The timbers we use in Sentrel’s products are primarily Spotted Gum and Ironbark, both naturally tough and resilient timbers that are used to make tool handles, boats, spring boards and furniture. They boast a class 1 rating of 40+ years out of ground durability, are termite resistant, are in the highest class of fire retardant timbers … and they look great also!

We have further protected and beautified the timber with a high quality timber oil preservative — , which offers excellent protection in our harsh Australian conditions.

However, all exterior products exposed to the elements will require some maintenance over time to stay in the best condition. Glass products require cleaning, timber requires refinishing, and even ‘stainless’ steel will deteriorate and stain over time if it is not properly maintained.

We recommend an annual maintenance inspection of your balustrade, and re-oiling to keep timber looking new.

The tension on the vertical cables is established and set in the factory and will stay taut for many years. If and when required, the cables can be easily re-tensioned in a few minutes.

Sentrel offers an annual service where we will keep your balustrade in top condition for a very reasonable fee if you should desire it. Just contact us on 1300 658330 to make this arrangement.

Our products are guaranteed against structural failure within the tested and approved limits of the Australian standards for balustrades and pool fencing.
