Balustrades Across Newcastle, the Hunter Valley and Port Stephens
We design, fabricate and install custom balustrades for homes and commercial sites across Newcastle, Lake Macquarie, Port Stephens and the Hunter Valley. Every balustrade is made to measure for your deck, balcony, staircase or pool area, so it suits the space and the style of the property.
Built for coastal and Hunter conditions
Salt air near the coast and the heat of the Hunter Valley are hard on metal. For outdoor balustrades we recommend 316 grade stainless steel, which resists corrosion far better than 304 grade. Our guide to 304 vs 316 stainless steel explains the difference, and our balustrade maintenance tips cover how to keep them looking new.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between glass and wire balustrades?
Glass balustrades provide unobstructed views and a modern finish, while wire balustrades offer a more cost-effective and flexible option with a contemporary look.
Do balustrades need to comply with Australian Standards?
Yes, balustrades must comply with the National Construction Code and Australian Standards for height, load, and safety.
Is a top rail required on glass balustrades?
Yes, if there is a fall of 1 metre or more, a top rail is required to meet safety regulations.
Can balustrades be customised for residential and commercial projects?
Yes, balustrades can be custom designed to suit staircases, balconies, and commercial applications.
What materials are best for outdoor balustrades?
316 or 2205 grade stainless steel and toughened glass are best for outdoor use due to their durability and resistance to corrosion.
Do you install balustrades in the Hunter Valley and Port Stephens?
Yes. We design and install balustrades across Newcastle, Lake Macquarie, Port Stephens and the Hunter Valley, for both homes and commercial sites.
Which stainless steel grade is best for balustrades near the coast?
316 grade stainless steel is the better choice near the coast or a pool. It has higher corrosion resistance than 304 grade, so it holds its finish longer in salt air.
