Composite Balustrade Advantages

NeoTimber® composite balustrades are uniquely engineered to perform in all-weather conditions. Made from capped composite, moisture is locked out thanks to a polymer sleeve. Shielding organic materials from the weather, the capped composite remains strong and resistant to cold, heat, cracking and warping. Cleaning your balustrade is simple, thanks to its outer layer of capped composite, you can wipe clean any stains or spills to look as good as new.

Timber is prone to splintering which can weaken decks, posts and balustrades. Composite balustrades don’t break or splinter. They retain their structural integrity throughout their lifespan. Composite wood effect balustrades and composite handrails are constructed differently. Plastic polymers are melted down and mixed with timber fibres to form a strong composite material which emulates wood for looks and texture but resists all moisture. This means no sanding, treating, painting or sealing, ever.

The primary advantage of composite timber is that it provides a genuine long-life alternative to wood. No timber product can compare or compete with a 25-year warranty. No amount of treating, sanding, painting or varnishing timber can guarantee a timber deck, fascia, or handrail will give your timber the same expected lifespan as composite. Guaranteed 25 years for residential or 10 years for commercial, composite balustrades for decking last as long as the composite decking itself and perform just as well. Delivering a strong dependable, safe perimeter for raised decks, garden patios, balconies, and commercial steps and stairways.

Thanks to NeoTimber’s proprietary capped polymer shell, our balustrades are fully protected against stains. This means that any wayward spill of wine, coffee or any other substance is not the end of the world. Capped composite repels moisture meaning that you can simply wipe clean any spills without fear of any permanent stains. Our protective polymer also has built-in UV inhibitors which protect the material against the sun and prevent fading, bleaching and warping due to exposure to extreme heat, ensuring your composite balustrades look good all year round, and for the long term.

Having tested and tried the market with our composite decking range, here at NeoTimber® we have perfected our balustrade colour range with something for everyone.
