Frequently Asked Questions

  • What is the purpose of a picket balustrade?

    A picket balustrade is designed to provide fall protection on elevated surfaces like balconies, staircases and verandahs. It also serves a decorative function, adding structure and style to outdoor and indoor spaces. The evenly spaced vertical pickets help prevent accidents and meet strict safety regulations, making them especially suitable for homes with children or pets. They're often used to complement heritage-style homes but can also be customised to suit modern architecture.

  • Are picket balustrades compliant with building codes in NSW?

    Yes, picket balustrades can be fully compliant with New South Wales building codes when properly designed and installed. The National Construction Code (NCC) and Australian Standards require specific picket spacing (typically less than 125mm), balustrade height (generally 1 metre or higher for balconies), and structural strength. Working with licensed installers ensures your balustrade meets these requirements for both safety and legal approval, particularly in residential developments or renovations.

  • Can I customise the look of my picket balustrade?

    Absolutely. Picket balustrades are one of the most versatile styles in terms of design. You can choose from different picket shapes, spacing, materials (like aluminium or steel), and finishes such as powder-coating or galvanising. We also offer options for decorative top rails and custom profiles that align with both modern and traditional builds. A tailored design ensures your balustrade doesn’t just meet code—it complements your property perfectly.
