The Balustrade can be supported by either 316 Marine Grade stainless steel, Powder Coated or Anodised treated aluminium with a variety of finishes available.

Each method of balustrade fixing delivers its own unique advantages. Side mounted balustrades are mounted to the side of the glass using 316 Marine grade stainless steel pins to.
