The word, Balustrade has 17th-century Italian origins, when the word ‘balusters’ referred to the columns used in traditional Italian architecture. Today Balustrade means a row of balusters (posts) topped by a rail or a low parapet or barrier, designed for safety around areas such as raised decking, patios or balconies.
