A complete in-house capability for high quality stainless steel balustrades, from design and fabrication through to finishing and installation.
Southern Stainless specialises in high quality stainless steel balustrade systems for commercial and architectural applications.
From major waterfront developments and public infrastructure to pedestrian pathways and commercial buildings, our experienced team manages the complete process — from design assistance and shop drawings through to fabrication, finishing and installation.
Based in Ormeau on the Gold Coast, we combine local manufacturing with more than 30 years of stainless steel fabrication experience.
Planning a commercial balustrade project?
Every project presents different architectural, structural and environmental requirements.
Rather than supplying an off-the-shelf system, Southern Stainless works with builders, engineers, architects and project teams to manufacture stainless steel balustrades specifically for each application.
Our capabilities include a wide range of custom balustrade solutions, from individual architectural elements through to kilometres of balustrade for major commercial and infrastructure projects.
We review the architectural drawings, specifications, site conditions and performance requirements. Our team can work alongside architects, engineers and contractors to assist with practical fabrication solutions, material selection and design development.
Detailed shop drawings are produced to coordinate fabrication and installation, with surrounding areas taken into account. Our experience on complex commercial projects allows potential fabrication and installation issues to be identified before manufacturing begins.
Balustrades are fabricated with precision by our experienced team at our Ormeau facility. With extensive in-house capabilities, we maintain greater control over quality, finish and project schedules.
Finishes are tailored to suit each project and environment. Our in-house mechanical polishing and electropolishing capabilities provide greater control over finish, appearance, durability and corrosion resistance.
Our team can manage delivery and installation, working closely with builders and other trades to ensure the finished balustrade meets the project's requirements.
Material selection and finish is critical to the long-term performance of an external balustrade.
For many of our commercial, marine and infrastructure projects, we use 316 marine grade stainless steel due to its excellent durability and corrosion resistance.
This makes it particularly suited to demanding environments including:
Combined with high quality fabrication, mechanical polishing and electropolishing where specified, 316 stainless steel provides a durable, low-maintenance solution with a clean architectural finish.
