Metal balustrade: definition

The metal balustrade is a fitting to be installed at height. Also known as a balustrade or railing, the metal balustrade is the most well-known type of balustrade. Its function is to secure an elevated space: terrace, mezzanine, window, balcony, staircase. The metal balustrade also plays an aesthetic and decorative role.

The metal balustrade is a safety accessory

The manufacture of a metal balustrade must comply with the main existing safety standards. One of the key safety standards is NF P01-012, which defines, among other things, the height, baluster spacing, resistance and gap between rails. Please note that the minimum height of a balustrade for a private home is 1 metre. The metal balustrade prevents falls and allows people to lean on it safely (resistance standard NF P01-13).

The balustrade has a design function

The metal balustrade for interior or exterior use is also a decorative feature. Its construction leaves room for creativity. Smooth or decorative uprights, round or square tube rails, cable rails — the infill panel of the balustrade is an important design element. Black, stainless steel, anodised aluminium — the balustrade dresses a staircase, a terrace, a mezzanine with elegance.

How to choose a metal balustrade?

Take into account the fixing options for your metal balustrade. The fixing method (onto a concrete slab, onto a wooden floor) must provide guarantees of high resistance. Take care to harmonise your balustrade with the architectural style. Wrought iron balustrades were once very popular, but other materials exist today. Finally, consider your usage to configure your balustrade in accordance with the current safety standards.

Characteristics of the metal balustrade

The manufacture of a balustrade must guarantee safety. A standard-compliant metal balustrade has a minimum height, a specific type of baluster arrangement and spacing between rails. A balustrade consists of posts, rails, uprights, a handrail and fixing plates. The metal balustrade is made from galvanised steel, stainless steel, or aluminium. Some models are bi-material (metal/wood, metal/PVC).
