Structural Integrity: The Importance of a Robust Post System in Balustrade Design

Unlike aftermarket fitting elements, post system proves essential under the bulwarks within the architectural design. Of the various attributes of a balustrade system the post system is the most important one that contributes to the design construction and the stability of the balustrade. In our Double Building best known for balustrade solutions, we highlight the significance of a sturdy post system in ensuring the quality and operational efficiency of these structures.

Support and fall prevention is the primary objective of the balustrade and hence the post system comes out as very essential. The vertical posts are the supporting members of the balustrade who bears the load from the handrail and infill to the slab or suspend construction. Properly executed post system from Double Building enables the balustrade to resist imposed forces such as wind loads, horizontal loads and people applying weight onba the balustrade.

Longevity and life service capabilities strengthen the efficiency of a post system as well. The durability of balustrades is well understood as they face rain, sun, heat and other natural climatic conditions. The posts should be constructed of materials that are built to withstand aging and elements. We agree to a point, but durability goes both ways, Double Building's commitment to quality materials and finishes protects the post system enabling longer service life of balustrade system and less maintenance or replacement of it.

Even if safety is the foremost concern to be addressed above all, beauty is also very important when it comes to building architecture. Architecture dictates that a post system is not only structurally sound but is also a design accessory that fits the entire edifice's structure. We design without any element of compromise in form and construction, such that integration of the post system with any kind of design of balustrades regardless of being plain or ornamental is achievable enhancing the beauty of the structure.

Yet another factor which bears on the significance of a post system is its installation ease. A system which is easy to erect is certainly very beneficial as it lessens time and minimizes installation costs. Furthermore, the possibility of adapting the post system to certain individual needs, provides a higher degree of non-standard design and use. Our Double Building post system proposals very often contain flexible applications that can meet different assembly requirements.
