Balustrades and steps
Steps and balustrades that look right
A raised deck needs safe steps and, often, a balustrade. Designed well, they're a feature rather than an afterthought.
Two details that change everything
Steps
Wide and shallow
Generous steps double as extra seating and feel far easier underfoot than narrow ones. We match the boards and finish the edges neatly.
Balustrades
Glass, metal or timber
Glass keeps the view open; black aluminium looks crisp with composite; timber suits a softer, natural deck. Where a deck is raised, we'll advise where a balustrade is needed for safety.
