Surface Finish Options – Special Finishes for Balustrades & Handrails

At Bright Balustrading, we offer an extensive range of surface finishing options to enhance the aesthetic appeal, durability, and performance of our balustrades, handrails, and architectural metalwork. Our finishes cater to diverse design preferences and functional requirements, ensuring each project achieves its desired look and longevity.

Our Finishing Capabilities Include:

• Anodising: We provide high-quality anodising services that offer a durable, corrosion-resistant finish for aluminium components. Anodising enhances the natural oxide layer, resulting in a hard, wear-resistant surface available in various colours and finishes
• Electroplating: We offer electroplating services that apply a thin layer of metal, such as nickel or chrome, onto substrates like brass or stainless steel. This process enhances corrosion resistance and provides a decorative finish.
• Electropolishing: A process that smooths and brightens stainless steel surfaces, electropolishing removes microscopic imperfections, resulting in a clean, reflective finish that improves corrosion resistance and aesthetics.
• Hot-Dip Galvanising: Ideal for steel components exposed to harsh environments, this process involves immersing the metal in molten zinc, providing a robust, corrosion-resistant coating suitable for outdoor applications.
• Leather Wrapping: For a luxurious and tactile finish, we offer leather wrapping services for handrails, adding warmth and elegance to interiors. This bespoke option is perfect for high-end residential and commercial projects.
• MIO (Micaceous Iron Oxide) Finishes: Utilising Dulux’s MIO range, we provide a textured, metallic finish that offers excellent durability and a distinctive appearance, suitable for both contemporary and industrial design themes.
• Mirror Polishing: Achieve a high-gloss, reflective surface on stainless steel or brass components, enhancing the visual impact and providing a sleek, modern look.
• Dulux Metal Paint Finishes: We offer a variety of Dulux metal paint finishes, including the Duralloy, Duratec, Zeus, and Alphatec ranges, providing a spectrum of colours and textures to match any design palette.
• Powder Coating: Our powder coating services deliver a durable, uniform finish available in a wide array of colours and textures, ensuring long-lasting protection and aesthetic appeal.
