Burbridge Balustrade on show at 100% detail

New to 100% Detail are balustrade experts Richard Burbidge, who will be showcasing their market-leading collection of indoor and outdoor balustrade for staircases, decks, patios and balconies.

Visitors to Stand W22 will be able to view the innovative FUSION Commercial range; a visually striking balustrade system based on a union of contemporary materials, specifically developed for light commercial building projects.

For interior applications, FUSION Commercial stair balustrade combines minimalist timber rails and newels with sleekly designed brushed nickel balusters and connectors.

Tested to withstand loadings of 0.74kN/m, the system is suitable for shared access staircases in apartment buildings, offices and hotels.

For exterior projects, FUSION Commercial outdoor balustrade uses a stylish structure of timber rails and metal newels, with a choice of infill options offering creative flexibility.

Designers can choose from timber balusters, slatted timber panels or contemporary glass panels, ideal for accentuating views and creating a sense of space in smaller areas.

The outdoor system has been tested to withstand loadings of 1.5kN/m, making it ideal for outside public dining areas, raised decks and apartment balconies.

Both FUSION systems have been intelligently designed for ease of fit, offering valuable on-site time savings. Timber components are pre-finished and all balusters and panels are supplied pre-cut. Ingenious brackets and connectors also help to reduce installation time, by eliminating the need for complex joinery cuts.

A number of other balustrade systems will also be on display, including the new Heritage Collection of bespoke white oak balustrade, designed to help developers add value to prestigious residential projects.

Says David Richards, Specification Market Manager for Richard Burbidge: “Richard Burbidge has been supplying innovative balustrade systems to the DIY and merchant market for over 40 years and more recently, we have been working directly with designers, architects and housebuilders.

100% Detail presents an ideal forum for showcasing our latest innovations to the very best of the design industry.”
