Light Outer Railing (BWZ2)

BWZ2 is simple and light, with twisted bars and a few copper-toned accents along a terrace.

It works on terraces, balconies, mezzanines and stairs, in any colour and size.

Light without being plain

BWZ2 balances function and visual lightness. A slender frame carries a steady rhythm of vertical bars, some of them twisted, and a few forged accents in a copper tone, such as rings, leaves and small scrolls, break the regularity at intervals. In the photo it runs along a terrace with a stone base, where it looks like a natural extension of the line of the building.

Proportion between bars and space

On a light railing, the space between the bars matters as much as the steel. We set the spacing so that the railing looks airy but still meets safety requirements, and we keep the bars rigidly fixed so the pattern stays straight along the whole terrace. The handrail runs without breaks, giving the elevation a calm, ordered line.

Terraces, balconies and stairs

The same design works on terraces, balconies, mezzanines and stairs, indoors or out, in any colour and size. Outdoors it is hot-dip galvanized before painting, which matters especially for the twisted bars, whose grooves would otherwise hold water. Copper, bronze or gold accents can be added by hand after painting. Further light patterns are shown with our terrace and balcony railings.

Following the slab and the facade

In balconies of light construction, the key is the balance between the load-bearing part and the space of the infill. The rhythm of the vertical divisions should follow the width of the slab and the axes of the facade, so the whole forms one coherent sequence of lines. Despite its apparent simplicity, the geometry must be consistent and every joint rigid, so the railing brings order to the space instead of dominating it.
