Light construction balustrade
In contrast to traditional concrete, our patented light construction balustrades are made of a highly stable zinc-plated steel frame coated in Styralith® (a high-strength polystyrol-plastic with a mass density > 80kg/m3).
Our light construction balustrades cannot be distinguished from a stone balustrade optically.
