Who we are

Built from steel, glass and an eye for the line.

When you commission a balustrade from us, you are not buying an off-the-shelf panel. You are getting a fixture measured to your exact staircase, balcony or pool deck, then cut, toughened and fitted by our own crew.

We work in frameless glass, stainless cable and powder-coated aluminium because these three materials look sharper and outlast anything else. You get a clean edge that does the one job it must: hold firm, vanish visually, and still look right in ten years.

The Range

Four finishes. One clean line.

From the disappearing act of frameless glass to the warm line of an aluminium handrail, every system we fit is priced by the metre and made to your opening.

How it works

From sketch to the final tighten.

01

Site measure

We come to you, measure the run, note the falls and photograph the substrate so the panels land true.

02

Fabricate

Glass is cut and toughened, cable coils drawn, aluminium extrusions powder-coated to your colour.

03

Fit

Our crew returns, sets the posts and channels, levels the line and locks every fixing.

04

Sign off

We clean down, check the line and leave you with an edge that holds firm and reads clean.

The Crew

Hands you can speak to.

The people who turn up, measure the run and tighten the last bolt.

Good to know

Before you ask.

Do you come to site to measure, or do I send dimensions?

We come to you. A site measure is the only way to land a panel true to the fall of your floor or stair string, so the first visit is on us across the Cape Town metro.

Is the glass really safe for a high balcony?

Every glass panel we fit is toughened — the same spec used for shopfronts and structural balustrades. It will shrug off a lean, a chair back, a stray football.

What does the per-metre price actually include?

The material, the fittings and the fixings for a straight run. Angles, steps and custom powder-coat colours are quoted on the measure, so you see the full figure before we begin.

Can you match the balustrade to my existing handrail or stair?

Yes. Aluminium posts and handrails are powder-coated to order, so we can chase the tone of your stair string, your window frames or your front gate.

How long does a typical fit take?

A straight balcony run is usually a day on site. A staircase with returns and landings runs to two. We will give you a firm timeline at the measure.
