How (and why) to add balustrades to decking…

Decking is more than just an outdoor space; it’s an extension of your home, put on display for your friends, family, and neighbours to see. So, naturally, you want it to look as beautiful as you possibly can. Why not start by adding a composite balustrade? Great at boosting safety and aesthetics in one fell swoop, adding balustrades to decking can make the world of difference.

Here at NeoTimber®, we’ve seen how effective composite balustrades can be, and we can’t wait to share what we’ve found with you. Let’s take a look at how you can take the beauty of your outdoor space one step further.

Added Safety

It’s standard for homeowners to install decking as a way to cover awkward bits of their garden. For the most part, this includes sloped land that just won’t level out, no matter what you try. As a result, decking projects end up becoming raised – or even tiered – projects that require a certain level of safety. After all, the last thing you want is for children, elders, or people with mobility issues to stumble and fall off of it. No matter the elevation, someone’s bound to get hurt without anything to catch them.

That’s why NeoTimber® created a long-lasting solution. By adding balustrades to decking, you’ll be able to install a dependable perimeter that’s engineered to last. Impervious to water damage and rot, our blend of recycled plastic and timber fibres gives you a low-maintenance decking fencing option that your loved ones will certainly thank you for. And, if you’re a business owner, you can rest easy knowing that every customer is safe and sound on your deck.

An Adaptable System

Of course, you must be wondering if adding balustrades to decking is a difficult job. Thankfully, we’re here to tell you that NeoTimber® has made it as straightforward as possible. We took the time to design a modular balustrade system that’s highly adaptable and fitted to all sorts of applications. Whether you’re installing our composite balustrades onto stairs, low-rise balconies, decking, or even concrete, we’ve got you covered. That being said, NeoTimber’s composite decking is the ideal base – a lasting solution that guarantees 25 years of ongoing protection.

What’s more, if you pair our composite balustrades with our composite decking, you’ve got a whole new world of fun combinations at your fingertips. You see, we pride ourselves on being a one-stop-shop for anything your outdoor space could ever need to look fabulous, and our matching colour range shows this off perfectly. Say, for instance, you’ve gone with a gorgeous teak composite deck. Our balustrades come in that same teak shade. The same can be said for our grey, charcoal, chocolate, and antique colours. Fit for matching or mixing, our beautiful shades make for a gorgeous composite deck and balustrade combination.
