Alsysco Balustrades: Built for Safety, Style, and Our Tough Climate

The right aluminium balustrade system combines durability, low maintenance, and strict safety regulations with modern aesthetics that stand up to South Africa’s intense sun, heavy rains, and high winds. Whether you’re upgrading a first-floor balcony in Pretoria, creating a secure pool area in Johannesburg, modernising a staircase in Durban or elevating your coastal deck in Cape Town, your best home awaits.

Alsysco Aluminium engineers have designed all its products locally for African conditions. Our three flagship balustrade systems: CrystALview®, MistrAL®, and PT50 – are fully SANS compliant, backed by structural engineers’ system design approvals, and installed only by trained Accredited Fabricators.

Alsysco Aluminium Balustrades

Here’s everything you need to know about Alsysco’s balustrade systems, with real-world use cases tailored for South African homes.

Colours and finishes:

All three of our balustrade systems come in a range of popular standard architectural powder-coated colours (Black, Charcoal, Bronze, Silver, White), as well as a vast range of custom colours and specifications based on site environment and specified aesthetic.

How South African homeowners may use our balustrades:

Balconies and Patios: Ideal for high-rise apartments or double-storey suburban homes. Our balustrades allow you to fully enjoy uninterrupted views of your garden or city skyline while keeping children and pets safely contained. Install it along the full length of a braai patio for seamless indoor-outdoor flow.

Decks: Perfect for elevated wooden or composite decks. If you need to secure a smaller deck area, consider CrystALview® Balustrade in the side-mount option to keep a deck surface clean and create a floating, contemporary look. This option is also perfect for Juliet balconies.

Pools: Use it as a stylish pool surround that meets safety standards; essential for families with children and small pets.

Staircases: For both indoor and outdoor applications, whether you are securing entrance steps or a statement hallway stairway, our balustrades create modern, stunning visual spaces while complying with the mandatory safety regulations.
