Planning a commercial balustrade project?

Commercial Balustrade Specialists

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.

  • Pedestrian balustrades
  • Bicycle balustrades
  • Architectural balustrades
  • Stainless steel and glass balustrades
  • Stainless steel wire balustrades
  • Mesh infill balustrades
  • Flat bar and custom profile systems
  • Handrails and integrated grab rails
  • Waterfront and marine-grade balustrades
  • Custom commercial balustrade systems

Our Balustrade Process

From initial design review through to fabrication, finishing and installation, our experienced team manages every stage of the balustrade process with a focus on quality, precision and project requirements.

1. Design & Project Review

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.

2. Detailed Shop Drawings

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.

3. Stainless Steel Fabrication

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.

4. Finishing & Electropolishing

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.

5. Installation

Our team can manage delivery and installation, working closely with builders and other trades to ensure the finished balustrade meets the project's requirements.

Why 316 Stainless Steel?

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:

  • Waterfront developments
  • Riverwalks
  • Coastal locations
  • Public infrastructure
  • High-traffic pedestrian areas
  • Commercial developments
  • Marine environments

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.

Australian Made. Architecturally Refined.

Built Locally. Made for Demanding Environments.

Southern Stainless is an Australian-owned stainless steel fabrication company based in Ormeau, Queensland, servicing Brisbane, the Gold Coast and projects throughout Australia.

With fabrication, polishing, water cutting and electropolishing capabilities available in-house, we maintain control over the manufacturing process and finished quality.

For commercial stainless steel balustrades, that means one experienced team capable of taking your project from concept and drawings through to finished installation.
