Custom-Made Wood + Aluminium Rail Balustrade with Timber Base Panel – Secure Contemporary Design

This custom balustrade combines timber posts (fir, beech or oak), a full timber base panel at the bottom and horizontal aluminium rails at the top. This semi-solid structure is designed for configurations where enhanced low-level protection is required — presence of pets, open mezzanines with risk of objects falling, or simply to visually define the base of the balustrade. The full timber base panel ensures opacity at the bottom of the balustrade, while the aluminium rails at the top maintain the visual lightness of the whole.

Configured to your exact dimensions via the WoodUp configurator, delivered as a self-assembly kit with instructions and fixings included. For indoor use only. Lead time to be confirmed.

Installation tips

This model is more complex to install than simple infill models — the timber base panel and the aluminium rails are two distinct systems to be assembled in order. Follow the supplied instructions carefully. Start with the posts, then fix the timber base panel, and finish with the aluminium rails and handrail. Apply the wood finish before fitting the aluminium rails to avoid drips on the metal.

Maintenance and protection

Apply varnish or oil-wax to the timber sections before use. The aluminium rails require no treatment — clean with soapy water. Check the tightness of assemblies annually. Oak is recommended for sections with slight moisture or thermal variations (glazed roof, entrance).

Frequently asked questions

What base panel height is this model available in?

The height of the timber base panel is configurable to your requirements at the time of ordering. It typically represents 1/3 to 1/2 of the total balustrade height (33 to 50cm on a 1m balustrade). For specific requirements (very high or very low base panel), contact WoodUp before finalising the configuration.

Is this balustrade suitable for a large dog?

Yes. The full timber base panel at the bottom prevents a large dog from putting its head through or leaning on the rails. For maximum safety with very active animals, check that the height of the base panel exceeds the animal's shoulder height. A base panel of 40 to 50cm is suitable for most large breeds.

What is the difference from the timber balustrade with metal rails model without base panel (timber balustrade with metal rails made to measure)?

The timber balustrade with metal rails made to measure has no base panel: the horizontal metal rails run the full height between the bottom rail and the handrail. This timber balustrade with aluminium rails + base panel adds a full timber base panel at the bottom — enhanced protection at the base of the balustrade, useful with pets or to visually define the base. Both are made to measure and available with timber posts.

Are the aluminium rails treated against corrosion?

Yes. The aluminium rails are anodised — an in-depth surface treatment that provides lasting resistance to corrosion and minor scratches. For indoor use, they require no special maintenance beyond an annual clean with soapy water.

Is this model with base panel heavier to install than a standard balustrade?

The overall weight is indeed greater than a balustrade without a base panel, but installation requires no extra effort — the pieces are pre-cut and the instructions guide you through each step. Allow for two people to hold the timber base panel in place while fixing the posts, then one person for the aluminium rails and handrail. The main challenge is ensuring perfect alignment between the timber base panel and the aluminium rails — a spirit level is essential.
