Handrails and Balustrades for the Education Sector
The education sector presents unique challenges for specifiers: handrails must be exceptionally durable, safe, and attractive. Our handrail solutions are designed to meet all of these needs.
Recommended System Configuration
For schools, colleges, and universities, we recommend combining Stargard, the original warm-to-the-touch handrail, with either Stargard or Sentinel (stainless steel) balusters.
This pairing creates a robust, low-maintenance handrail system that performs reliably in high-traffic environments while maintaining a clean, modern appearance. The resulting design is ideal for use as a college, university or school handrail system.
● Stargard handrail – the original warm-to-the-touch handrail
● Stargard or Sentinel balusters – available in PVC-coated steel or stainless steel
Design Options
We offer both single and double handrail configurations, along with a wide range of infill panel
options. Panels can be offset from the handrail and extended above handrail height, providing
an additional safety advantage, especially valuable in busy educational settings.

DDA Compliance
All of our Education handrail systems can be manufactured to be DDA compliant, giving you confidence that your installation is safe, accessible, and fully suitable for public buildings. Stargard handrails require minimal upkeep thanks to their 4mm (4,000 microns) thick PVC coating, which provides consistent colour throughout and exceptional resistance to bumps and scrapes. The warm-to-touch finish is particularly important in unheated areas or exterior locations.
Benefits of our Education Handrails:
● Warm to the touch: Stargard’s 4mm PVC coating provides comfort in low temperatures.
● Highly durable: Colour is consistent throughout the PVC layer and resists daily knocks and abrasions from heavy student use.
● Low maintenance: Designed for long-term performance with minimal upkeep.
● Safe and secure: Offset and extended infill options add extra protection on staircases and landings.
● Attractive appearance: Choose between contemporary stainless-steel balusters or matching PVC-coated components.
● Versatile: Suitable for corridors, staircases, ramps, and outdoor routes across all types of educational facilities.
