It is a legal requirement that any elevated area to which the public has access must be protected by a continuous balustrade or other barrier. Stainless steel balustrading is strong, stylish and able to be shaped to suit any architectural surrounds. Stainless steel’s malleability means it can be bent into spirals for staircases, curves for Art Deco designs or installed flat, as a handrail for a staircase or as a balustrade for a balcony.
We can fabricate balustrades in single or complementary materials and in a variety of quality finishes. Glass, brass and any number of other materials can be added to your stainless steel balustrading to create the look you require.

OTHER PRODUCTS
We don’t just design and manufacture stainless steel balustrading. Our range of products also includes staircases, cladding, architectural features, decorative metal, building facades, metal finishes and any other unique projects you can imagine. We create feature staircases, immersing ourselves in the project from concept to completion. We are involved from design development through to installation, using our experience and know-how to solve complex design issues and achieve your desired outcome. We do most of the manufacturing in our factory, in order to meet quality controls and ensure the best planning and the greatest access to the project, before assembling and installing the product on-site.
As well as stainless steel balustrading, we clad architectural elements such as walls, columns, canopies, lift surrounds and feature walls in a variety of metallic materials, with your choice of finish. Our materials are laminated to a variety of substrates prior to installation to ensure they are able to withstand extremes of heat and impact. Some applications, like splashbacks, require a special heat resistant board to comply with BCA requirements, while others need rigidity and impact resistance.
When it comes to unique projects, Fabmetal Stainless Steel Balustrading is second to none. We have built many unique projects thanks to our ability to take an idea through the phases of design, development and fabrication, always ensuring that the original concept is respected and the end product performs its intended function.
