Aluminium Post Balustrade System with Baluster

Designed and manufactured in New Zealand, the Skyrail A Series is an aluminium post balustrade and fencing system engineered for both residential and commercial applications.

The A Series features a versatile post-and-rail design with baluster configurations, available in full-height or split-rail layouts. This system offers excellent flexibility, supporting both face-fixed and top-mounted installations, making it compatible with a wide range of structural designs, including timber, concrete, and steel substrates.

A variety of fin sizes and rail profiles are available, including the cost-effective B18-18 (18mm square section) option, enabling tailored solutions to suit diverse architectural styles. The system is fully customizable, with options for panel dimensions, colours, finishes (powder-coated or anodised), and configurations to meet specific aesthetic and functional requirements.

The Skyrail A Series is ideal for applications such as decks, balconies, ramps, stairs, and pool fencing, as well as gate systems. It is engineered for performance in all wind zones (including very high and extra high) and is suitable for coastal, geothermal, and industrial environments without compromising strength, safety, or structural integrity.

All Altech balustrades, including the Skyrail A Series, are supplied with a project-specific PS1 and comply with the New Zealand Building Code.
