Custom Wood and Metal Rail Balustrade – Wood Posts, Horizontal Metal Infill

This custom balustrade combines wooden posts (fir, beech or oak of your choice) with an infill of horizontal metal rails. The result is a two-material balustrade with a clean contemporary design, blending the warmth of natural wood with the visual lightness of metal. It is configured to your exact dimensions via the WoodUp online configurator, then delivered as a self-assembly kit with instructions and fixings.

This model is particularly well suited to contemporary interiors — loft, modern home, open mezzanine — where a transparent infill is desired to preserve the brightness of the space. Delivery is made directly to your home. Installation is accessible to an experienced DIYer with a drill, a spirit level and a screwdriver. The manufacturing lead time is to be confirmed with WoodUp as this product is made to order.

Installation advice

Before ordering, measure the exact length of your span and the location of the fixing points (floor and possibly wall). This balustrade is delivered pre-cut to the ordered dimensions — any measurement error will require a new production run. Also check the height of your space: the standard height of 1 metre complies with landing regulations, but a mezzanine with children may require a greater height depending on the configuration.

Installation follows the standard sequence: fix the posts to the floor using the supplied fixings, then fit the metal rails into their brackets, and finally fix the handrail. The floor fixing hardware is suited to timber — on concrete, additional expansion anchors not included will be required.

Maintenance and protection

The raw wood posts and handrail require a protective finish before use. Apply varnish or oil-wax depending on the desired look. The metal rails require no particular maintenance — an annual clean with soapy water is sufficient. Check the tightness of screwed joints once a year.

Frequently asked questions

How do I order this custom balustrade?

Use the WoodUp online configurator: enter your exact length, choose the wood species for the posts and handrail, and confirm your order. The balustrade is then manufactured to your dimensions and delivered to your home. Manufacturing lead time to be confirmed directly with WoodUp — generally allow 4 to 8 weeks for made-to-measure products.

Is this wood-metal balustrade suitable for a mezzanine with children?

The 2-horizontal-rail model has gaps between rails greater than 11 cm — which is not suitable where young children are present, as they could put their head through or get stuck. For a mezzanine with children, opt for a model with vertical infill (spindles, Custom wood spindle balustrade) whose spacing complies with the standard. Consult WoodUp for a suitable configuration.

Can the wooden posts be given a painted finish?

Yes. The raw wood posts can be painted, oiled or varnished to match your décor. For a white finish on beech posts, apply a bonding primer followed by two coats of satin acrylic paint. Oak and fir also accept paint, but beech gives the best results for light finishes thanks to its fine, even grain.

What is the difference with the custom wood balustrade with vertical aluminium rails (Wood balustrade with vertical aluminium rails)?

This Custom wood balustrade with metal rails model has its metal rails arranged horizontally — a very contemporary, open look, industrial or minimalist in style. The Wood balustrade with vertical aluminium rails model has its aluminium rails arranged vertically — a more traditional, visually closed look, suited to families with children. Both are made to measure with wooden posts; the choice is purely aesthetic and depends on your safety requirements.

Are floor fixings included in the kit?

Assembly fixings and instructions are included. Floor fixing hardware for concrete supports (expansion anchors) is not provided — it depends on the nature of your slab. For a timber floor, the included fixings are generally sufficient. Contact WoodUp before ordering to specify your type of support.
