Composite Balusters To Modernise Your Deck

Once you’ve completed a raised decking project, adding composite deck balusters around its perimeter is a fantastic way to offer further structural support, safety, and an extra helping of design flair. Even smaller raised decks can be dangerous underfoot, and a baluster beam and railing set can provide something strong and sturdy to hold onto. With a range of colours to choose from, and a diverse set of applications where they can be used, investing in composite deck balusters for your own raised deck is an obvious enhancement. In this article, we will take a look at both the functional and aesthetic benefits of adding composite balusters to your space.

Even smaller raised decking projects can benefit from modern composite railing balusters. Decking steps and balconies can be precarious environments for anyone less sure on their feet, such as infants and the elderly. Thankfully, NeoTimber’s composite balusters boast internal steel posts and rails, which are then covered by the composite material itself. The grooved, realistic texture also allows for stronger grip, providing function as well as form.

Compared to other kinds of balusters, such as timber, the main advantage of composite is that it is completely weatherproof, meaning it will not rot, warp, or splinter. A timber support rail can become incredibly weak and break apart completely, something that is obviously not ideal when it is supposed to serve as a protective barrier! In stark contrast, our composite balusters are backed up with a 25-year residential warranty, or a 10-year commercial warranty, so you know that they’re built to last.

All of NeoTimber’s composite balusters are colour matched to seamlessly pair with our pre-existing decking, cladding, and fencing ranges, allowing you to complete the full NeoTimber® solution for your garden space. Choose from one of five premium colours, including antique, teak, charcoal, chocolate, and grey. Both teak and chocolate help to retain a more naturalistic theme, in line with the look and feel of traditional timber. In contrast, grey, antique, and charcoal are more stylised, perfect for a garden at the forefront of modern design trends.

Beyond home and garden design, there are many commercial applications for our modern composite deck balusters. They allow you to partition the boundaries of your business space, decorate an outdoor seating area for a pub or restaurant, or cordon off the edge of a low-rise balcony, whilst maintaining a premium, sophisticated level of style. The balusters can be positioned at an angle on stairs, as well as the standard, level surface application.
