Which balustrade is best for me?

Elevate your home or businesses with balustrades, a smart and stylish way to divide a space. Whether you choose the light, airy glass balustrade or the warmth and solidity of a composite wood balustrade, these features can really take your property to the next level. 

What are the benefits of balustrades? 

Balustrades are a beautiful way to partition and define landscapes and their accompanying features, including balconies, stairs and lawns. Providing privacy, beauty and safety to outdoor and indoor spaces, simply choosing the right balustrade material will mean that these features can suit any type of space – ranging from home gardens to corporate areas. 

So let’s take a look at two of the most popular styles and materials available for balustrades. 

Glass balustrades 

Here at SAiGE, we offer stunning glass balustrades that are held in a sturdy aluminium frame. Just a few advantages of glass balustrades include: 

• Superior light entry: Glass allows light to filter through, creating a bright, airy atmosphere. This appearance of openness is perfectly suited for outdoor areas. 

• Illusion of space: Glass balustrades help conjure up an expansive, spacious feeling even if there is actually very little space to spare. It’s this illusion of roominess that makes them a desirable feature for buildings of any size. 

• Contemporary style: The sleek, modern appearance of glass makes it first choice if you favour a more contemporary style – and this works particularly well for modern homes or corporate environments. 

• Simple to keep clean: Easy-wipe glass means that your balustrades will stay looking their best with minimal effort. 

• Strong and durable: While glass is known for its delicacy, the aluminium balustrades for glass from SAiGE are actually an incredibly durable design that will last for years with minimal upkeep. 

Composite wood balustrades 

Also known as composite wood railings, these features have a warm, traditional appearance that makes them a great natural fit for outdoor spaces. What’s more, the composite wood spindles with their aluminium frame offers plenty of extra benefits over standard timber alternatives, which include: 

• Traditional, natural appearance: The biggest benefit of composite wood is that it treats you to the traditional, natural appearance of wood but without the pitfalls that come with timber. This is thanks to the blend of natural recycled wood fibres with recycled plastic, giving it the homely, traditional look that complements any outdoor space. 

• Durable and long-lasting: It’s not just about the look. The strength of our composite spindles and aluminium frame means that you can enjoy the gentle beauty of wood but without its susceptibility to degradation – making it a highly durable and long-lasting option. 

• Resistant to mould, rotting and warping: The incorporation of recycled plastic into the composite wood means that the finished product is highly resistant to mould, rotting and warping. This means you’ll spend less time repairing, replacing and maintaining your balustrade railings, and more time enjoying them. 

• Safe and splinter-free: Balustrades are an important safety barrier for outdoor and indoor spaces, and to make them extra safe for children and pets, composite wood, unlike traditional timber alternatives, is also splinter-free. 

• • Easy to install: Minimal disruption, minimal effort – that’s what you can expect from SAiGE balustrades. Thanks to their easy-to-install design, it takes hardly any mess or time to install them to high-quality standards. 

• No visible fixings: SAiGE balustrades are unique to the UK market (patent number 1900644.4) with no visible fixings to provide a sleek and seamless design.
