Our aluminium balustrade rail kit contains everything you need for the rail sections of your balustrade — the horizontal part of the system that spans between your posts. Each kit includes the top and bottom rails (with vinyl inserts), pickets, spacers, top and bottom brackets, a rail support foot, and stainless steel screws and fixings.
The rails come in a standard 1829mm length — the only length supplied — and are designed to span up to the maximum 1829mm post spacing. Rails can be cut down easily on site to fit shorter gaps between posts, so you get an even, tidy finish whatever your layout. You'll need one rail kit per bay (the gap between two posts).
Everything is finished in black powder-coated aluminium — rust-free, low-maintenance and built to handle UK weather year-round without the upkeep of timber or steel.
Posts are sold separately, so you can order exactly the number your layout needs alongside your rail kits.

Rinse down twice a year with warm soapy water
Check and re-tighten screws or fixings annually
In coastal areas, rinse monthly to remove salt build-up
Avoid using pressure washers or harsh chemicals
Yes. The system is made from aluminium with a durable powder-coated finish, making it:
Rust-resistant
UV-stable
Low maintenance
It’s designed for year-round outdoor exposure in UK conditions.
Yes. You’ll need to purchase a Stair Bracket Kit, which is sold separately.
This allows the rails to be installed at an angle to follow your stair pitch.
No — posts are sold separately.
The Rail Kit includes:
Top and bottom rails (with vinyl inserts)
Pickets
Spacers
Brackets (top and bottom)
Rail support foot
Stainless steel screws and fixings
Yes. Use a hacksaw or metal-cutting saw.
Cut both ends evenly to ensure symmetrical picket spacing. Always measure carefully and wear protective gear when cutting.
The maximum spacing between posts is 1829mm (72"). This is the longest internal span your aluminium rail is designed to support.
However, you can cut the rails down to fit shorter gaps if needed. Always cut equal amounts from both ends to maintain balanced picket spacing.
Tip: Cut rails approximately 3.5mm shorter than the post-to-post gap to allow for bracket clearance.
The rail kit includes the top and bottom rails (with vinyl inserts), pickets, spacers, top and bottom brackets, a rail support foot, and stainless steel screws and fixings. Posts are sold separately, so you can buy the exact number your layout needs.

Compliance
Safety & compliance
Our aluminium balustrade is designed and tested in line with BS 6180:2011,
the British Standard for barriers in and around buildings — so you can install it with confidence
around domestic decking, patios, balconies and stairs.
Tested to BS 6180:2011 — load-tested and certified for domestic (single-family) use, resisting a horizontal load of 0.36 kN/m (test report AR210)
1100 mm guarding height — meets the standard for domestic guarding
100 mm sphere rule — pickets at 96.5 mm spacing, so a 100 mm sphere cannot pass through
Corrosion-resistant — aluminium alloy 6005 with a batch-tested powder-coat finish (RAL 9017 matt black)
10-year warranty against material and finish defects
Maximum post span 1829 mm — full guidance in the data sheet
Is this balustrade compliant with UK building regulations?
It's designed and tested in line with BS 6180:2011, the British Standard referenced for barriers under Approved Document K. It's load-tested and certified for domestic single-family use (0.36 kN/m). For communal, commercial or public areas, higher load classes apply — speak to us or your building designer first.
How high is the balustrade, and is the gap child-safe?
The finished guarding height is 1100 mm, and pickets are spaced at 96.5 mm so a 100 mm sphere cannot pass through — meeting the gap requirement for domestic guarding.
Do you have test evidence I can show building control?
Yes — download our Compliance & Load Data Sheet above, which sets out the BS 6180 loads, our test results and the installation conditions.
Certified for domestic single-family use. For other applications, please contact us before ordering.
