STRONGRAIL™ architectural fiberglass handrail
systems are:
- Corrosion resistant
- Easy to field fabricate
- Structurally strong
- Low in thermal conductivity
- Impact resistant
- Low electrical conductivity
- Lightweight
|
STRONGRAIL™ systems are produced in lightweight standard sections that include both post and rail. Systems can be prefabricated in large sections and shipped to the site or they can also be fabricated and installed on site with simple carpenter tools.
An easy-to-assemble design provides reduced labor and maintenance, resulting in long-term savings and elimination of the cost and inconvenience of “downtime for repairs."
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 2006 with a 2:1 factor of safety with a 4-foot (1200mm) maximum post spacing.
Corrosion resistant fiberglass with molded-in color will outlast aluminum or steel systems with virtually no maintenance.
