GRP Handrails
If you’re looking for a cost-effective alternative to conventional metallic rails, GRP modular handrails are an excellent choice. Made up from 50mm tubes for the top-rail, mid-rail & upright posts, GRP moulded fittings are used in a key-clamp style, pieced together to complete the handrail system. Our modular handrails can be supplied pre-built to drawing or cut to size ready to be built on-site from flat pack form for your convenience.
