The cost of an aluminium wrought iron railing mainly depends on its length, height and design. As every project differs, a single price per metre would be misleading. Use our online configurator to see the price for your measurements. Longer balustrades need more sections, while corners and short sections require more posts and fixings.
Straight sections are generally less expensive than designs with many corners or changes in level. Aluminium offers the classic appearance of wrought iron without the need for regular repainting, which may reduce maintenance costs over time. Use your actual measurements for an accurate price estimate.
A aluminium wrought iron railing has the classic appearance of traditional wrought iron, but is lighter and typically needs less maintenance than iron or steel balustrades. The main differences are weight, corrosion resistance and upkeep: the styles can be similar, but the materials are different.
Powder-coated aluminium mainly needs cleaning as required, while iron and steel need suitable corrosion protection and may require repainting as the finish wears. Aluminium is lighter and easier to handle during installation. Traditional wrought iron can offer more scope for decorative details and craftsmanship. Your choice depends on the design, weight and maintenance involved.
Aluminium is a durable, low-maintenance material for outdoor balustrades. It resists corrosion well and performs in different weather conditions when the system and finish are appropriate for the location. A powder-coated balustrade does not normally need sanding or repainting.
For routine care, it is usually enough to clean the posts and profiles with water, a soft cloth and, if needed, a mild detergent. Near the sea, rinse away salt and dirt as required. Powder coating provides protection and colour, although weather and UV exposure can affect it over time. Aluminium being lightweight does not automatically make the balustrade less stable.
Use our 3D configurator to design a solution to your measurements and see how your choices affect its appearance and price. Depending on the product, you can select dimensions, materials, colours, glass, fixings and optional extras. The design is displayed in 3D and the price updates as you make changes.
When you create a quote, your configuration is saved so you can review dimensions and choices before ordering. The configurator is available for several product ranges, including balustrades, fencing, privacy screens and awnings. If you need help with measuring, materials or design, our customer service team can talk through your project before you order.
A wrought iron railing is a simple way to give your home timeless character. Retro features the vertical bars associated with traditional wrought iron, but the entire structure is made from powder-coated aluminium. You get the appearance of wrought iron without its usual scraping, priming and repainting.
Each section is made to your measurements, with posts and bars arranged symmetrically along the full length.
Around a deck, Retro provides a distinctive edge and can be installed on timber decking, masonry or concrete, provided the fixings are suitable for the load-bearing structure. On balconies, this aluminium wrought iron railing suits both period properties and contemporary homes. On stairs, its vertical bars follow the slope and can be combined with a handrail for support. Indoors – around lofts, in stairwells or alongside open-plan upper floors – the lightweight aluminium construction makes the balustrade easier to handle than traditional ironwork.

The vertical-bar design suits a range of architectural styles. For functionalist and 1950s homes, a clean profile and consistent colour scheme work well, often in black (RAL 9005) or white (RAL 9010). For turn-of-the-century houses, Retro echoes traditional ironwork. We offer powder-coated finishes in a range of RAL colours. For more colour options, explore our Color system.
The price depends on height, length, fixing method, number of corners and colour. A aluminium wrought iron railing can have lower maintenance costs over time than traditional ironwork because regular repainting is usually unnecessary. In our 3D configurator, the price updates as you design.
Retro is also available as fencing and a gate, with matching profiles and colours, so the balustrade, fence and gate create a cohesive look. Explore the full range under fences and gates.
The aluminium wrought iron railing is supplied as a complete kit with made-to-measure profiles, fixings and installation instructions for your order. All fixings must be suitable for the substrate and load-bearing structure.
