Challenges with Traditional Handrail
- Metallic handrails are generally affected by corrosion. In the case of steel, this metal has to be constantly maintained due to scaling, rust, and similar issues.
- Metals, like steel, aluminum and wrought iron, are popular choices for commercial and industrial settings, where wood provides a more classic appearance mainly for indoor applications. Fiberglass is often used when the view beyond the railing is important.
- Steel is also difficult to install due to its weight and requires special equipments to make on-site adjustments.
- Periodic maintenance become a hinderance for public and makes the environment unpleasant
- Steel may be a difficult material to use for a DIY project due to its weight.
- In addition, customers will have more detailed fabrication/installation tasks, higher weight issues, heat conductivity, and electrical issues etc.
To overcome these challenges, Fiberglass handrail is the better options
