Everything You Need To Know About Cladco Balustrades
What is a Balustrade System?
Cladco balustrade systems are a durable handrail system manufactured from powder-coated aluminium. The balustrade system can be used to create either a partition between two outdoor spaces or to provide a boundary to a decking area. The system consists of handrails, gates and posts connected by fixing brackets and screws. Using a balustrade is a cost effective and low-maintenance way to create boundaries or fencing systems that are long-lasting and non-corrosive.
Maintaining Balustrade Systems
Our balustrades are simple and easy to maintain. Simply wipe down with soap and water as often as required. The metal is low maintenance and is manufactured to offer resilience to harsh weather conditions, making for an ideal outdoor handrail setup for your decking area. It can be spray-painted if desired using a solvent-based paint over a coat of primer for an even and consistent finish.
Installing The Balustrade System
Our balustrade systems can be used with Cladco Signature composite decking, ProDeck, Nordeck or timber decking installations. Start by marking and predrilling the positions of each post, ensuring they are positioned over supporting joists underneath your decking area. Once the first post has been installed, follow with handrail and gate sections secured to the posts with fixing brackets. For further instructions on installation, follow the online installation guide, or call our sales team on 01837 659901.
The powder-coated aluminium sections are available in six lengths, from 1000mm up to 2600mm, and provide a durable and sturdy partition or boundary. Consecutive sections can be added to cover the length of your decking project connected to securely positioned posts.

Metal posts are made from welded aluminium and are a superior alternative to timber posts. Posts are spaced according to the width of handrail sections positioned along your decking area, and come with top and foot caps for a professional finish.
