It\u2019s no exaggeration to say that a balustrade can make or break a staircase. Achieving a premium finish is not only about the quality of the styling and materials, but also the precision of the design and manufacture. There are few better examples of this than a project we recently completed in London where we produced over 60 metres of cast iron balustrades<\/a> with millimetre accuracy.<\/p>\n

The commission was part of the extensive refurbishment of a seven-storey town house in Knightsbridge \u2014 an area long associated with design excellence. We were tasked with creating a cast iron baluster that could be easily modified to meet the building regulations. This required some careful initial research as all the spindles in the client\u2019s \u2018look book\u2019 were non-compliant (due to gaps greater than 100 mm). In addition, the narrow dimensions of the property meant the goings of the treads could not be extended to accommodate wider, more extravagant baluster styles. We presented a number of options to the client, eventually settling on simple, stylish spindles that could be installed two per tread.<\/p>\n\n\t\t
