I note you are in Melbourne. Is this something you could supply?

Voila!

I know, I just can’t find any information as to what the specifications of a balustrade are (apart from height requirement.)
If you knew how wonky the current balustrade is,…

All very good points. Yes, those photos are from a UK company.
The sliding door in question is part of a three section window, so replacing the entire window would…

Hi,
we've got a sliding door on the first floor bedroom with a balustrade that needs to be removed/replaced.

We have a balustrade on the first floor in front of a large sliding door

This was however built with two flaws: firstly there is no external window sill, just a…

The aircon turns off and when I…
