The Project

neaco’s Spectrum Perforated Panel Balustrade has been manufactured, supplied and installed to Outwood Academy, an 11-16 academy, based in the coastal town of Redcar in the northeast of England. Outwood Academy existed in 2017 and became part of the Outwood Family of Schools. The Academy required replacement balustrades on two stairwells, and another school recommended them neaco.

The Specification

neaco worked closely with Carnam Construction to make the specification suitable for the school with heavy traffic going up and down the stairs. Both stairwells included around 5 metres of taller balustrade of 1500mm high. This is regularly requested in school applications to deter children from climbing the stairs.

The Spectrum Balustrade was Polyester Powder Coated with Centric Stanchions Grouted into the concrete. The balustrade included two handrails, a toprail and a lower rail offset from the stanchions. The infill was 3mm thick powder-coated perforated mesh panelling which is low maintenance and still aesthetically pleasing.

Aluminium Balustrade

The Spectrum Range

Our original and most popular balustrade system is precision-engineered from aluminium and powder coated in a variety of solid and metallic colours to meet a wide range of balustrade design needs. neaco’s Aluminium Balustrade takes advantage of mechanical fixings to produce an architectural solution utilising modularity.
