Architectural Aluminium Balustrades
A powder-coated aluminium balustrade gives you a durable, low-maintenance finish with clean, modern lines — no glass to polish, no fingerprints to wipe down. We install three fixing styles across Waikato, Auckland and Bay of Plenty, so the system matches how your deck or staircase is actually built.
Three ways to fix it
Which fixing style suits your project depends on how your deck or staircase is framed, and how much of a post-free look you want.
Top-fixed
Posts are fixed to the top of the deck or floor surface. The most common and cost-effective option, straightforward to install on most decks.
Face-fixed
Posts are fixed to the side of the framing rather than the top surface. Useful when you don't want to lose deck space, or can't drill into the surface itself.
Postless
No visible posts at all — slim vertical aluminium fins carry the load instead, for the cleanest possible sightline. The look behind our "Seamless Fin" installations.
Postless fin systems
For a completely post-free line, we install postless fin balustrade systems, including Spectrum's Seamless and UNEX ranges — both engineered and tested for New Zealand conditions.
- Zero bulky posts — a clean, unbroken sightline
- Powder-coated aluminium finish — wipe-clean, no glass to polish
- Engineered to NZ Building Code F4/B1
Excellent service and communication with Vertical Surfaces throughout the process. The seamless fin is exactly what I wanted — a seamless, contemporary look with no fingerprints to keep wiping down.
How we work
Measure
Digital 3D measurement captured on-site for millimetre accuracy.
Design
Your fin or post layout is finalised in CAD before fabrication begins.
Fabricate & install
Custom fins or posts are cut and powder-coated to your chosen colour, then delivered and fixed on-site — no messy posts, just clean lines.
