Balustrades & handrails that balance safety and style

Balustrades aren’t just visual — they’re safety-critical. We supply and install balustrades and handrails designed to meet the relevant requirements for housing, including rules around barrier height transitions and opening sizes (for example, the NCC housing provisions reference barrier heights around 865 mm on stair flights transitioning to 1 m at landings, and limits on openings such as the 125 mm sphere rule). ([National Construction Code][1])

We also take practical safety seriously — tread condition, visibility, and slip resistance matter in the real world, not just on paper. ([WorkSafe QLD][2])

Where we outperform typical Brisbane stair builders

Lots of competitor sites focus on the same three claims: “quality,” “premium materials,” and “custom designs.” (True — but vague.) Here’s what we do differently:

1) Built for Brisbane conditions
Humidity, movement, and high traffic chew up shortcuts. We plan for timber movement, choose suitable finishes, and build to reduce squeaks, flex and long-term loosening.

2) Structural-minded workmanship (JohnStruct backing)
Being part of JohnStruct Pty Ltd means we approach stairs like a system — fixings, junctions, load paths, and alignment all matter. The result: a staircase that feels planted.

3) Cleaner detailing
Tight mitres, crisp nosings, consistent spacing, and tidy junctions — the stuff you notice every day.

4) Options that fit real homes
From classic internal timber stairs (still a core demand across Brisbane) to modern composite builds mixing timber/steel/glass, we’re comfortable across the spectrum you’ll see promoted by leading local stair specialists. ([stairpro.com.au][3])
