Commercial Balustrades

Materials & Design Options for Decking Balustrades

We supply balustrade systems specifically engineered for outdoor decking areas, including glass, stainless steel, and wire balustrades. Glass decking balustrades create a clean, open feel while maintaining clear sightlines across gardens, terraces, and landscaped outdoor spaces.

Stainless steel systems offer strength, durability, and a modern aesthetic, making them well-suited to high-use commercial environments. Wire balustrades provide a minimalist, practical solution for defining decked areas without obstructing views. All systems can be finished with external-grade handrails and materials designed to perform reliably in exposed outdoor conditions.

The Benefits of a Decking Balustrade

Decking balustrades provide essential safety while enhancing the structure and usability of outdoor spaces. They help define decked areas clearly, creating secure boundaries for raised platforms, steps, and level changes in both commercial and residential settings.

Glass, stainless steel, and wire systems offer durability and weather resistance, making them suitable for year-round outdoor use with minimal maintenance. In commercial environments, well-designed decking balustrades also contribute to a polished, professional appearance, improving the overall experience of outdoor seating, leisure, and communal spaces without obstructing views or natural light.

Decking Balustrade FAQs

Are decking balustrades required by building regulations?

Decking balustrades are required where there is a change in level that could present a fall risk. For commercial projects, balustrades must meet UK Building Regulations for height, load, and safety, depending on the setting and usage.

Which balustrade system is best for outdoor decking?

Glass, stainless steel, and wire balustrades are all suitable for decking areas. Glass is ideal for maintaining open views, stainless steel offers maximum durability in high-traffic areas, and wire systems provide a clean, practical solution for defining spaces.

Are decking balustrades suitable for commercial outdoor areas?

Yes. Decking balustrades are widely used in commercial environments such as hotels, bars, restaurants, leisure venues, and apartment developments, where safety, durability, and appearance are equally important.

Do decking balustrades require a lot of maintenance?

No. Modern decking balustrades are designed for external use and require minimal maintenance. Occasional cleaning and routine inspections are typically sufficient to keep systems performing and looking their best.

Can decking balustrades be supplied only or fully installed?

Yes. We offer both supply-only options for contractors and full design, supply, and installation services for commercial decking projects across the UK, with local residential services available where suitable.
