White handrail

What Is the Purpose of a Handrail?

Handrails are a stylistic, safety feature of the home providing support on stairs, balconies and level changes. They function to prevent falls and injuries. Handrails are essential to make you feel comfortable and confident at all times in your home.

What Is the Difference Between a Handrail and a Railing?

Handrails are safety features designed to provide grip and support while walking up stairs and ramps or across a balcony. You physically hold the handrail for additional safety to maintain balance and reduce the risk of falling.

Railings are barrier systems that are used to prevent falls from elevated areas. They act as a structural fence on an elevated surface such as a deck or balconies.

Why Choose a White Handrail?

A white handrail offers a clean and timeless appearance. It can blend with any type of architectural style such as contemporary or classic style. They can also integrate easily with most other colour schemes.

Based on the theme of your home you can decide what is the best colour for a handrail or get advice from TECHNAL.

White Handrails for Indoor and Outdoor Use

White handrails are very versatile, they are suitable for both indoor and outdoor use. Whether on staircases, balconies or terraces, a white handrail can fit your home while providing additional comfort and safety.

Materials Used for White Handrails

Aluminium is the strongest choice for handrails as it is highly durable and resistant to extreme weather conditions. It is low maintenance and can be easily cleaned. It is unaffected by the Middle Eastern dust and sand.

It is more durable than wood. Wood tends to break down over time, especially when subjected to harsh weather conditions, it can warp and crack. In the long term, aluminium exterior white handrails remain in their original pristine condition.

Wooden handrails however can be effective when used indoors where they complement and enhance a minimal, wooden aesthetic.

What Are the Two Types of Handrails?

Wall mounted: These handrails are applied directly onto the wall, they are an ideal for areas where there is a lack of space.

Integrated: Integrated handrails are applied to the top of an existing balustrade making them ideal for staircases that don't have a wall on either side.
