ADA Compliant Hand Railings
As a Sacramento, CA business owner, you know that your business needs to be ADA compliant, so that individuals with disabilities can access your business without endangering themselves or risking injury. There are quite a few restrictions that the ADA puts on hand railings to ensure the safety of everyone who uses them. Fortunately, you do not have to settle for boring or ugly hand railings in order to be ADA compliant; Linmoore Fencing can provide you with beautiful, stylish, and elegant hand railings that are 100% in compliance with ADA regulations.

So what are the ADA regulations on hand railings? First, the ends of the railings have to be designed so that they cannot accidentally catch on a coat, sleeve, or purse, possibly causing someone to fall down the stairs. The easiest way to do this is to have the rail end curve and attach to the wall. Obviously, this means that ornamental finials are out of the question, but we have a variety of beautiful designs for curved hand railing ends that will stun you with their beauty, proving once again that you do not have to sacrifice elegance for safety.
ADA hand railings also must be a certain distance from the wall so that one’s hand cannot get caught between the rail and the wall. We manufacture all our hand railings to be safe, and guarantee the ADA compliance of these and all other relevant aspects of our hand railing designs.
