What is an aluminium balustrade?

A balustrade is first and foremost a safety product. A balustrade is designed to secure a terrace, a mezzanine, a staircase. The aluminium balustrade is a product composed mainly of aluminium. Railing, safety barrier — the aluminium balustrade has a contemporary design.

The aluminium balustrade is a safety railing

A balustrade is mandatory on a terrace, a balcony, a rooftop terrace, in a staircase or around a pool. Standards (NF P01-012, NF P01-013, NF P90-306) define the minimum dimensions to be respected. On a terrace or balcony, the minimum height of the balustrade is one metre.

Aluminium balustrade: strength and robustness

Before ordering an aluminium balustrade, check that it complies with standards. These define a resistance threshold to lateral load. The minimum static resistance of an aluminium balustrade for a terrace, balcony or staircase in a home must be 0.6 kN (60 daN).

Contemporary design of the aluminium balustrade

You have chosen the aluminium balustrade. The various existing models offer a contemporary design. Aluminium is a strong and lightweight metal. Its ease of shaping allows for creativity. However, depending on the fall height, standards sometimes require a low infill panel and a specific type of railing.

How do I choose my aluminium balustrade?

Check your dimensions carefully. The various standard aluminium balustrades are assembled in sections of 120 or 200 cm. Custom models are also available. Measure the fall height, which determines the possible need for a low infill panel. Pay attention to aesthetics: a full aluminium balustrade is bright and very contemporary. If you have a classic interior, opt for a wood and aluminium balustrade.

Aluminium balustrade characteristics

The various types of aluminium balustrade are rust-proof metal products. They can be installed both indoors and outdoors. All products complying with standards guarantee a maximum safety level compatible with all types of use. Aluminium undergoes an anodising treatment that enhances the product's wear resistance. The aluminium balustrade is a lightweight, bright, robust and maintenance-free product.

Compliance with current standards

All our aluminium balustrades comply with standards NF P 01-012 and NF P 01-013. These apply to the private residential sector. Standard NF P 01-012 prescribes a minimum height (1 m) and minimum spacings between balusters (<11 cm). Standard NF P 01-013 ensures that the balustrade withstands a minimum horizontal load (approximately 60 daN per linear metre).

Versatility and adaptability

Our aluminium balustrades offer a wide range of integration possibilities. We provide a selection of models chosen for their versatility. Available in black, brushed aluminium, stainless steel effect, and galvanised metal, they integrate easily anywhere. They can be used on a mezzanine, in a loft, around pool perimeters or in commercial premises.

In practice, we have found that our customers need guidance to make the right choice without making mistakes. Use the following 5 criteria as a guide.

Safety level and base infill

Safety must remain your primary selection criterion. Moving on an upper floor presents risks. To minimise them, consider the fall height and conditions of use. Above 1 m, and with children and/or animals, a low infill panel is essential.

Elegance and aesthetics

An aluminium balustrade must provide security without weighing down the aesthetics of the space. Its vertical position can create a visually obtrusive obstacle. Analyse our models in detail. Round posts offer a softer line than rectangular posts. The colour is also an important parameter.

The marriage of materials

The full aluminium balustrade is often recommended for outdoor use. If you are fitting out your interior, aluminium brings a modern and/or industrial design depending on the colour. For a cosier atmosphere, wood and metal models may be more appropriate.

Dimensions and format

Measure the dimensions to cover carefully. We offer starter kits (single balustrade) of 100, 120 or 200 cm. You can then add extensions and corresponding rails. Always allow for a slight adjustment for corners, returns and handrail fittings.

The installation context

This concerns both aesthetics and exposure to external conditions. The balustrade must be harmonised with the design of the room or the architecture if it is an outdoor installation. It must also meet climatic conditions (temperature, humidity) and usage conditions (occasional, intensive).

FAQ - Your questions, our answers

For any home equipment purchase, it is important to ask the right questions. These may concern the thickness of posts, the finish, the fixing, the safety, or the applicable guarantee. To support you from our very first exchanges, we have gathered here the main questions asked by our customers.

Why must my balustrade comply with standards?

First, because a balustrade that complies with standards enhances the safety of occupants. Clearly, it prevents falls and accidents. Second, because in the event of a problem, your insurance expert will verify that the balustrade complies with current standards.

Can I install my balustrade myself?

Of course. Woodup aluminium balustrades are designed precisely for DIY installation. If you are used to DIY and have a minimum of tools, you can go ahead with the installation. Remember to purchase the fixing screws, which are not included.

Where should an aluminium balustrade be installed as a priority?

A handrail must be installed wherever a risk of falling exists. In practice: terrace, balcony, mezzanine, staircase, narrow passage, storage area. The general rule requires a balustrade wherever a fall of more than 1 m is possible.

Can an aluminium balustrade be installed outdoors?

The aluminium balustrade is designed primarily for outdoor installation. Aluminium is a metal naturally protected against oxidation and rust. However, the refined aesthetics of our balustrades also make indoor installation possible.

What should I do if I discover a problem after installation?

Our aluminium balustrades benefit from the guarantee against hidden defects. Its duration is 2 years from the discovery of the hidden defect. However, such cases are extremely rare. Woodup products are of very high quality. To date, very few returns of this type have been recorded.
