Aluminium
Aluminium is an inexpensive option and is very low maintenance, which is good if you have small children.
Aluminium is extremely durable and is suitable for all weather conditions.
On a balcony/pool fence, aluminium will slightly obstruct views of the pool or from the balcony.
Increased safety with the glazed options, however, all our products are built to comply with stringent Australian Standards and BCA codes.
Stainless Steel
Stainless steel is a ‘must have’ product and is very aesthetically pleasing. It can be mixed with glass for a stylish and contemporary look.
If you live near the coast, stainless steel is not recommended for outdoor use. This is because the sea air causes the steel to ‘tea-stain’, which makes the steel look like it’s rusting. A lot of cleaning and maintenance is required to prevent ‘tea-staining’.
Stainless steel is more expensive than aluminium. If you are looking for an inexpensive option, you may consider an aluminium balustrade with a brushed stainless steel finish.
