Weatherproof Composite Balustrade Fencing

Composite balustrade fencing is fast becoming the most dependable handrail alternative for your outdoor spaces, ranging from garden projects to commercial builds. Timber, whilst visually stunning, is liable to lots of natural degradation, which can result in rotting and even failing after only a few years of balustrade installation. With our balustrade fencing, our composite sleeves fit over a steel post, giving it far more structural integrity. In this article, we will look at the qualities of our composite balustrade material that makes it long-lasting, safe, and weatherproof. Let’s take a look…

Composite balustrade fencing is, put simply, balustrade fencing made from recycled plastic and timber material. A smart alternative to timber, designed to be both aesthetically pleasing and structurally secure, using our balustrade fencing, you can be safe in the knowledge that your railing will both retain its good looks and be safe to use.

Modular and customisable for a range of applications, including on straight surfaces, balconies, stairs, and decking areas, our balustrade fencing can be fitted to various substrates to accommodate the vast majority of design ideas.

Timber balustrade fencing is an incredibly popular addition to many garden spaces. However, with the prolonged effects of weathering, timber balustrades will start to rot and deteriorate unless treated, stained, and painted with preservatives. This decomposition can prove to be incredibly dangerous, especially if your balustrade fencing is bordering a raised deck or balcony space. These are just some of the many reasons to avoid wooden decking balustrades, which can also include shrinking, insect damage, cracking, and splintering.

Unlike timber, our composite balustrade fencing will not need any treatment to ensure its longevity. The capped surface of the composite balustrade handrail protects the inner internal composite materials from moisture, protecting it from the effects of moisture absorption and in turn, staining and rotting. Because the composite material is made from a mixture of recycled timber and plastic fibres, your balustrades will not absorb water, preventing warping or other damage.

As well as being finished with a realistic texture, our balustrades are available in five gorgeous colours. There are many bold, striking options to choose from, including our black charcoal balustrades, or our neutral, understated antique and grey, which can create a subtle canvas for more vibrant pops of colour for your outdoor project.

We understand one of the appeals of timber balustrade fencing is the natural look. With this in mind, our chocolate and teak options are perfect to emulate the look of real, rich, painted wood. Additionally, the capped surface of our balustrade fencing helps to make it fade-resistant, allowing your composite balustrade railing to retain its gorgeous colour for far longer than other banister alternatives.
