Raising the Bar for PVCu Decking Balustrade Safety, Design and Installation

Designed to make the creation of bespoke deck shapes easier and perfectly colour-matched to a market-leading balustrade range, Outdoor Sales Director Mike Hobson discusses Liniar’s commitment to ensuring its customers have access to premium, regulatory compliant solutions that make both specifying and installation easier.

Consistent quality, premium in-house foiling

Mike explains, “One of the most common frustrations we see with PVCu handrail brackets on the market is inconsistent or poor-quality finishes. Mismatched colours and uneven laminating or coatings can undermine the overall look of a decking installation, particularly on high-end holiday parks where not just performance, but aesthetics matter.”

“Our new bracket system features a premium foiled finish on all extruded components, which is applied in Liniar’s state-of-the-art, in-house Lamination Hall. This ensures consistent quality, and a perfect finish colour matched with our PVCu balustrade, fencing and entire product ranges - giving park operators and installers confidence that every element works seamlessly together from visual cohesion to fitting compatibility.”

Installer-friendly design saves time on site

Complex assembly and awkward adjustment are another pain point for installers. Brackets that require excessive measuring, reworking or specialist tools can quickly erode margins and slow projects down.

Mike continues, “Liniar’s adjustable Handrail Bracket system has been engineered with simplicity in mind. The range offers horizontal adjustment from 0–45°, vertical adjustment from 0–15°, alongside a fixed 30° stepped bracket - all within a seamless, easy-to-understand system. Features such as the angled gauge to assist assembly and reduced bracket size for cleaner sightlines help installers achieve accurate, professional results quickly,” 

The result is faster installation, easier on-site adjustment and greater flexibility for bespoke decking shapes and layouts.

Full regulatory compliance, for safety and peace of mind

Crucially for park operators, the system is fully BS6180 compliant. This means the system offers reassurance that safety has not been compromised for aesthetics.

“Visible fixings can detract from even the most carefully designed decking area. Our new brackets eliminate this issue entirely, with no visible fixings once installed, while still delivering a solid and stable fixing system fully tested to meet the requirements of Part K Building Regulations for barrier loading,” explains Mike.

“These brackets don’t just look better - they perform better,” he adds. “They integrate perfectly with our balustrade system and meet all relevant regulations, which is essential for commercial leisure environments.”

Intelligent design, backed by expert inhouse-support

The launch of its fully redesigned Decking Handrail Bracket system and brand-new adjustable additions reinforce Liniar’s long-term commitment to intelligently designed PVCu decking, fencing and balustrade solutions for better outdoor living spaces. “By listening to the needs of installers and operators, and investing in innovation and manufacturing capability, we’re supporting the sector with solutions that are practical, compliant and built to last” says Mike.

He concludes, “Besides market-leading products, our in-house team of industry experts are easily accessible and always ready to go the extra mile, offering Liniar customers advice, guidance and support at every stage of their decking construction projects.”
