Balcony

Modern aluminium railings
for homes and balconies

Alufence aluminium balustrades are an Australian innovation using TIS-standard aluminium — strong, durable and rust-free for life. The system is screw-assembled with no welds for a clean install. Choose from slat or glass designs to suit the home. Finishes use Italian Powder Coating and Metallic Texture, with colour that resists peeling and fading and withstands sun and rain for a full 10 years. Length can be made as required, with an aluminium post every 1 metre for strength to standard.

Slat and glass balustrade designs

Choose slat or glass designs, with handrails and finishing covers. Shape, size and colour can be set to suit the project.

For homes that favour defined lines, coordinate the slat pattern with gates or architectural battens. Three designs are available: Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane.

Glass design

Glass design

For balconies where garden or outdoor views matter, glass keeps the outlook open with an aluminium frame as part of the design. Choose Perth, Cessnock, Darwin or Adelaide.

Choose railings to suit your home and daily use

Why use aluminium railings outdoors?

Aluminium does not develop red rust like iron and is lightweight, making it an option for balconies where appearance matters. The coating and finish should also suit the local environment.

Outdoor use still requires care. Clean away dirt and periodically inspect the finish and connections. Ask for site-specific care advice, particularly near the coast or where moisture collects.

Railings for a home balcony

Start with the view you want from the balcony. Glass allows you to look through towards gardens and outdoor scenery, while slats create a defined architectural rhythm.

Coordinate the balcony railing with window frames, flooring and surrounding walls. Consider furniture positions and cleaning access before agreeing the design and dimensions with the team.

Coordinating balcony and stair railings

To coordinate balcony railings with an aluminium stair railing, consider colour, handrail shape and the infill pattern together during design.

Stairs have slopes, turns and supporting bases that differ from balconies. Send drawings to ALUFENCE to confirm system availability and suitability for the proposed stair installation before selecting it.

How much do aluminium railings cost?

Aluminium railing prices are quoted for each project, taking account of railing length, slatted or glass designs, finishes, fittings and site details. Share your project information with ALUFENCE for a quotation tailored to the space.

Information to prepare for a quotation

  • Drawings or site photographs and the approximate railing length
  • Preferred design, colour and finish
  • Project location, building level and installation access
  • Details of existing railings for renovation work

When comparing quotations, check which materials, fittings, installation, removal and finishing work are included so that the scope is comparable.

Aluminium railing questions

Can aluminium railings be used outdoors in the rain?

Aluminium railings are an option for outdoor balconies and do not develop red rust like iron. Select a finish suited to the exposure, clean the railing and inspect connections periodically. For coastal locations, tell the team so material details and care can be reviewed.

How do slatted and glass balcony railings differ?

Slats create visible lines and rhythm, while glass opens up the view through the railing towards a garden or surrounding scenery. Consider the architecture, outlook and cleaning access when choosing.

Can the same system be used for aluminium stair railings?

The team needs to review the drawings first because stair slopes, turns and fixing details differ from balconies. Colours and design can be coordinated during planning, but the compatible system and fittings must be confirmed before production.

What should I provide for an aluminium railing quotation?

Provide drawings or site photographs, approximate length, preferred design and finish, the project location and installation details. The team uses this information to review the scope before preparing a quotation.

How should railing height be chosen for a home?

Height depends on the installation location, building type, project design and applicable requirements. Dimensions on this page describe the product system. The designer or responsible project professional should confirm suitability, including openings and the supporting base, before installation.

How should aluminium railings be maintained?

Remove dirt with cleaning materials that do not scratch the finish. Avoid chemicals unsuitable for the coating and periodically inspect the finish, joints and fittings. If anything is loose or damaged, ask the team to inspect it and provide care advice for your finish and location.

What does the warranty cover?

Product information specifies a 10-year colour warranty, subject to product conditions. Ask about the scope and conditions for the selected design and finish, and the details of post-installation service, before confirming the work.
