It may be hard to believe that good balustrades or handrails for schools will have a dramatic effect on the way we interact and travel through them.
According to a hse.gov.uk in 2007 and probably the most poignant point supporting this is that trips and slips (falling on same level) contributed to proportionally more major injuries than falls (from height). They accounted for almost 11,000 or 38% of all major injuries and more than 27,000 of over ‘3 day’ injuries in the workplace.
SG System Products know that the education sector provides challenges for specifiers, handrails must be tough yet attractive. But combining two of our classics we believe we have the perfect solution.
Stargard with perforated infills for Schools
We would suggest combining Stargard, the original “warm to the touch” handrail, with either of our stainless steel balusters. The resulting design is robust, attractive and requires minimum maintenance making it ideal for use as a college, university or school handrail system.
Single and double (upper and lower) handrails and a variety of infill panel options add to the design possibilities. Infill panels can be offset from the handrail which enables them to be higher than the handrail height as an added safety benefit. See more at:
