Balustrades and Handrails

Townsville Aluminium Fabrications offers handrail and balustrade systems for a wide range of domestic, commercial and industrial applications across Queensland.

Townsville Aluminium Fabrications supplies and installs handrail and balustrade systems for residential, commercial, and industrial projects across Queensland. We offer a range of options including powder-coated aluminium, glass infill, and stainless-steel wire, suitable for stairs, decks, balconies, and disability access requirements.

All systems are custom-made to suit each project, comply with Australian Standards, and are suitable for both indoor and outdoor use. Aluminium balustrades are the most popular due to their durability, low maintenance, and cost-effectiveness, while glass balustrades provide a modern, unobstructed look, and stainless-steel wire is ideal for strong, corrosion-resistant coastal applications.

Experienced staff assist with design to ensure the final product suits the client’s needs, style, and budget.


FAQ’s

Q: What is the standard height of a balustrade?
A: As stated in the Building Code of Australia, 1000mm from the finished floor levels on balconies, terraces or landings and 865mm from any stair nose are the standard heights.

Q: What is powder coating?
A: Powder coating is a decorative and protective coating which is applied as a dry powder and cured in an oven most commonly used on aluminium products. Powder coating comes in a variety of colours.

Q: What powdercoat colours are available?
A: You can choose any standard colour from the Dulux powdercoat range which has over 100 different colours including the Colorbond range.

Q: I’m building a new home; at what stage should I arrange a consultation/quote for balustrading?
A: A consultation can be arranged as soon as you have finalised plans of your house. That will allow you time to discuss your design requirements and choose colours. A quote can then be issued for your consideration. Once a site measurement can be carried out for fabrication, there is usually a 3 week turnaround until installation.

Q: How thick are the glass panels you use in glass balustrades?
A: The glass used in balustrading is calculated for each individual job. To determine the thickness of the glass to be used, factors like the span between supports, wind loads, height from the ground and the design of the railing (frameless, semi frameless etc) are all to be considered while complying with the Australian Standards.
