The combination of stainless steel and wood for French balconies is the ideal solution for builders who want to blend modern architecture with natural accents. While the stainless steel provides a cool, technical precision and maximum stability, the wood lends the facade a warm, organic touch. This fusion of materials softens the often austere lines of modern new buildings and creates an inviting, high-quality appearance at floor-to-ceiling windows.
A French balcony is constantly exposed to the elements. Therefore, Kirchberger Metall relies on a selection of materials that combines aesthetic appeal with technical durability:
The combination of these two materials allows for versatile design options that complement both classically renovated older buildings and minimalist new constructions. The stainless steel frame provides the necessary delicate appearance, while the wooden slats – depending on their arrangement – can serve as additional privacy screening. Whether horizontal wooden struts or vertical accents: the contrast between the metallic sheen and the individual grain of the wood makes each balcony a unique architectural feature.
Despite their natural appearance, the protective function is paramount. The stainless steel and wood combinations meet all the requirements of a modern fall protection system.
Maintaining this combination of materials is incredibly easy. While the stainless steel only needs occasional cleaning with a damp cloth, the wood can be treated according to preference. Without additional varnishes, the wood (especially larch) develops a beautiful, silvery-gray patina over time, which harmonizes perfectly with the stainless steel. Those who wish to preserve the original wood tone can simply treat the elements with a suitable hardwood oil.
Each French balcony, made of wood and stainless steel, is custom-made to order. This guarantees a perfect fit for your window openings, down to the millimeter. Delivery is ready for installation, with the wooden components already precisely fitted into the stainless steel frame. Installation can be either surface-mounted on the facade or discreetly integrated within the window reveal.
Aus optischen Gründen werden Verschraubungen meist versteckt. Oft besitzt das Edelstahlgeländer ein flaches Trägerprofil, durch welches Edelstahlschrauben von unten unsichtbar in den Holzhandlauf geschraubt werden.
• Rauen Sie die Oberfläche im Frühjahr mit sehr feinem Schleifpapier leicht an.• Wischen Sie den Schleifstaub ab.• Massieren Sie spezielles Holzöl mit einem Baumwolltuch ein und polieren Sie überschüssiges Öl ab.
Möchten Sie den frischen, warmen Holzfarbton erhalten, ist regelmäßige Pflege nötig. Der Handlauf sollte vor und nach der Wintersaison jeweils mit einem hochwertigen Pflegeöl für Außenholz eingelassen werden.
Da der Handlauf allen Wettern ausgesetzt ist, sind robuste Holzarten Pflicht. Eiche, Lärche, Douglasie oder thermisch behandeltes Holz (Thermo-Esche, Thermo-Kiefer) bieten den besten Widerstand gegen Fäulnis und Feuchtigkeit.
Jedes unbehandelte Holz im Außenbereich erhält durch UV-Strahlung und Regen rasch eine silbergraue Patina. Dies ist ein natürlicher Prozess, der die strukturelle Haltbarkeit von gutem Hartholz jedoch nicht beeinträchtigt.
Heimische Nadelhölzer neigen bei Hitze und Trockenheit tatsächlich zur Rissbildung und Splitterung. Qualitativ hochwertige Harthölzer verhalten sich sehr stabil, werfen kaum Risse auf und bleiben splitterfrei.
Diese Materialkombination ist hochmodern und stilistisch sehr reizvoll. Der kühle, glänzende Edelstahl harmoniert hervorragend mit dem organischen, warmen Holzton und nimmt der Fassade die Strenge.
Ein großer Vorteil dieser Materialkombination ist die leichte Demontierbarkeit. Das Holz ist meist nur mit Schrauben von unten durch das Geländerprofil gesichert und lässt sich bei Defekten problemlos erneuern.
Ja, Holz darf als oberer Abschluss verwendet werden, sofern es die statischen Anforderungen an eine Querlast (Holmlast) erfüllt. Der Handlauf muss das Gewicht von Personen, die sich dagegenlehnen, sicher ableiten.

After a long search, we discovered this shop. Great service, very friendly and competent advice. Top quality. When purchasing from the online shop, the various options are clearly displayed, which makes selection and purchase easier. Payment also possible via PayPal. The delivery announcement by the forwarding agent worked well. The window grille was carefully packed and delivered. We will definitely be ordering more window grilles here. Purchase August 2025; UPDATE: We have become repeat customers and bought another window grille from Kirchberger in November - absolutely satisfied - fits together perfectly.
Very fast delivery, the bike shed was very well packaged and could be set up immediately. Top
