Ja, våra räcken i aluminium, rostfritt stål och glas är designade för att tåla det nordiska klimatet med vinter, snö och frost. Materialen påverkas inte av kyla och spricker inte vid minusgrader. Det man bör tänka på är att sköta om sitt rostfria räcke extra noga efter vintern för att tvätta bort salt och föroreningar som kan ha fastnat i snön och påskyndat ytrost.
Ett räcke i en bostadsmiljö ska normalt dimensioneras för att klara en horisontell last på minst 0,5 kN/m. I miljöer där många människor samlas eller där risken för stora folksamlingar finns, kan kraven höjas till 1,0 kN/m eller mer. Detta testas ofta genom statiska belastningstester.
Absolut. Även om det inte finns något lagkrav på räcke vid marknivå, väljer många att installera ett altanräcke för att rama in uteplatsen, skapa lä eller helt enkelt för att höja det estetiska värdet. Här har du dessutom större frihet i designvalen eftersom klättringsskydd inte är ett krav på samma sätt som vid hög höjd.
Innan beställning är noggrann mätning det allra viktigaste; mät hellre en gång för mycket än en gång för lite. Fundera också på räckets syfte: behövs det som vindskydd, insynsskydd eller främst som ett snyggt fallskydd?
Kontrollera även om det krävs bygglov i din kommun och säkerställ att du väljer en modell som uppfyller Boverkets krav på räckeshöjd och barnsäkerhet för din specifika miljö.
The property owner bears the ultimate responsibility for ensuring that the building and its components, including railings, comply with applicable building regulations and safety requirements. This applies both to new constructions and to renovations or replacements of existing railings.
Differences in height can sometimes be accommodated, but this requires customization and may entail additional costs.
In most cases, no building permit is required for a standard railing on a patio or balcony of a single-family home. However, if the railing is very high and thus classified as a solid fence or windbreak, or if it significantly alters the appearance of the house, a permit may be required.
It is always safest to check with the building committee in your municipality if you are unsure.
Yes. All railings are manufactured according to the exact measurements you enter in the design tool.
Choosing a new railing system is an investment that combines functional safety with an aesthetic enhancement for the entire property. At Balustrade Store , we’ve replaced the industry’s traditional standard sizes with a fully custom-fit process. Because we own the entire supply chain—from the digital design in our 3D configurator to physical manufacturing in Ängelholm—we can deliver a level of precision that simplifies installation and guarantees a perfect fit.
Our solutions are engineered to withstand everything from everyday wear and tear to the changing Nordic climate.
To find the right product for your needs, it’s a good idea to start by considering the railing’s location and the desired end result. We’ve developed a product line that covers everything from minimalist rooftop terraces to classic villa gardens.
When installing at high elevations or near water, the choice of materials and strength are critical factors in determining the system’s service life. To help you make your choice, we use application classes that indicate whether a system is designed for a private residential setting or whether it requires the more robust components typically used in public settings.
For coastal installations or pool environments, we use acid-resistant stainless steel (AISI 316) in our components, which provides effective protection against corrosion and salt spray. All of our glass solutions also use laminated safety glass. This means that if the glass were to break—which is highly unlikely—the shards remain held in place by the inner plastic film, preventing both falls and cuts.
We’ve eliminated the uncertainty of ordering railing systems online. In our configurator, you’ll see the price update in real time as you design your project with details such as the Lira handrail or the Lumo French balcony.
When your order leaves our factory in Ängelholm, it’s not just a shipment of parts—it’s a complete, well-thought-out kit. Everything from the custom-cut profiles to the smallest screw is included, along with personalized assembly instructions and informative video guides. This allows you, as a DIYer, to achieve professional results on your own.
With Balustrade Store , you get a sustainable investment that combines Swedish quality with modern e-commerce.
