Handrail or balustrade: definition

Balustrades and handrails: what is the difference? A balustrade is an indoor or outdoor product that prevents falls. It is a railing (or balustrade), fixed at height (on a balcony or terrace). A handrail — or ramp — is a long, slender piece of wood or metal, with a round or square cross-section. It guides you up or down a staircase. Balustrades and handrails both play a role in the design of staircases, terraces and balconies.

Choosing a balustrade or handrail

Our balustrades provide security and protection for your terrace, balcony or mezzanine. You can choose a wooden balustrade as well as a more modern aluminium or wood-and-metal one. To choose the right product (balustrade and handrail), please read the following information.

Choosing a staircase handrail and balustrade

Have you ever climbed a staircase without a handrail or ramp? Every Woodup product provides support and makes your staircase ascent safer. Among all the information available on the product, the primary selection criterion is robustness. The second selection criterion is style.

Choosing a staircase handrail based on its robustness

Kit handrails and budget staircase handrails — exercise caution. Check the wall-fixing system carefully. The dimensions of the brackets are important. The handrail fixing must also be compatible with your wall or staircase. Stainless steel and aluminium are the brackets to consider for exterior use.

Choosing a staircase handrail: design and comfort

Opt for comfortable handrail dimensions (handrail diameter, handrail cross-section, tube cross-section). A comfortable handrail enhances safety. From a design perspective, match the handrail with the staircase, but also with your interior design. In renovation projects, these details matter.

Choosing a mezzanine, balcony or terrace balustrade

Balustrades and handrails enhance safety and prevent falls. On a terrace or balcony, the balustrade is an essential and mandatory element. In wrought iron, aluminium, wood or stainless steel, your product must meet precise standards and aesthetic criteria.

Terrace, balcony and mezzanine balustrades: safety

As soon as the height of a terrace or balcony exceeds 1 metre, a balustrade is mandatory. You will find all the relevant information in standard NF P01-012. It sets out the dimensions for balustrades. A domestic balustrade or guardrail must have a minimum height of 1 metre.
