Fibex GRP Modular HandrailTHE COST EFFECTIVE ALTERNATIVE TO METAL HANDRAILOur ergonomic GRP handrail system meets the requirements of BS4592:0 2006+A1 2012

A non conductive, corrosion resistant alternative to metal.

STRENGTH AND STABILITYMade from Glass Reinforced Plastic (GRP) the handrail offers exceptional strength and impact resistance despite its light weight properties.

LOW MAINTENANCEGRP is corrosion and weather resistant, requiring little on going maintenance to sustain the long life span of the handrail.

EASY TO INSTALLThe lightweight, modular system includes a comprehensive range of moulded fittings ensuring easy installation.

The Fibex GRP modular handrail system is a cost

effective alternative to conventional metal or timber

handrails.

The handrail system consists of a 50x40mm GRP

pultruded tube (5mm wall) in 5m lengths and a range

of moulded fittings. The extensive range of handrail

components can be configured for a wide variety of

applications and uses. Fibex can design a handrail

system to suit your specific requirements and also offer

and installation service if required.

The handrail range has been tested by Lancaster

University and is certified to meet the requirements of

BS4592:0 2006+A1 2012 Industrial flooring, stairs and

handrails for the general duty (0.36kN/m).

Fibex heavy duty GRP structural handrail system offers

incredible durability and is easy to fabricate and install.

Robust and sturdy, our standard handrails outperform

metallic and timber alternatives due to GRP’s high

strength-to-weight ratio and low installation and

maintenance costs.

The handrail system meets all the requirements of

BS4592:0 Industrial Flooring, Stairs and Handrails for

Heavy Duty (0.74kN/m).

The system is installed with 1.1m high posts at 1.25m

centres. The posts can be bolted to a sidewall or

to a surface with feet. This configuration has been

independently tested at Lancaster University and has

passed 074kN/m load test.

Our standard handrail system consists of four

pultruded profiles (box section, round tube, handrail

profile and kick plate) which are available in 6 metre

lengths. The handrail is easy to make by drilling a

38mm hole into the box sections for the tube to be

inserted for the knee rail. The handrail profile sits on

top and the toe rail at the base. The handrail system

meets all the requirements of BS4592:0 Industrial

Flooring, Stairs and Handrails for Heavy Duty

application (0.74kN/m).
