Balustrade Stairs
Balustrade stairs are a defining architectural feature that combines structural function with visual elegance. Custom Design Ltd. manufactures and installs balustrade stairs in homes and commercial buildings across Dublin, Kildare, Meath & Wicklow. These stair systems are characterized by a series of vertical posts—called balusters—supporting a handrail. Together, these elements form the balustrade, which provides safety while also contributing significantly to the overall design aesthetic.
Exclusive Balustrade Stairs
Materials play a major role in defining the character of a balustrade staircase. Wood is a timeless option, often used in traditional or rustic designs for its warmth and versatility. Metal, such as wrought iron or stainless steel, adds durability and can range from ornate to minimalist in appearance. Glass balustrades are increasingly popular in contemporary settings, offering a clean, open look that allows light to flow freely and spaces to feel larger
Traditional Balustrade Stairs
Design considerations for balustrade stairs go beyond aesthetics. Building regulations typically dictate the height of the railing, the spacing between balusters, and load-bearing requirements to ensure safety. For example, gaps between balusters are usually limited to prevent small children from slipping through. Handrail height and grip shape are also standardized for comfort and usability.
