Although, it says, ‘stylish and safe’ is ‘not a combination of words often used when discussing building materials’, specialist manufacturer of anti-ligature products, Intastop, believes it has successfully combined ‘both luxurious, high quality style’ and ‘a variety of highly effective safeguards’ within its new range of handrails.
The ‘high quality, solid wood’ handrails reportedly offer ‘complete safety’. For those with mobility requirements, they protrude 600 mm from the wall, giving an increased hand grab, and incorporate secure anti-tamper screw fixings hidden by timber pellets, offering a ‘totally flush finish’ for ligature prevention. They also ‘benefit from antibacterial properties’.
“Our wooden handrails – available in a range of wood finishes – offer a premium solution, and are perfect in settings where style and practicality are required,” explained Sarah Barsby, marketing director at Intastop. “They are ideal for corridors yet, with the ability to ascend, are entirely suitable for stairways too.”
Intastop’s ‘partnership’ with specialist in machined timber products, Haldane UK, ‘ensures that the bespoke handrails are expertly delivered every time’.
“The wooden handrails are designed to meet HBN 00-04 standards, and are particularly suited to settings where anti-ligature and anti-bacterial credentials are essential,” added Sarah Barsby.
