Balustrades – Safe, Functional and Aesthetic

A balustrade is a railing system that is commonly used on mezzanine floors and platforms to provide safety and support for individuals walking or working on the elevated surface. Balustrades are typically made of metal or glass, and can be designed in a variety of styles to complement the aesthetic of the space.

Mezzanine floors and platforms are often used in commercial and industrial settings to increase the amount of usable space within a building. These elevated surfaces can be used for a variety of purposes, including storage, office space, and production areas.

The use of balustrades on mezzanine floors and platforms is essential for safety. They provide a barrier that prevents individuals from falling off the elevated surface, which can be especially important in settings where heavy equipment or machinery is in use. Balustrades also provide support for individuals walking on the mezzanine floor or platform, which can be especially important in settings where the surface is slick or uneven.

When choosing a balustrade for a mezzanine floor or platform, it is important to consider the specific needs of the space. Factors to consider include the height of the elevated surface, the amount of foot traffic the surface will receive, and the type of activity that will take place on the surface.

Additionally, it is important to ensure that the balustrade meets all relevant safety codes and regulations. This will ensure that the balustrade is safe for use and that it will provide the necessary level of protection for individuals working or walking on the mezzanine floor or platform.

In summary, balustrades are an essential safety feature for mezzanine floors and platforms. They provide a barrier that prevents individuals from falling off the elevated surface and support for individuals walking on the mezzanine floor or platform. When choosing a balustrade it is important to consider the specific needs of the space and ensure that the balustrade meets all relevant safety codes and regulations.
