Choosing the Right Style
When selecting a balustrade, balance aesthetics, budget, and maintenance.
Below is a quick comparison of common options:
| Style | Visual Impact & View | Cost vs Value | Maintenance | Ideal Use Cases |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Aluminium Posts + Glass Panels | High—glass keeps sightlines open | Competitive; modern glass systems now rival traditional post & rail | Low: clean with mild soapy water and rinse | Balconies, decks with a view, architectural features |
| Post & Rail (Balusters) | More traditional; rails break up view | Lower initial material cost; powder-coat adds value | Very easy; powder-coated aluminium resists corrosion | Perimeter fencing, side decks, staircases |
| Frameless Glass | Maximum transparency; near-uninterrupted view | Premium glass thickness (12–15 mm) and fittings increase cost | Low; standard glass cleaning | Rooftop edges, feature façades, high-end projects |
Tip: Many developments combine systems—for example, frameless glass on feature façades and aluminium post-glass on side elevations—optimising both budget and aesthetics.
PRODUCTS & BROCHURES
Protection & Safety
As aluminium is a non-flammable material and has a melting temperature of over 600 degrees, it is the ideal material for fire proof solutions. These systems require dedicated solutions to meet the necessary requirements of the regulations to withstand 30 or 60 minutes of fire. These tests are performed in close cooperation with BRANZ which you can view here.
Ten Year Guarantee
Reynaers guarantees that its systems meet the highest technical specifications and standards. We therefore issue a 10 year system guarantee. This is an insurance on the aluminium profiles, lacquer or anodization layer, as well as on the insulation.
