Why Choose Aluminium Handrails?
Aluminium handrails have quickly become the preferred option for both commercial and residential applications, and here’s why:
- Lightweight and Strong: Our aluminium handrails are made with Kee Lite fittings, manufactured from high-grade aluminium silicon magnesium (A356-T6). This alloy offers the strength required for structural applications while being significantly lighter than steel. Easier handling, faster installation, and reduced transport costs come as standard.
- Built for the Outdoors: Unlike steel, aluminium naturally develops a protective oxide layer, making it exceptionally resistant to corrosion. This makes aluminium handrails for outdoor steps or exposed areas a smart long-term investment – ideal for coastal locations, garden steps, or damp environments.
- Flexible, Modular Design: Kee Lite tube and fittings offer full flexibility, allowing you to customise your aluminium handrail system to suit your layout. Whether you’re installing an aluminium handrail for concrete steps, a ramp railing or bespoke barrier system, the modular fittings make changes and future adjustments simple.
- No Welding. No Fuss: Installation is quick and easy. With no welding, or specialist tools required, you can assemble Kee Lite aluminium railings using a simple hex key. This eliminates the need for hot work permits and reduces labour time on site.
- Long-Term Value: Aluminium doesn’t rust, flake, or peel – meaning less maintenance and better longevity. Plus, its clean, modern look is perfect for public spaces, offices, schools, care homes, and commercial buildings.
Aluminium vs. Steel: A Smart Alternative
When compared to galvanised steel, aluminium handrails offer several key advantages:
- Lower Weight: Easier to transport, carry, and install.
- Superior Corrosion Resistance: Particularly in environments exposed to moisture, chemicals or salt.
- Cleaner Appearance: Aluminium stays looking good for longer without discolouration or flaking.
- No Rusting: Unlike steel, aluminium will not rust, even when scratched.
Ideal for Saltwater Applications
For projects in coastal locations or near saltwater, such as marinas, docks, or seaside public spaces, aluminium handrails and railing is a better choice over galvanised steel. Salt-laden are and moisture accelerate corrosion in steel, even when it’s galvanised. Aluminium, however, resists saltwater corrosion naturally thanks to its oxide layer, meaning it retains strength and appearance over time.
Whether you’re building an aluminium handrail for concrete steps near the cost, or a safety barrier for a seaside walkway, aluminium delivers unmatched durability in these environments.
