Aluminium Powdercoated Balustrade Systems – Multiple Infill Options

Our aluminium powdercoated balustrade systems offer a comprehensive range of compliant, durable, and architecturally refined solutions for balconies, staircases, terraces, and elevated areas across residential, commercial, and public environments. Each system is fabricated from structural-grade aluminium and finished with UV-stable architectural-grade polyester powdercoat, providing long-term resistance to corrosion, fading, and weather exposure — ideal for both urban and coastal applications.

These systems are designed to provide both aesthetic flexibility and regulatory compliance with the latest NCC and Australian Standards, offering architects and builders a suite of options to meet varying design intents and site requirements.

System Types & Infill Options

We offer a variety of infill and framing configurations to suit a wide range of architectural styles and functional needs:

• Vertical Infills with Midrail (19x19mm or 25x25mm or similar): A clean, uniform system with added structural rigidity and a midrail for high-traffic applications. Typically spaced at 100mm inside-to-inside to comply with NCC climbability and gap regulations.
• Vertical Infills with No Midrail: A minimalist alternative maintaining the same compliant bar spacing, suited to low-rise residential or design-driven applications.
• Flatbar Infills: A sleek, contemporary option offering privacy and a linear visual profile, often used in commercial or mixed-use environments.
• Hamptons Style Balustrades: Featuring larger vertical infills and decorative detailing to match traditional and heritage-inspired façades.
• 3D Cantilevered Infills: Architecturally striking, this infill solution features dimensionally projected elements that integrate form and shadow play for bold façade expression.
• Glass Balustrade – Glazed Framed System: Engineered for structural performance and clarity, using framed toughened safety glass panels for open views and wind protection.
• Frameless Glazing Channel (Structural Glass): A seamless solution where glass panels are installed into a concealed or surface-mounted glazing channel, suitable for high-end residential or commercial projects.
• Perforated Mesh Infill Panels: Custom-shaped and powder coated
•  panels provide visual screening and safety while allowing airflow — ideal for educational, industrial, or civic environments.
• Wire Infill Systems: Tensioned stainless steel wire ropes for a contemporary, lightweight appearance, often used in coastal projects or where airflow is a priority.
• Horizontal Infills: Horizontal rails or rods designed to comply with non-climbable zone regulations, typically used in private residential settings or where design discretion is applied.

Compliance & Standards

These systems are engineered to comply with the National Construction Code (NCC/BCA 2022), including:

• B1D4 – Structural provisions for balustrades and barriers
• D3D17 to D3D22 – Provisions related to barriers in accessible paths of travel and public access areas

All products are designed and tested in accordance with the following Australian Standards:

• AS/NZS 1170.0:2002 – Structural Design Actions (General Principles)
• AS/NZS 1170.1:2002 – Structural Design Actions (Permanent, Imposed and Other Actions)
• AS/NZS 1170.2:2021 – Structural Design Actions (Wind Actions)
• AS/NZS 1664.1:1997 – Aluminium Structures (Limit State Design)
• AS1288:2021 – Glass in Buildings (where glazing is integrated; not applicable for non-glazed systems)
• AS1428.1 – Design for Access and Mobility (where applicable, particularly where handrails are integrated or fixed to balustrades)

Performance

Balustrades are site-specifically engineered to meet or exceed the line load requirements defined by the NCC:

• 0.6kN/m for domestic and residential settings
• 1.5kN/m for public, commercial, or assembly spaces (where specified)

Finishes

All aluminium components are finished with architectural-grade polyester thermoset powders for superior UV resistance and surface durability. A broad range of colours and textures is available from the Dulux Powder Coatings range to complement any design vision.

This suite of balustrade systems offers builders and architects flexibility, compliance, and design excellence — delivering consistent performance, visual appeal, and long-term value across all project types.
