Thinking about home renovation? Why not install balustrades and give a striking look to your home! No matter whether you are in the office or in your homes, having surroundings that are not only practical but aesthetically pleasing can really make a huge difference to our day. With stairs being such a large part of a home, they really do have a large influence on continuing or setting the style of the home. So the choice of a glass and aluminum balustrades are a great way to enhance and reinforce the style that you really want for your home. No doubt it is tough to find the perfect balustrade for designing your house. Whether you are trying to renovate your terrace, deck, poolside area, stairway, or you are in search of an ideal design that suits your home in the best way, balustrades are the perfect solution for all your home designing needs, keeping your home up-to-date with the latest trends. They also provide structural integrity to the floors and stairs, apart from looking good and providing security. Of course, safety is always the most important consideration for any balustrade and handrail for the stairs. But most importantly, they need to be strong and stable enough to stop falls or support people who lean on them or grab them for stability. Secondly, they need to add style to what is essentially a very functional part of your home. What is the NZ Building Code Regulation for Stairs? NZ building code regulations for stairs relate to the height, depth, and pitch of stairs as well as the compulsory handrails and balustrades. Heights: • Balustrades for stairs must be a minimum of 900mm high, which is different from the minimum height of 1000mm for everywhere else in the house, including the stair landings. • Handrails must run continuously along one side of all stairways and at a minimum height of 900mm from the stair pitch up to 1000mm high in residential buildings. Whilst these are just a brief about the regulations, an expert balustrade installer is knowledgeable taking these regulations and skilled in suggesting and fitting balustrades or handrails, which are not only fully compliant but also in a style that you will adore. So how to choose a safe and attractive looking balustrade and handrail? Finalizing on a particular balustrade or handrail style could easily overwhelm you. However, one simple trick can help you narrow down your choices. To help identify your home's style, pick up the theme or features that you were attracted to and the style you favor will be crystal clear. Taking a look at the furniture, paint colors, or lampshades will clearly indicate whether you favor an industrialist or minimalist finish, or a classic, traditional, or country-style look. Based on that you can quickly find out which balustrade style to install. For instance, if your home has a classic or traditional touch to it, clearly a minimalist finish would not create magic. Likewise, if your home has a more modern or contemporary design, a traditional balustrade would look out of place but would be suitable for a classic looking home. Choose a style feature first and then the balustrade that complements with the style, focusing on the finished color and the type of balustrade fixing. What kind of materials should you choose? Glass balustrades are a more contemporary solution for stair balustrades and are widely popular for their clean and clear finish which opens up the stairs well with a flood of natural light. Glass panels are fixed in place with the balustrade fittings you have chosen to resonate with your home's style. For a frameless glass balustrade finish, you can choose from rectangular fixings, minimalist round discs, strut posts, or a fully-enclosed channel style. Or you can choose from different options for a more traditional aluminium balustrade post and glass look, such as framed or semi-frameless glass finish, or any particular style and shape which can be replicated in other areas of the house for consistent styling. Keeping in mind 'safety' that is always the most important consideration for any handrail or balustrade, the recent changes in regulations have included handrails or top rails on all frameless glass balustrades for increased safety. Knowing how popular uninterrupted frameless glass finish balustrades are, a slim top and low profile rail was introduced in order to have the least visual impact on the finished look. Available in round or square profile, with dark-colored finish, the top rails have proven to blend in even more.
