An aluminium handrail and balustrade system

with an "hygienic" handrail coating if required.

"A much lighter, more open profile "

AL 50 Applications

AL 50 has been specifically designed to enable the balusters to be placed at wider centres. (up to 2.0 metres apart.)

Balconies, viewing areas of many types, as well as staircases, are therefore suited for AL 50.

When the "Anti-microbial" powder coating has been applied, the AL50 hygienic handrail becomes ideal for medical centres, surgeries, care / retirement homes and other similar applications.

AL 50 ....The Product

The "thick wall" balusters allow greater spacing between the uprights, whilst still complying with design loading requirements. This wide spacing of the balusters helps to reduce the "metre run" price, and therefore the total balustrade cost of the project.

The handrail and balusters are fabricated from aluminium extrusions which have a smooth surface. This in turn gives a smooth finish to the powder coating.

The handrail is available in either 50mm or 44mm diameter,

and, as with all of our products, the handrail is designed to have only one mechanical joint per flight of stairs.

The baluster posts are 50mm outside diameter.

The brackets are satin polished stainless steel which give the product a more distinctive appearance.

Infill panel options are; toughened glass, (either clear, tinted or acid etched), mid-rails, stainless steel wire, stainless steel or powder coated perforated sheet.

The resulting assembly is much cleaner, sharper design.

Finishes

Being aluminium, AL 50 can be bright or satin polished, or more appropriately, powder coated.  Both internal and external applications are acceptable, however, a powder coated finish is essential for external work and is available in almost all RAL colours.  All AL 50 powder coating is thermostatically applied and then heat cured.

The special Anti-microbial coating which is available for the hygienic handrail, is effective against the spread of MRSA and E-coil and lasts for the life of the coating itself.
