What tools of trade are required to perform the balustrade installation?

Nothing special—just standard tools that any competent DIYer or tradesperson would already have on hand.

Here’s a quick list:

  • Battery-powered drill
  • Battery-powered concrete drill with a 12mm bit (if fixing to concrete)
  • Level
  • String line or chalk/flick line
  • Marking pencil
  • Drop saw with aluminium blade (only needed for corners or wall fixings)
  • Rubber mallet (preferably white—or wrap the head in clean plastic to protect surfaces)
  • Small handheld vacuum (to clean out drill holes in concrete.

We supply all the fixings, any specialty drill bits, and step-by-step instructions. Plus, our Installation Hotline is always available if you need support.
