Disability Discrimination Act Handrail

Stargard The original "Warm to the touch" handrail system. Not simply a powder coated finish... but 4mm (4,000 microns) thick PVC sleeving, on to galvanised steel tube. Stargard requires minimal maintenance. Stargard Applications Stargard is suitable for internal and external locations, and in particular, offices, schools, public buildings, sheltered housing and access for the less able bodied (Stargard meets the requirements of the DDA Building Regs Part M 2004). In fact, wherever durable performance and low maintenance is required. Stargard ... The Product The handrail has a finished diameter after sleeving of 42mm or 50mm. The baluster posts are all 50mm finished diameter. The fittings (glass brackets, wall brackets, baluster tops etc.) are stainless steel bright polished. Infill panels are toughened glass (clear, tinted or etched), powder coated perforated steel, mid rails (pvc sleeved or stainless steel) or stainless steel wire. PVC sleeving standard colours are black, white, yellow, red, blue, grey, green, silver and bronze. Special colours can be manufactured but a minimum quantity requirement applies. Tactile handrail ends which may also be of a contrasting colour, can easily be accomodated. Stargard is a unique design which combines the strength of steel tube with the smooth finish and warm touch of the pvc sleeving. This concept means that, if required, the handrail can be one colour and the balusters another. The stainless steel fittings separating the two colours.e.g. blue handrail with grey balusters, white handrail with black balusters and many other combinations. The handrail is designed to have only one mechanical site joint per flight of stair. The 4mm thick tubular pvc sleeving (shown at the top of this page) is factory applied after fabrication of the handrail and balusters. This pvc sleeving as well as being a smooth colourful finish, will resist knocks and bumps, will not chip, is "warm to the touch" and easy to maintain. Because the colour is consistent through the full 4mm of thickness, it will not require any further work other than regular cleaning.
