Fiberglass Railing Systems

The raw materials for pultrusion include a liquid resin mixture (containing resin, fillers and specialized additives) and reinforcing fibers. To achieve the reinforcement purpose, materials in continuous forms such as rolls of fiberglass mat and doffs of fiberglass roving are used. During the pultrusion process, the raw materials are pulled through a heated steel forming die. When the reinforcements are saturated with the resin mixture (“wet-out”) in the resin bath and pulled through the die, the resin comes hardened due to the heat from the die and the cured profiles are thus formed in the same shape as the die.

Manufactured with the pultrusion process, the fiberglass reinforced handrail shapes contain up to 70% glass fibers, guaranteeing extraordinary mechanical properties to the system.

The handrail system is composed of various pultruded shapes. These systems utilize tubes, kickplate and solid inserts.

Handrail systems are designed to meet OSHA requirements. They are available in Polyester and Vinyester resin. A secondary clear U.V. coating is applied as a standard.
