The benefits of colour coated handrails

Handrail must meet several requirements to comply with the Equality Act, such as contrasting visually to its surroundings, allowing the partially sighted to easily identify the handrail. We achieve this through a process known as powder coating, an alternative to painting.

Our powder coating service provides a wide range of practical and aesthetic benefits, and we believe it is a superior option to painting your handrail.
