FAQ about balcony railings
A balcony railing typically serves as a fall protection device and must therefore comply with strict building regulations and standards. These apply to both the dimensions of the railing and its professional installation. Ideally, a specialist company should handle the installation to ensure safety. Anyone installing the railing themselves should ensure that it is not being used as a fall protection device – or have it inspected by an expert afterward. Otherwise, safety and liability risks may arise.
Safety is paramount here. Therefore, there is a nationwide requirement for a railing height of at least 90 cm up to a height of 12 m from your balcony or terrace to the ground. If your balcony is even higher, the railing must be at least 110 cm high (except in Baden-Württemberg).
The standard dimensions of our railings are 192.5 cm x 90 cm (width x height) or 96 cm x 90 cm (width x height). If necessary, the railing can be shortened to your individual requirements.

Why wrought iron and not wood? – The right choice for your railing

Our coating options – which one is right for you?
To ensure that your iron balcony railing is not only stylish but also particularly durable, we offer three high-quality coating options:
- Untreated (raw iron / patina)
– develops a natural rust patina over time - Powder coating in anthracite
– elegant, weatherproof finish thanks to the duplex process - Hot-dip galvanizing
– matte silvery appearance with particularly high corrosion protection
While powder coating gives your wrought iron railing a modern, elegant look, hot-dip galvanizing is ideal for a minimalist, industrial style. Choose the variant that best suits your balcony or terrace!
Further information on all three options can be found in our knowledge section under the heading Coatings.
