Architectural Gates – Product Overview

Bright Balustrading designs and manufactures a range of custom aluminium and steel gate systems engineered for reliability, security, and visual integration with surrounding fencing and balustrade solutions. Whether installed at residential properties, commercial driveways, or pedestrian access points, our gates combine durability with aesthetic precision.

All gates are fabricated in-house using architectural-grade aluminium or steel, finished with UV-stable powder coatings, and engineered to operate smoothly in both manual and automated configurations.

Gate Types Offered

• Driveway Gates – Sliding and Swing
  Designed to control vehicular access, these gates are available in both sliding and swinging configurations to suit varying site conditions. Options include bottom-rolling, cantilevered, or tracked sliding gates, as well as single or double swing gates with reinforced hinge support. Compatible with most gate automation systems.
• Pedestrian Gates
  Smaller-scale access gates designed for walkways, side access, shared driveways, and building entrances. These gates are fabricated with security, ease of access, and aesthetic continuity in mind. They can incorporate slats, louvres, mesh, or perforated panels to match adjoining fencing or screens.

All gates are available with optional features such as:

• Automation. Sliding or swing
• Soft-close hinges or gate closers
• Access control integrations (e.g., intercoms, keypads, RFID)
• Reinforced frames for heavy-duty or high-use applications

Compliance & Standards

All Bright Balustrading gates are designed to comply with the National Construction Code (NCC/BCA 2022) and applicable local council regulations. Relevant compliance considerations include:

• B1D4 – Structural integrity and safe access via gates and barriers
• D2.21 – Doorways and gates in accessways (for swing clearances and accessibility)
• AS/NZS 1170 series – Structural design actions (including wind and imposed loads)
• AS1428.1 – Access and mobility design (for accessible pedestrian gates)
• AS1926.1 – Swimming pool gate compliance (if used as part of pool fencing)

Performance

Our driveway and pedestrian gates are engineered for high performance in residential and commercial settings:

• Structural frame reinforcement to accommodate frequent use and motorisation
• Durable powdercoat finish for UV and corrosion resistance (especially for coastal installations)
• Smooth, balanced operation with engineering plastic or stainless steel hardware, adjustable hinges, and precision rollers
• Wind load and sag resistance for large-format or exposed gate designs
• Compatibility with automation systems including electric motors, remote entry, and smart integration
• Security performance through lockable systems, anti-lift brackets, and tamper-resistant fixings

Bright Balustrading’s gate systems offer the perfect balance of strength, style, and ease of use — ensuring secure access and consistent design integration for every type of project. Whether you need a manually operated pedestrian gate or a fully motorised driveway entry, our custom gate solutions are built to perform and built to last.
