What is the difference between timber and composite balustrades?
The main difference between the two solutions is the material make-up and long-term performance. While timber has its benefits, the material is subject to weathering and degradation in outdoor environments. Composite balustrades are constructed from a mix of recycled plastic and timber fibres, offering various advantages, including longevity, low maintenance and long-term strength.

Why are composite balustrades more expensive than timber?
Composite balustrades are made of a combination of wood and plastic which have to be processed in order to mould the material. This processing is more expensive than felling and milling timber and therefore the price of the product is naturally higher.
