This line comes standard in a white textured finish that closely resembles light sandpaper and meets the 4″ sphere spacing code for safety compliance. We offer actual color chips for a nominal fee to help you match your design needs.

We also offer fiberglass composite balustrade systems, crafted similarly to our Polymer Stone line but reinforced with fiberglass strands for added strength. This version is a paint-grade product ideal for projects requiring a smooth, customizable finish.

Architectural Mall manufactures a wide range of sizes and styles—and can easily customize balusters, rails, and newels to fit your exact specifications.

FAQs

Q: What is a balustrade system?
A: A balustrade system is a set of repeating vertical posts (called balusters), top and bottom rails, and optional support posts. It’s designed for both safety and decoration on porches, staircases, balconies, and rooftops.

Q: What is the difference between a railing and a balustrade?
A: A railing typically refers to just the handrail. A balustrade includes the full system—balusters, rails, and sometimes posts—designed to be decorative and architectural.

Q: What are your balustrades made from?
A: We offer balustrades made from polyurethane and polymer stone—both are durable, lightweight, and long-lasting alternatives to traditional stone or concrete.

Q: Can your balustrades be curved?
A: Yes! We manufacture curved balustrade systems (up to 20 feet in length without a seam) for rotundas, radius stairs, and custom architectural projects.

Q: How do I install a balustrade system?
A: We offer detailed installation guides for each balustrade system, including downloadable PDFs and videos. Visit our Balustrade Installation page to view step-by-step instructions.
