Be inspired by reading through our curated collection of balustrade design ideas to make your balustrades truly stand out.

For many people, installing a composite balustrade is first about function. Rightly putting safety first, we think about how sturdy it is, how wide the gaps between spindles are and whether it creates a robust barrier for preventing hazards. In planning balustrade design ideas, composite offers you the best of both worlds, safety and security with style and sophistication. A traditional wooden garden balustrade could be painted, oiled or stained to your preference. However, modern garden balustrades offer a wide range of composite balustrade colours for you to choose from.

Installing balustrades can transform your outdoor living space, giving form, function and direction to your garden by helping you to create zones for different planting and design themes. Our balustrade design ideas are designed to give you that added inspiration when looking to incorporate this type of product into your outdoor space.

Create A Perimeter

Since its earliest days, landscape gardening has always been about capturing attention, creating a focal point and formalising lines, borders and boundaries with strong landscape features. Unfortunately traditional wooden balustrade designs required endless maintenance. Working with NeoTimber’s no-maintenance composite balustrades and with the elevation of the garden layout, you can make a great statement incorporating a modern balustrade design.

Partition Your Garden

A partitioned area gives you an oasis of calm in an overgrown wilderness while you regather your strength to go again. Composite balustrades can section off your garden into zones which can be treated separately for planting, function or design layout. These can take the form of posts, a roped off section or a solid balustraded perimeter. Unlike a traditional timber balustrade design, the versatility of NeoTimber® means you can decide what works best, to give you the most suitable design option for your garden theme.

Finish Your Balcony

Creating a maintenance-free balcony is easy with composite decking and handrails. Decking is a sturdy base for low-rise balconies and our matching composite balustrade systems are designed to complement our decking range. You can choose from an antique white balustrade balcony, a charcoal black decking balustrade or any of our other three colour ranges, including chocolate, grey and teak. Providing a safe, secure handrail for your balcony, our balustrades can be fitted by anyone competent with DIY or a professional joiner.

Incorporate Stylish Steps

Steps in a garden can easily become neglected. Stone steps become worn and can hide dangerous patches of moss and ice which can cause slip hazards. Composite deck flooring does not degrade like timber and so moss cannot infiltrate it in the same way. Incorporate a composite handrail for ultimate stability when using the stairs and steps. A composite deck and balustrade railing can make for a stylish addition and focal point in your garden design. Install decking lights into your stairs and make a night-time feature whilst giving greater visibility in low light conditions.
