Safety resolved early
Geometry, openings, loading and fixing principles are considered from the first drawings.
Safety & clear views · Designed and made in Nice
Bespoke railings and balustrades
Developed by our in-house team, fabricated in our workshop and installed by people who know the project.
Bespoke balustrades, guardrails and handrails in steel, stainless steel, glass and wrought iron for terraces, stairs, balconies and pools.

The project
Designed for its setting, use and architecture.
A balustrade is first a safety element, but it also draws a strong line through the building. Height, spacing, handrails, glass and fixing positions are resolved without losing sight of the architecture or the view.
We work on new-build and refurbishment projects, from discreet stainless-steel and glass systems to wrought-iron balustrades shaped around existing masonry.
What we resolve
The decisions that define the finished work.
Views preserved
Post spacing, glass panels and handrail profiles are composed to limit visual interruption.
Curves and level changes
Survey information is translated into workshop geometry for terraces, stairs and irregular edges.
Material combinations
Steel, stainless steel, glass, timber and forged elements can be brought together in one coherent detail.

Applications
For private, professional and public projects.
Design and installation are adapted to the building, its users and the site conditions recorded during the survey.
Terraces and balconies
Internal and external stairs
Pool surrounds
Hotels, apartment buildings and public venues
Our involvement
From site survey to final handover.
Site information feeds into the fabrication drawings, then stays with the workshop and installation team.
Measure and coordinate
We survey the supporting construction and coordinate interfaces with waterproofing, stonework and finishes.
Technical drawings
Heights, infill, posts, handrails and anchoring details are set out for approval.
Workshop production
Straight, curved and bespoke components are fabricated and trial assembled where useful.
Installation
Our fitters align, secure and finish the balustrade on site.
Frequently asked questions
Useful points before an initial assessment.
Do you make glass balustrades?+
Yes. Glass can be combined with steel or stainless steel, with the build-up and fixing system selected for the location and required performance.
Can you follow a curved terrace?+
Yes. Accurate survey work and workshop setting-out allow the metalwork and glass to follow complex curves and changing levels.
Do you work from architects’ drawings?+
Yes. We develop fabrication and fixing details from the design intent and coordinate them with the architect and other trades.
