Handrails do more than just support people. They help keep a place safe and also make it look good. Whether it’s a stairway in an office or a balcony at home, picking the right handrail material is important. At Speed Aluminium, we have installed aluminium handrails in many projects. We have seen how well they work and how clean and modern they look.
Why Choose Aluminium?
Aluminium is strong and looks good at the same time. It does not get rusty. It is light and stays strong in many weather conditions, especially in places like the UAE where dust, moisture and heat can cause problems for other materials. When customers ask about other options instead of steel or wood, we usually recommend aluminium because it lasts longer and is easy to care for.
Safe Without Being Heavy
Safety is the top priority, especially in places where children, older people or many visitors use the handrails. Aluminium handrails give:
- Strong support and a good grip
- Resistance to rust even in wet or salty air
- Low heat from the sun so it does not get too hot to touch
- Smooth edges to avoid injuries
Steel handrails can be thick and heavy, but aluminium handrails are slim and light while still very strong.
Looks That Fit Anywhere
Aluminium handrails come in many finishes. You can get them shiny or dull, powder coated or brushed. This makes them fit well with both modern and old style designs.
You can match them with inside stairs, outside balconies, glass panels or even wood. Some clients like black matte for a simple look, while others choose silver anodized for a more industrial style.
Works Inside and Outside
One good thing about aluminium is that it works well indoors and outdoors. Rain, sun or salty air does not hurt it. It will not bend, crack or rust.
That is why aluminium is used for:
- Stairs in apartment buildings
- Balcony rails in houses
- Poolside safety rails
- Ramps in shopping centers
You don’t need to buy different materials for inside and outside. Aluminium works for all.
Saves Money Over Time
Aluminium might cost more at the start, but it saves money later. Why? Because it needs very little care. You don’t have to repaint or fix it often. If you clean it once in a while or polish it lightly, it will still look new.
Light But Strong
We often tell customers this: aluminium weighs less than steel but is still very strong. This makes it easier to move, shape and install. Because aluminium is light, we can finish projects faster and save on labor costs.
Good for the Environment
Aluminium is 100% recyclable. If you want to build or renovate with care for nature, aluminium handrails help. We like using materials that look good and are kind to the earth.
Design Options for Every Space
Every place is different and each client has different tastes. With aluminium, we can:
- Add glass panels inside the handrails
- Make smooth or sharp shapes
- Powder coat in almost any color
- Make simple or fancy designs
You can choose many styles. Aluminium fits your design ideas.
