What is a "balustrade"?
A balustrade is a row of small posts or columns topped by a handrail, typically found along the edge of a staircase, balcony, or terrace. This architectural feature provides safety by preventing falls while adding visual interest to a space. Balustrades can be made from various materials, including wood, metal, stone, or glass, and can be designed in different styles to complement the overall decor. In addition to their protective function, balustrades serve as decorative elements, enhancing the aesthetic appeal of staircases and open spaces in both residential and commercial buildings.
