The style of your new Metal Balustrades can greatly affect the finished product and the various different property types that they can adorn.
Victorian and Edwardian Properties
Victorian and Edwardian homes are typically suited to a scrolled wrought iron style with forged detail. The ornate handcrafted pieces of metal can replicate existing wrought iron such as stairs and other features of the property, blending in seamlessly to form part of the overall design of the metal balustrade.
Georgian and Regency Properties
For the more reserved Georgian property a simple vertical bar balustrade with minimal ornamentation will be the most suitable option to complement the clean lines of the property.
Contemporary and New-Build Homes
Flat-bar steel, cable infill or even frameless glass panels can be used within modern buildings. If you are looking for Metal Balustrades, see //donkeywellforge.co.uk/what-we-make/metal-handrails-balustrades/.
Commercial and Public Buildings
Tubular or square-section steel powder-coated metal balustrades are ideal for commercial and public buildings as they are durable enough to withstand constant use and are easily cleaned. If the building is listed then check with English Heritage for any specific guidance regarding alterations to listed and historic buildings.
Outdoor Terraces and Garden Steps
Hot-dip galvanised or stainless steel are typical choices for metal balustrade outdoor usage as they are able to withstand moisture and corrosion, important factors to consider when metal balustrades are to be placed outside in the British climate.
Choose a style for your metal balustrade and it will look great in whatever setting it is to be used.
