Attention To Detail With Quality Aluminium Balustrades & Handrails

Aluminium balustrades and handrails are popular choices for both residential and commercial properties due to their durability, versatility, and low-maintenance requirements.

The advantages of using aluminium for balustrades and handrails include:

  1. Durability: Aluminium is a strong and durable material that can withstand heavy loads and resist corrosion, making it ideal for outdoor or high-traffic areas.
  2. Versatility: Aluminium can be easily moulded and shaped to fit any design, making it a versatile choice for any staircase or balcony.
  3. Low-maintenance: Aluminium is low-maintenance and does not require painting or staining, making it a convenient and cost-effective option for both residential and commercial properties.
  4. Style: Aluminium balustrades and handrails can be finished in various styles and colours, making it easy to match your home’s or business’s aesthetic.

At Craftsman Stairs, we use only high-quality aluminium materials and finishes to ensure that our balustrades and handrails are both stylish and durable. Contact us today to learn more about our services and to get started on your staircase project.

Bringing The Old And New Staircase Design Into Your Home Or Business

Brisbane and The Sunshine Coast

Combining the old and new in staircase design can create a unique and stunning look for your home or business. Here are some ideas for blending traditional and modern elements:

  • Mixing Materials: Use traditional materials, such as wood or stone, in a modern way. For example, combining a traditional wooden tread with a sleek glass railing creates a beautiful contrast.
  • Integrating Lighting: Adding lighting to a traditional staircase can give it a modern twist, making it both functional and visually appealing.
  • Combining Shapes: Mixing traditional and modern shapes can create an eye-catching staircase design. For example, combining a traditional curved staircase with modern square balusters creates a unique look.
  • Using Different Finishes: Using different finishes, such as paint, stain, or metal, can create an interesting blend of old and new.
  • Adding Details: Adding modern details, such as glass panel inserts or decorative metal elements, to a traditional staircase can give it a fresh and updated look.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Australian standard for handrails?

The Australian standard for handrails is AS 1428.1-2009 Design for access and mobility – Part 1: General requirements for access – New building work. This standard sets out the requirements for the design of handrails in new building work, including their height, shape, and size and the materials that can be used.

The standard requires handrails to be installed along stairways, ramps, and other areas where people may need support when moving around a building. Handrails must be easy to grip, have a non-slip surface, and be sturdy enough to support a person’s weight if they need to lean on them for support.

It is important to comply with the Australian standard for handrails to ensure that your building is safe and accessible for everyone. At Craftsman Stairs, we are experienced in designing and installing handrails that meet the Australian standard’s requirements and provide the necessary support and safety for users.

What is the minimum gap between handrail and wall in Australia?

The minimum gap between the handrail and wall in Australia is determined by the Australian standard AS 1428.1-2009 Design for access and mobility – Part 1: General requirements for access – New building work.

According to this standard, the minimum gap between the handrail, the wall, or any other object it passes over or against must be at least 50mm. This requirement ensures that there is enough space for a person to grip the handrail comfortably and that it does not impede movement along the staircase or ramp.

What size should a handrail be in Australia?

The size of a handrail in Australia is determined by the Australian standard AS 1428.1-2009 Design for access and mobility – Part 1: General requirements for access – New building work.

According to this standard, the diameter of a handrail must be at least 32mm and not more than 50mm. This size is designed to be comfortable to grip and provides the necessary support for a person to lean on the handrail if needed.

In addition to diameter, the standard also sets requirements for the height of handrails. Handrails must be between 850mm and 1000mm above the surface of the stair tread or ramp. This height is designed to allow for easy grip and support for users of different ages and abilities.
