Balustrades

Steel Balustrades Built for Safety and Strength

Balustrades are protective barriers installed along balconies, staircases, ramps, and elevated platforms to prevent falls. In steel structures, balustrades are structural safety elements, not decorative accessories. At Steel & Prefabs, balustrades are designed to resist loads, impacts, and long-term use.

If a balustrade flexes under pressure, it’s already failed.

Why Balustrades Matter in Steel Buildings

Balustrades must withstand horizontal loads from people leaning, pushing, or moving along edges. Poorly designed metal balustrades become hazards instead of protection.

Proper safety balustrades ensure:

• Fall prevention in elevated areas

• Structural stability under applied loads

• Clear edge protection without obstructing movement

• Long service life with minimal maintenance

Balustrades must integrate cleanly with slabs, beams, and columns. Guesswork here is unacceptable.

Designed for Structural Performance

Our balustrades are designed based on location, height, and usage. Balcony balustrades face different forces compared to staircases or mezzanine edges.

Each balustrade system considers:

• Load and impact resistance

• Fixing details to concrete or steel

• Height and spacing requirements

• Compatibility with surrounding structures

This ensures safety without unnecessary material use.

Common Applications

We supply balustrades for balconies and elevated areas in:

• Residential and commercial balconies

• Staircases and landings

• Mezzanine floors

• Indoor sports arenas

• Industrial buildings and warehouses

Balustrades are coordinated with floor layouts, reinforced concrete layouts, and steel structures for clean installation.

Safety Is Not Optional

Balustrades are not the place to cut costs. Thin sections, weak fixings, or poor anchoring turn safety features into liabilities.

If you need balustrades in Kenya that prioritize strength, compliance, and durability, Steel & Prefabs delivers systems built to protect people, not just look good.

balustrades are sturdy and sleek railing systems made from metal, often used for providing safety and enhancing the aesthetic appeal of staircases, balconies, and terraces.
