Low Maintenance Patio Balustrades

It’s impossible to ignore what’s been happening across the garden scene in recent years – decking is in, and with it comes the need for reliable balustrades. Having a quality handrail will prevent a whole host of accidents from happening. So, you need to go with an option that’s going to guarantee that very safety. Enter NeoTimber’s composite decking balustrades – the maintenance-free solution to your deck’s railing requirements.

A wooden patio balustrade may seem an obvious choice. But, for those who are seeking an easy life, timber may not be the easiest material to look after. In this article, we’ll explore why composite decking balustrades are a brilliant low-maintenance option.

Let’s be straight – timber is a popular choice for raised decking balustrades, but that doesn’t make it the best one. Though it offers a certain level of versatility, it’s let down by its composition. Wood is known for its tendency to rot, warp, and decompose, making it a less than ideal option for a load-bearing rail. This is why NeoTimber® strongly recommends going with our budget-friendly, low-maintenance composite decking balustrade.

Combining a steel core composite handrail with galvanised insert-rich composite balustrade posts, our products give you peace of mind from start to finish. Structural integrity is part of what makes NeoTimber’s composite balustrades so great, and it’s what outlines them as the best possible choice for homeowners. Safe, stable, and secure from the moment they’re installed, our products blend timber fibres and recycled plastic together to create a hardy material that’s going to last. What more could you ask for?

Most homeowners choose to install a garden patio because – put simply – keeping up with garden maintenance is a pain. So taking up the space with some decking or paving can massively reduce how much time you spend tending to the greenery. NeoTimber’s composite products have been specifically designed with this in mind. As a result of its hybrid timber and recycled plastic formula, composite balustrades are both resistant to moisture and UV fading. This means that you never have to worry about staining, painting, or treating your deck’s railing. Quite the benefit if you ask us.

Weigh this up against timber’s not-so-stable properties, and you’ll be able to clearly see which option comes out on top. Easy to clean, and complete with a 25-year residential warranty, NeoTimber’s composite balustrades give you all the benefits, without any of the drawbacks.

The beauty of NeoTimber’s composite balustrade system is that it’s designed with its decking in mind. Colour matched to NeoTimber’s capped range (Advanced and Deluxe decking), it gives you the ability to compliment you balustrades perfectly. Whether you’re trying to create a modern minimalism effect or a natural homely feel, we give you the tools you need to make it happen. Wave goodbye to tired-looking handrails clashing with your brand-new deck and invest in the full low-maintenance patio balustrade package. From dark charcoal and rich, brown chocolate, to warm teak, modern grey, and timeless antique, you can easily find a balustrade colour tone that suits you and your garden.
