Benefits Of Quality Balustrades

Aside from the aesthetic charm and beauty that our aluminium balustrades will bring, there are a range of other benefits you will enjoy by having high-quality balustrade systems installed at your property.


They can provide extra security, not just against would-be thieves but they are also an excellent safety mechanism when there are children around, providing a barrier to prevent them from falling from a height.


And when it comes to home renovation projects, balustrades are one of the simplest ways to add immediate beauty that will add value to your home. In many cases, the value will exceed the total cost of the balustrade design, manufacture and installation process.

As a local business, we have a strong customer focus and vow to not only meet customer expectations but to exceed them. Once the design process has been completed, your balustrade will be hand-crafted locally in our workshop with care and precision before installation.

Civico’s Range of Custom Balustrades

We carry a wide range of colour, style and material options to suit different properties. Please note that by law, any balustrading or safety railing that is installed on a balcony over 4 metres off the ground cannot have a climbable design (e.g., wired, slatted or decorative cut-outs); they must prevent small children from being able to climb them. For these applications, we recommend aluminium balustrading, glass balustrading and vertical bar designs. Visit our showroom for our sample designs and styles.

Glass Balustrades

Our glass balustrades can be made from toughened or laminated glass, both are a quality product. Toughened glass is strong and used in applications where an edge is unframed and requires polishing. Should it break, however, it will shatter, laminated glass on the other hand, if broken will crack and stay in one piece. We can advise the appropriate glass for the correct application. Both are available in different tints and patterns.

Wire Balustrades

Wire balustrades utilise marine-grade stainless steel wire and fittings. Whilst we provide an aluminium frame with the stainless-steel components, there is opportunity to marry other products such as timber with these components. We are more than happy to work in with other trades to achieve the desired outcome.

Slatted Balustrades

Slatted balustrades use an aluminium slat (often 65×16) to run horizontally to make up the required 1.0 metre high safety rail. The slats can vary in gaps and can allow for a more private area when required. They can also run vertically which can achieve the look of a painted timber balustrade from a time gone by, without the maintenance of timber.

Decorative Balustrades

Decorative balustrades are typically used in older ‘Federation’-style homes, and often include the highest quality cast aluminium lace panels to achieve that old world charm.


We also offer a huge range of fencing products, including fencing gates, fencing privacy screens, pool fences and a versatile set of handrail systems.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Do you use contractors?

    No, we’re proud to say that we employ a team of skilled professionals with years of experience in balustrading and fencing, who are dedicated to ensuring you’re as satisfied with the end result as they are.

  • How long do your balustrades last?

    We offer three-year warranties for all components and installation, and one year on the paint of powder-coated products. Having said that, it’s common for our balustrades to last well over 10 years, and our customers tend to replace them only out of a desire for a new design.

  • What is the difference between toughened and laminated glass?

    Toughened glass is heated in a furnace to strengthen the glass and for this reason is the product to use when an edge of the glass is exposed without a frame. Laminated safety glass has a film in the centre of two pieces of glass and for this reason has the advantage of staying together in one piece should it break. To understand the correct glass for the right application come and see our friendly staff.

  • Do you import your products?

    All our products are manufactured locally to suit your needs specifically; it’s one of the reasons why we can implement custom artistic designs into our work.

  • Why should you choose our balustrading services in Newcastle?

    When it comes to your balustrading needs, choosing the right provider is important for both aesthetic appeal and property safety. Our team of experienced professionals is dedicated to crafting solutions tailored to each client’s unique needs and preferences, ensuring personalised and thoughtful project execution. Our commitment to stringent safety standards means each installation meets regulatory requirements, offering you added peace of mind. With a reputation for excellence and a track record of satisfied customers, we are a trusted name in the industry, dedicated to delivering outstanding results on every project.

  • What is the standard gap between balustrade posts?

    The standard gap between balustrade posts plays a crucial role in ensuring the safety and integrity of the structure. According to Australian standards, the maximum gap allowed is 125mm. This measurement is designed to prevent accidents, particularly by ensuring that children cannot pass through or become trapped. It’s important to adhere to this guideline strictly during installation to comply with safety regulations and maintain the structural integrity of the balustrade. Our installations always follow these standards meticulously, ensuring compliance and the safety of all users.

  • What are the different types of balustrades?

    Some different types of balustrades are wire, slatted and decorative. A wire balustrade is a popular choice for modern homes, providing a sleek and minimalist look, while also offering an unobstructed view. Slatted balustrades are another contemporary option, with horizontal or vertical panels creating a unique design feature. Decorative balustrades can add character and charm to any property with their intricate designs and patterns. Balustrades can be manufactured from glass or aluminium for a modern and sophisticated look. Ultimately, the type you choose will depend on personal preference, budget and the style of your property.

  • What regulations do I need to adhere to when installing a balustrade?

    When installing a balustrade in Australia, adhering to the Building Code of Australia (BCA) and relevant Australian Standards (AS) is crucial. These regulations outline the safety and suitability standards for balustrades, covering various aspects of construction. They include minimum height requirements, the strength and stability needed to withstand applied forces and the maximum allowable gaps and openings to prevent accidents, especially involving children. Remember, non-compliance can lead to significant penalties and safety risks. Always consider a professional service to ensure all regulations are met.
