All connections fit flush, resulting in a pleasing, streamlined appearance. The internal connections allow the construction of continuous handrail systems.
STRONGRAIL® systems feature low electrical conductivity and exhibit high strength. Systems meet IBC 2009 with a 2:1 factor of safety with a 4-foot (1200mm) maximum post spacing.
