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, a terrace). A handrail — or banister — is a long, slim piece of wood or metal, with a round or square cross-section. It guides you up or down a staircase. Balustrades and handrails play a role in the design of staircases, a terrace or a balcony.

Choosing a balustrade or a handrail

Our balustrades provide safety and protection for your terrace, balcony or mezzanine. You can choose a wooden balcony railing 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 banister? Every Woodup product provides support and makes your staircase climb safer. Among all the information available on the product, the first selection criterion is robustness. The second criterion is style.

Choosing a staircase handrail based on its robustness

Kit handrails and budget stair banisters — be cautious. Check the wall-fixing system carefully. The dimensions of the brackets are important. The fixing of the banister must also be compatible with your wall or staircase. Stainless steel and aluminium are materials to consider for outdoor use.

Choosing a staircase handrail: design and comfort

Opt for comfortable banister dimensions (diameter, cross-section, tube). A pleasant handrail enhances safety. In terms of design, match the handrail with the staircase, but also with your interior design. During renovation, these details matter.

Choosing a balustrade for a mezzanine, balcony or terrace

Balustrades and handrails enhance safety and prevent falls. On a terrace or a 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 information in standard NF P01-012. It specifies the dimensions of balustrades. A domestic balustrade must have a minimum height of 1 metre.
