A railing and a balustrade are terms often used interchangeably, but there are differences between the two. A railing typically refers to a single horizontal bar or structure that provides support and prevents falls, commonly used on stairs, balconies, and decks. On the other hand, a balustrade is a more comprehensive system consisting of multiple vertical supports (known as balusters) connected by a top rail or handrail. Balustrades are commonly used to enclose staircases, terraces, and verandas.

Both railings and balustrades provide safety and support, but a balustrade offers a more visually appealing and intricate option for enhancing the aesthetics of a building or outdoor space. Here at Gatehouse Architectural, we provide a wide range of both railings and balustrades that meet most project requirements.
