Stargard, the original “warm to the touch” DDA compliant handrail from BPI, has been used to replace existing handrails at stations along the route of London’s Docklands Light Railway.
A total of one kilometre of painted and powder coated handrails on several DLR stations were replaced with the BPI innovative Stargard solution.
The 4mm (4,000 microns) thick PVC sleeve was manufactured in a special melon yellow colour requested by DLR and this colour is consistent throughout the thickness of the material.
The handrail is also designed and manufactured to resists knocks and bumps. The robust handrail is fitted using stainless steel brackets to keep ongoing maintenance to a minimum.
Stargard is manufactured in site suitable lengths of between three metres and five metres to help keep the number of visible joints to an absolute minimum.
Already a first choice system in terms of durability and for its aesthetic appeal, the Stargard handrail system’s design means it can be utilised in a wide range of settings.
Stargard can be specified in a range of colours, can be fitted to different designs of baluster, these options when combined with a range of infill panels make Stargard ideal for office, public buildings, school and even railway stations for both interior and exterior applications.
Fabricated from galvanized mild steel tube, Stargard can incorporate LED insert lighting for health, safety and security environments.
BPI is a specialist in the design, manufacture and installation of handrail and balustrade systems tailored to suit specific applications.
