Architectural Balustrades & Handrails fabricated by AB Welding
Workshop Engineering

Built For Australian Conditions

Balustrades sit right at eye and hand level—every weld seam and anchor plate is on permanent display. We TIG-weld and dress our vertical flat-bar, round rod, perforated mesh, and DDA tactile handrail systems until joints read like a single continuous steel ribbon, strictly engineered to National Construction Code height and load limits.

Flush-Dressed TIG Welds

Invisible ground seams on internal feature staircases where finish quality is everything.

1000mm Code Safety

Baluster gaps kept strictly under 125mm sphere pass rules with zero foothold climb hazards.

DDA & Commercial Ramps

Continuous 316 stainless steel handrails with compliant tactile kerb returns and end terminations.

Marine-Grade Exteriors

Zinc-primed steel or 6063 aluminium for elevated coastal and exposed Melbourne decks.

Technical Questions

Balustrades FAQs

What height must my balcony or deck balustrade be?
Under Australian Building Codes, any fall height over 1 metre requires a continuous barrier of at least 1,000mm height (865mm on stair flights measured from stair nosing).
Do you supply Form 15 / compliance sign-off details?
We fabricate strictly to AS 1170.1 / AS 1428.1 specifications and can coordinate structural engineering certification where required by your building surveyor.
