The Brief
The client needed a balcony balustrade for a residential Cape Town property that could withstand the coastal environment without compromising on appearance. Standard mild steel was ruled out due to salt-air corrosion risk — the solution needed to be durable, low-maintenance, and visually clean, installed with minimal disruption to the occupied property.
Our Approach
Steelrite managed the full project from initial site measurement through to final installation, specifying hot-dip galvanised steel for long-term performance in Cape Town’s coastal conditions
Site Measurement & Specification
Conducted a detailed site measurement and assessed environmental conditions. Specified hot-dip galvanised steel as the most appropriate material for long-term corrosion resistance.
Custom Fabrication
Fabricated balustrade panels and posts in our Cape Town workshop to exact site dimensions — welded, finished, and galvanised prior to delivery for a clean, consistent on-site appearance.
On-Site Installation
Installed the balustrade with precision anchoring into the balcony slab. All fixings were sealed and the structure was completed safely, neatly, and with full structural compliance.
What We Delivered
The hot-dip galvanised finish provides long-term protection against salt-air corrosion — significantly reducing maintenance requirements for the coastal property.
Fabricated to exact site dimensions and installed with precise alignment, complementing the modern aesthetic of the residential property.
Installation was completed safely within a single day with zero disruption to the client or surrounding property.
The client was so pleased with the quality and professionalism of the Steelrite team that they referred us for additional residential steelwork in the area.
