Which infill for your balustrade
The infill — balusters, scrollwork, panels — weighs as much on the budget as the load-bearing structure itself, and sets most of the style.
A choice that weighs on the budget
| Straight balusters — €250 – €350 / lm The simplest, most affordable infill. |
| Panels (sheet metal, cables, glass) — €350 – €550 / lm A sober, contemporary register. |
| Wrought iron scrollwork — €450 – €650 / lm Ornate pattern, hot-worked — the most decorative. |
| Handrail only — €80 – €150 / lm Wall-mounted or added to an existing rail. |
Price per linear metre, fabrication only — fitting quoted separately.
The gap rule applies at any point in the pattern
An open pattern can exceed 11 cm without it being obvious
Very open scrollwork or a dense decorative pattern can exceed the regulatory threshold without it being visible before fitting. See our regulations page.
Every pattern is checked by the workshop before fabrication, not after delivery — and a mixed pattern (scrollwork on top, straight balusters below) remains possible.
About infills
Can two infill types be mixed on the same balustrade?
Yes, for example scrollwork on the upper section and straight balusters below — a combination to specify at the quote stage, which affects the final price.
Is glass a common wrought iron infill?
Yes, a glass panel paired with a wrought iron structure is a frequent contemporary choice — it falls under the "panels" category in our price grid.
