At BGST, our balustrades are more than just functional safety barriers; they’re an integral design feature that enhances both the look and the livability of your home, balcony, deck or staircase. Whether you’re renovating an existing space or building new, choosing the right balustrade system combines safety, style, and structural integrity to create spaces that are not only compliant with Australian building codes but also visually appealing.

In Australia, all balustrade installations must adhere to strict regulations under the National Construction Code (NCC) and relevant Australian Standards. These standards are in place to ensure balustrades perform reliably as safety features:

• Minimum height requirements: Balustrades are typically required to be at least 1000mm high to protect against falls.

• Gap limits: Open spaces between balustrade components must be small enough (generally no more than 125mm) to prevent children or pets from getting through.

• Load strength: Balustrade systems are engineered to withstand everyday use and forces such as leaning or impact.

By choosing BGST balustrade products, you get full peace of mind that our solutions meet compliance requirements, protecting your family, guests and property for years to come.
