ARC FRP Handrail

ARC Handrail system is Glass reinforced plastic Handrail system, providing stainless steel advantages at an affordable price. These are produced from Polyester resin, pultruded with a surface veil. The joining system is GRP cast and maintenance free.

ARC Handrail systems are superior to conventional metallic systems. These Handrails are designed and manufactured to be easily installed with no guess work involved. Components are light weight and easy to fabricate.

The ARC Handrail line includes everything needed to install horizontal and inclined handrail systems as per client designs.

FRP Handrails, in combination with FRP walkway grating and stair treads, provide the ultimate in corrosion resistance for aggressive environments such as offshore oil platforms, food processing plants, chemicals plant, paper plants etc. Strong yet light weight made from pultruded fiberglass and isopathalic polyester resin, this system can be used in the harshest of environments.

Advantages of ARC FRP Handrail

Corrosion Resistance

Corrosion Resistance

FRP handrails are highly resistant to corrosion, making them suitable for both indoor and outdoor applications. They can withstand exposure to moisture, chemicals, and harsh environmental conditions without rusting, corroding, or deteriorating. This corrosion resistance ensures long-lasting durability and maintains the structural integrity of the handrails.

Lightweight and High Strength

Lightweight and High Strength

FRP handrails are lightweight compared to metal handrails, making them easier to handle, transport, and install. Despite their lightweight nature, FRP handrails possess high strength and can withstand significant loads and impacts. This combination of lightweight and high strength makes FRP handrails an attractive choice for various applications.

Low Maintenance

Low Maintenance

FRP handrails require minimal maintenance, saving time and costs associated with upkeep. They do not need painting, coating, or rust prevention treatments, reducing the need for regular maintenance. Cleaning FRP handrails is simple, typically requiring only a mild cleaning solution and a soft cloth.

anti slip

Slip Resistance

FRP handrails can be designed with slip-resistant surfaces, enhancing safety for users. Various surface textures, such as grit or aggregate, can be incorporated into the handrail design to provide a secure grip, even in wet or oily conditions. This slip resistance reduces the risk of accidents and improves overall safety.

Electromagnetic transparency

Electrical Insulation

FRP handrails are electrically non-conductive, providing an additional safety feature. They do not conduct electricity, reducing the risk of electrical shock or electrocution in the event of contact with electrical sources. This makes FRP handrails a safer choice for installations near electrical equipment or in environments with potential electrical hazards.

uv protection

UV Resistance

FRP handrails are resistant to UV degradation, making them suitable for outdoor applications. They can withstand prolonged exposure to sunlight without cracking, fading, or losing their structural integrity. This UV resistance ensures that the handrails maintain their appearance and performance, even in harsh sunlight conditions.

Customizable

Customizable

FRP handrails can be customized to meet specific design and aesthetic requirements. They can be fabricated in various colors, shapes, and sizes to suit different architectural styles and user preferences. FRP handrails can also be designed with specific dimensions and configurations to comply with building codes and accessibility standards.

Durability

Durability

FRP handrails are highly durable and have a long lifespan. They can withstand impacts, abrasion, and general wear and tear without easily breaking or deforming. This durability reduces the need for frequent replacements and ensures long-lasting performance.

Ease of Installation

Easy Installation

FRP handrails are easy to install and can be fitted using various methods, such as mechanical fasteners or adhesive bonding. They can be cut, drilled, and shaped on-site to accommodate specific installation requirements. The ease of installation reduces labor costs and minimizes disruption to the surrounding environment.

cost effective

Cost-Effective

While the initial cost of FRP handrails may be higher than some traditional handrail materials, their long-term cost-effectiveness is significant. The durability, low maintenance requirements, and extended lifespan of FRP handrails make them a cost-effective solution in the long run, reducing overall lifecycle costs.

Aesthetic versatility

Aesthetics

FRP handrails offer a modern and attractive appearance. They can be designed with smooth surfaces, sleek lines, and various color options to complement the architectural style of the building or structure. FRP handrails can enhance the overall aesthetics of the space while providing functional and safety benefits.
