Frequently Asked Questions
Why a grab rail on stairs?
If you need support on both sides when climbing stairs, a grab rail on the opposite wall to your banister gives you something to hold on both hands.
Is it different from a handrail?
Grab rails are shorter sections fitted where needed - perhaps at the top or bottom of stairs, or at a landing. Continuous handrails run the full length.
Where do you fit it?
Usually on the wall opposite your existing banister. We position it at the right height for comfortable gripping.
Will it hold my weight?
Yes - we fix into wall studs or use heavy-duty fixings. Properly installed grab rails are very secure.
