Polyurethane Balustrades

Our RoyalThane™ polyurethane balustrade systems are a high density product that looks like wood but will not rot, crack, or split. These balustrades come primed ready for final paint finish on the jobsite. They are structural and have been independently tested to exceed both residential and commercial building codes. These balustrades offer the greatest advantage over our other balustrade systems when a very lightweight, structural, paint-grade balustrade is desired but is limited up to 12' spans before requiring a newel post, column, or support.

RoyalThane™ balustrades are a molded product. We use a two part foam that begins to expand when mixed together. The word "foam" often scares people but this foam achieves the density of white pine or roughly 12 lbs. per cubic inch. In other words, polyurethane is rigid foam that will feel like wood but not come with the negative attributes. In order to virtually eliminate any air pockets, we use a state of the art metering machine and avoid mixing by hand. Prior to pouring in the two part foam, we spray our molds with high-end exterior primer which insures that the primer adheres to the product better than possible when spraying once the product is demolded. All of our RoyalThane structural balustrade components are reinforced internally with PVC or galvanized steel pipe in order to insure we surpass building codes for both residential and commercial applications. The end product is a fully primed, ready for final paint finish and assembly, high density polyurethane balustrade system, weighing from 5 to 40 lbs. per lineal foot.
