At BPI, we specialise in DDA compliant handrail and balustrade systems designed with safety, accessibility and longevity in mind. We have a range of products suitable for railway applications, specifically BPI Stargard, our specialist PVC sleeved ‘Not Cold to Touch’ handrail system.
What makes Stargard different?
BPI Stargard is a specialist PVC sleeved handrailing system that is 4mm (4,000 microns) thick and extremely durable. It has been installed at over 50 UK railway stations over recent years, making it an increasingly popular choice for areas with high footfall and continuous usage.
BPI Stargard is stronger than traditional powder coating, which is on average only 125 microns thick, leaving it susceptible to chipping, scuffing and wear over a short time. BPI Stargard requires little to no maintenance, with a wipe-clean and chip-resistant surface, meaning it is manufactured to last.
Amongst many benefits, our PVC sleeved handrail is ‘warmer to touch’ in comparison to traditional stainless steel alternatives. On-site testing has revealed BPI Stargard is on average 4 degrees warmer to touch when compared against stainless steel in the same environment, however this can vary depending on application. A ‘warmer to touch’ sleeve allows for users to hold onto the rail for longer, improving accessibility and safety.
Our handrail is available in a wide range of UV stable colours and offers a continuous, smooth protective covering, making it ideal for any application.
