process of rapid heating and cooling, causing it to become toughened and four to five times stronger than ordinary  glass.
