FAQ’s

How many different Balustrade products do Neaco manufacture?
We have around 150 different Balustrade combinations but we are always open to meet your requirements if they follow building standards.
Can I request a specification for a project?
Of course, please contact us, or alternatively look in the Architect Lounge where we have standardized variant BIM Models for Architects only.
Why do Neaco manufacture in aluminium?
Aluminium is a great building material for many reasons: it provides maintenance-free durability and is also non-toxic, corrosive-free, non-combustible and 100% recyclable - a particularly useful feature for our Genesis industrial system designed for eco-friendly performance in the harshest environments. The permanent finish of Neaco’s nylon powder coating - a standard specification on most Spectrum systems - provides smooth, clean lines for comfortable touch and high aesthetic value. It is also worth noting that our stainless-steel systems provide many similar benefits.
Why do Neaco state our handrails are “warm-to-touch”?
'Warm-to-touch’ is a well-known phrase when it comes to handrails as it is an important building regulation when a handrail is utilised in high-traffic environments. Document K of the building regulations outlines that handrails should not “become excessively cold or hot to touch” (Ref 1.36 e, pg. 15). This is reinforced by section 5.10.5 of BS 8300. The concept is that handrails provide support on stairs or ramps, however, if the environment is subject to extreme temperatures and the handrail conducts this temperature, then this may cause reluctance to use the handrail and therefore cause a safety risk.
What is a Duplex System?
It is a combination of Aluminium and Stainless Steel in a balustrade system. This means the toprails could be Stainless Steel while the stanchions could be Aluminium. Please see the Duplex section if this is what you are requiring.
What glass types are available?
A clear 10mm thick toughened safety glass panel is typically used. Other glass we can provide is 12-21.5mm thick toughened or toughened laminated glass. We can also offer options of colour tinting and etching to meet your design aesthetics. As an optional extra, we can heat soak each glass panel which accelerates crystallisation, reducing the risk of potential breakages when the glass is in situ.
Does Neaco Install as well as Supply?
Yes, we provide a full installation service in addition to technical support and consultation throughout the specification process. Our team of experts is always on hand to assist at every stage.
Do Neaco offer bespoke solutions?
Yes, absolutely. Over the years we have worked with numerous architects and designers to incorporate bespoke features outside of our standard specifications, including light fittings to the top of stanchions, etched designs to glass infills and structural glass installed at unusual angles. We pride ourselves on the flexibility and adaptability of our technical support services, so please feel free to discuss your particular requirements with one of our team.
