CURVED
BALUSTRADES.
We are specialists in curving balustrade rails by "roll
forming" the extrusion. Regular curves are relatively easily
formed but irregular or tightening curves are extremely
difficult but look superb.
Flat facetted panes appear as a curve, but curved safety
glass is now available in NZ.

GLASS
BALUSTRADES.
Glass
balustrade is always cost effective and enhance any home.
Contrary to popular opinion glass balustrade seldom requires
cleaning where it is exposed to rain on both sides and with
silicon products applied (RAINEX) only requires washing
with cold water. While the glass is relatively expensive labour in manufacture is less.

BARRED BALUSTRADE.
Barred balustrade provides
a strong and cheap option for moving people safely. It can
have one of three top rails and one or two mid rails in
addition to the top rail. Combinations of glass panes and
barred balustrade are often popular and barred balustrade is
often the Architects choice for commercial installations.
