Our Products
At Otago Balustrades we supply Juralco balustrades because they are NZ designed & manufactured to meet the unique demands of our environment.
We carry an excellent range of both aluminium and glass balustrades for you to choose from. Our glass balustrades are available in a fantastic range of options, from aluminium framed and glass to Infinity® balustrades that provide minimal interruption of your view.
Which type of balustrade should I choose? Glass or Aluminium?
It really depends on your personal preference and and the look you are after. This is particularly true if you have a nice view and don't want anything impeding it, which is where glass balustrades are ideal as they keep the view unobstructed whilst still providing a barrier.
Mix & Match Balustrades
Sometimes customers choose a mixture of balustrade styles to maximise budget and ensure the best look in each area. For example, you may have a frameless glass balustrade on your deck to ensure the best unobstructed view and an aluminium post and glass balustrade on the side deck where your view is not so important.
Aluminium Balustrades
Aluminium baluster balustrades, with rails fitted between the aluminium posts, are a great option given that they can be finished in powder coated colours to match your home's joinery. They are also low maintenance, only needing to be washed down with soapy water and rinsed.
Our Aluminium balustrading is resilient, cost-effective and comes in a wide range of styles to meet your aesthetic and privacy wishes.
Glass Balustrades
Frameless glass balustrades are the ultimate in unobstructed barriers. Clear, toughened safety panels are attached to decks and other surfaces by your choice of a wide range of aluminium fittings. Because they require a thicker and heavier 12mm or 15mm toughened glass - which is a premium product - they are naturally a more costly option.
That being said, however, the widespread use and ready availability of toughened safety glass panels mean an aluminium post and glass balustrade systems are virtually the same price as the aluminium post and rail (baluster) options. With a slim minimalist handrail on top, these post and glass panel balustrades are one of our most popular solutions for customers.
Commercial Balustrades
Edgetec® Commercial Post system is designed for higher load requirements and the increased demands of commercial environments. Modelled off the widely used Viking® and Edge® residential balustrade systems, Edgetec® Commercial balustrades use a larger post for greater robustness and larger capacity safety needs.
Edgetec® Commercial system incorporate all the outstanding qualities of the residential range. They have the same range of balustrade configurations and handrail choices, including slim interlinking rails for a modern finish and look. They also use toughened safety glass up to 15mm thick for semi-frameless finishes, whilst baluster finishes come in a choice of 17mm square baluster or 60mm slat infill, in full height or split rail finishes.
The system is extremely versatile and can be custom-made in a range of configurations and powder-coated colours to meet most modern architectural requirements.
Handrails
Handrails are necessary for internal and external stairways, for the safety of users and to meet NZ Building code requirements.
One of the great things about Juralco handrails is that they don’t sacrifice style for safety. They’ve been carefully designed to add style and flair to balustrades and stairways wherever they are installed.
Pool Fencing
Pool fencing with glass balustrades is a stylish and practical solution for keeping your pool area inaccessible to young and unsupervised children. Almost all styles of aluminium baluster and semi-frameless glass balustrade are suitable for pool or spa fencing, providing they are a minimum of 1200mm high. Frameless glass balustrades are also suitable for pool fencing and the Edgetec Mini Post system is the most popular for this, particularly for the area nearest the house to be able to clearly view swimmers using the pool.
Our expert balustrade dealers can advise you on pool fencing that complies with the legislation (as of 1 January 2017 complyling with Building Code clause F9 and section 162C of the Building Act). Otago Balustrades can also offer you a range of finishing options - including stepped balustrades, concealed fixings and matching gates with high quality hardware.
