What is a Wrap-Around Handrail?

A wrap-around handrail is a continuous railing system that extends around corners, landings, and staircases to provide seamless support. This type of railing is commonly used for:

• Outdoor stairways leading to commercial buildings, homes, and public spaces.
• Porch railings that wrap around the perimeter for added safety.
• Ramps and walkways requiring accessibility compliance.
• Balconies and terraces for an aesthetically pleasing and functional barrier.

These handrails not only improve safety and mobility but also add a sleek, modern look to exterior spaces.

Benefits of an Exterior Metal Wrap-Around Handrail

1. Durability & Weather Resistance

Michigan’s climate can be unpredictable, with harsh winters, heavy rain, and humid summers. A metal handrail built with high-quality steel or aluminum ensures long-lasting durability against corrosion, rust, and wear. Our handrails are powder-coated or galvanized for additional protection against the elements.

2. Increased Safety & Accessibility

Handrails are essential for preventing slips and falls, especially in icy or wet conditions. Our wrap-around railings meet ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) compliance standards, ensuring a secure grip for individuals of all abilities. Whether for a business, school, or residential property, installing a sturdy handrail enhances accessibility.

3. Custom Design & Precision Engineering

Each metal wrap-around handrail we fabricate is customized to fit the exact dimensions and layout of your property. We use advanced CAD design and precision welding to ensure a perfect fit, whether you need a straight, curved, or multi-level railing system.

4. Aesthetic Appeal & Property Value

Beyond functionality, a well-designed metal handrail can enhance the curb appeal of any property. Our handrails come in various styles, from modern and minimalist to ornate and decorative. With custom finishes and design options, we can match the architectural style of your building while boosting its overall value.

5. Low Maintenance

Unlike wood or plastic railings, metal railings require minimal upkeep. Regular cleaning and occasional touch-ups on the finish will keep them looking new for years. Our high-quality coatings ensure resistance to fading, chipping, and peeling, even in extreme Michigan weather conditions.
