GRP handrails are durable, cost effective and practically maintenance free. We offer a choice of round or square tube section modular handrail and guardrail systems. Plus, we can provide custom built fibreglass railings to fit a wide range of settings.
Our fibreglass handrails are suitable for most industrial or commercial environments. They are commonly used for stairways, walkway and platform handrails and for guarding around machinery. The provision of a mid (knee) rail and kick (toe) plate offers a full guardrail configuration.
These long lasting GRP handrail systems are designed to comply with relevant standards and provide a versatile, cost-effective alternative to metal or wooden rails.
Evergrip fibreglass handrails not only offer excellent value for money, they are electrically non-conductive and ergonomic (warm to the touch). What’s more, GRP handrails can be specially built and installed to meet your specific requirements. Plus, they have excellent resistance to fatigue and impact and have great resistance to corrosion, common chemicals and the weather.
Your handrail is available to order in high visibility safety yellow (RAL 1023) or steel grey (RAL 7045) colours with a full range of fittings available for the modular range.
We offer two types of high-quality GRP handrail types: Modular Round Section Systems or Profiled Top Square Section
All of the necessary fittings and fasteners required for assembly are supplied as standard. Plus, we can offer engineering confirmation, drawings and fabrication as additional services.
The basic design principles for GRP guardrails:
In accordance with general building standards:
Our GRP handrails adhere to the following design standards:
A modular GRP handrail system can be installed in a variety of different scenarios. They are particularly suited for industrial environments. The most common applications include:
The fibreglass handrail profiles are manufactured from polyester resin and glass filaments with a surface veil by a process called pultrusion. This ensures consistently high-quality product. The associated GRP fittings are made by a process of casting.
The optional application of a clear polyurethane coating or UV wax to completed assemblies when used in exterior environments, can further enhance durability by reducing any long-term colour fade. Painting of profiles is also possible, and you can contact us for further details on this.
GRP materials have been used successfully in building and construction for 40+ years, with no discernible degradation in performance.
