Enhanced steel handrails with a hygienic protective handrail coating

When you are walking up or down a flight of stairs do you hold the handrail? Do you even notice if you use the handrail? Have you ever thought about the hygiene of these handrails?

It can be off putting thinking about the hygiene of handrails anywhere but with SG System Products using and recommending SteriTouch, an anti microbial additive coating on their stainless steel handrails you don’t have to worry!

The new finish can be added to the handrail providing an effective barrier against bacteria and hand borne germs such as MRSA, Ecoli and Salmonella. As you can imagine, the handrail protection coating is being demanded for use in heavily used areas such as hospitals, care homes, medical centres, doctors and dentist surgeries.

An advantage to using the coating is that they are unaffected by cleaning chemicals, scratches, abrasions and normal tear and wear.
