A balustrade is a row of small columns, typically made from wood, stone metal and glass, that are supported by a rail or spigot. It is commonly used as a safty barrier on balconies, terraces and staircases. It can also serve as a decorative element.
Balustrades can be found in a variety of styles, ranging from simple and modern to ornate and decorative, and they can be made from a wide range of materials.
In addition to their functional and aesthetic purposes, balustrades can also add value to a property by enhancing its architectural style and design.
Today balustrades are still used for both artistic and functional purposes. With architects, designers and engineers, constantly pushing the boundaries for better and safer designs, balustrades have become an integral part of a project.
