Get to know the Standards Covering Disabled Access

Handrails are essential in helping many people, particularly those with a disability and the elderly, gain safe access to a building and in order to do this they need to meet some very specific requirements. These include a tube diameter of between 40 and 45mm, provide a smooth and continuous handrail without any sharp edges or snag points, be slip resistant, provide a good visual contrast between the handrail and its background, and not be hot/cold to the touch. It’s the ideal choice for all new build and refurbishment projects.

The Kee Klamp Access DDA Handrail’s range of tubular fittings is designed specifically to meet the requirements of the Building Regulations Part M, British Standard BS 8300 and the Equality Act.
