8 A Quick Guide To Australian Wire Balustrade Building Regulations Every day we get a phone call or have someone come into our office to tell us that they want to install wire balustrade, but are not sure which wire size, type of fittings and tools they need. The 1st question we always ask someone is what is the maximum drop from the surface you are standing on to the ground below. If the answer is less than 1 metre, then the number of wires and tension required is not covered by any Australian Standard, and as a result you can do whatever you want. If the answer is greater than 4 metres, then you are not allowed to do horizontal wire balustrade; but are allowed to do vertical wire balustrade (this also applies to pool fencing). If this is the case, then we suggest that you contact us to get more info on what system would work best in this application. If the drop is between 1 & 4 metres, then you need to comply with the Australian National Construction Code. Trying to get your head around how this code will impact on the number of wires required and the tension that they need to be under is quite a challenge, so as a guide we suggest you work to the following rules. Your handrail height needs to be a minimum of 1000mm (1.0 metre). Working on a gap of 960mm (underside of the handrail to the ground), the maximum gap between each wire is 80mm, which means you will need 11 strands of wire. Using 3.2mm wire in either a 1x19, 7x7 or 7x19 configuration, you will need to have a support post every 1500mm. The wire can run through these posts if it is in a straight line, and only needs to be fixed to the end posts. If the wire needs to change direction, then we suggest that you terminate the wire at this post, and restart it in the new direction. If you comply with these rules (and the ones specific to the systems in this catalogue), then you should have no issues in getting your new wire balustrade approved. We also get regularly asked as to what is the difference between 1x19, 7x7 and 7x19 wire. All are 3.2mm in diameter; the 1x19 is a smoother, nicer looking wire and is more rigid (less flexible) than the 7x7 and 7x19. It also has a higher breaking strain. The 7x7 and 7x19 are more flexible but not as nice a look or feel as the 1x19. The 7x19 is even more flexible than the 7x7, but for the purpose of wrapping around a thimble, there is no noticeable difference. In simple terms, if you are using fittings that need to be crimped with a hydraulic swager, then always go with the 1x19 cable, as it looks the best. If you are still not sure about what needs to be done, then please contact us, we are happy to help you out.
