Why are Metal Handrails and Balustrades Important?
Metal handrails and balustrades play a crucial role in ensuring the safety of staircases. Some steps may create a hazard as they are not slip resistant and others may need caution due to bad weather conditions.
-
Prevent falls: Handrails provide a secure grip, reducing the risk of slipping or falling, especially for children, elderly individuals, or those with mobility challenges.
-
Support and stability: Handrails offer additional support when carrying objects or navigating the stairs, enhancing stability and balance.
-
Visual guidance: Balustrades, with their vertical railings, provide visual cues, particularly in low-light conditions, helping individuals navigate the stairs safely.
