Handrails offer both practical and decorative advantages in your house, both of which are important for different reasons.
Handrails are found within both homes and public premises where there are flights of stairs – but how vital are they really? A handrail is a safety rail that is installed alongside your stairs, primarily to provide support as you ascend and descend your staircase. These essential stair parts are either installed to the wall or make up part of your balustrade – an upright rail structure that runs alongside your stairs.
The use of handrails has become so common nowadays. Although most individuals take handrails for granted, these frequently overlooked objects actually play an important role in keeping people safe. Handrails are usually made from sturdy materials such as aluminum.
HANDRAILS PROVIDE STABILITY ON YOUR STAIRS
The most significant reason handrails are fitted in homes is to provide support to those using the stairs. The rail provides a solid fixed support for you to grasp, helping to prevent tumbles if you misstep or trip – without a handrail, it’s much more difficult to maintain composure and your chances of falling are increased.
Handrails are especially needed if a child, elderly, or people with disabilities live on the property with you, as they may struggle to hold themselves up on the stairs without one.
As a support feature for access ramps and stairs, a handrail helps prevent people from falling off and helps them keep their balance. This feature of handrails is very important, especially for young children, senior citizens, and people with disabilities. These individuals, who usually have mobility issues, benefit from handrails as these objects allow them to get to their destination in a safe manner.
HANDRAILS CAN BE CUSTOM-MADE INTO A STYLE FEATURE
Safety aside, handrails also make for an eye-catching decorative aspect, drawing attention to your staircase and sprucing up your balustrade. Choose between curved and sleek classic handrails or contemporary cubed styles for a more modern aesthetic.
HANDRAILS PROVIDES A PEACE OF MIND FOR EVERY FAMILY AND VISITOR
For people with disabilities, or those suffering from certain conditions that can affect their mobility, such as vertigo, having something to grasp that can keep them balanced is very comforting. It reassures them that they won’t fall down or lose their balance as long as they’re close to the rail.
The peace of mind that they experience while touching the handrail also gives them the confidence to ascend stairs or ramps without asking other people for help.
