Advantages of metal balustrade

Glass and wood are common balustrade materials but when it comes to creative potential, metal is the only material that truly shines. Creative scope is one of the biggest advantages of metal balustrade.

And it matters because balustrade plays much more than just a supporting role. It’s an interior and exterior focal point that can instantly lift a staircase and balcony from functional to fabulous. Which is why the choice of material is such a crucial decision for architects and designers.

Here’s why metal continues to be the balustrade material of the moment:

Metal variety: From perforated metal to wire mesh, metal balustrade comes in many different forms and metal types and can be manipulated without losing its strength.

Metal enhances other materials: One of the most beautiful advantages of metal balustrade is that it works with virtually any other interiors material. Pair it with wood, bare bricks or glass and you’ll have a unique, contemporary and stunning scheme.

Custom opportunity: Wood and glass can be customised but not to the same level as metal. Perforated metal balustrade can be created using your own unique pattern. At Arrow Metal we’ve even produced perforated metal balustrade featuring a personal photograph. There’s almost no limit to what’s possible. You just need the right metal manufacturing expertise to ensure the perforation you have in mind still guarantees performance.

Fantastic finishes: Wood can be painted but a metal finish can really transform a scheme. Add instant glamour with a gold or brass finish without the high-end cost; increase durability for exterior balustrade or even use corporate colours.

Clean easy: The appeal of glass is clear to see but it shows up every smudge and smear and wood often requires maintenance. There’s no easier material to clean than metal. And that’s one of the best advantages of metal balustrade considering its hands-on function.

Durability: Metal balustrade is unbreakable. It won’t rot, chip or deteriorate no matter how heavy the use and with the right finish can withstand even the harshest weather conditions when installed outside.

Cost-effective: Because metal balustrade is so versatile with so many different options, you’re guaranteed to get more balustrade for your budget. Even the most basic perforated metal balustrade in a standard profile can become something special through choice of finish.
