Best Places to install FDOT Handrail

There are a few FDOT handrail installation guidelines that Delamere Industries always follows:

1. Handrails should be installed on both sides of stairs and ramps.

2. Handrails should be 34-38 inches high, with a gripping surface that is 1-1/4 inches wide.

3. The top of the handrail should be placed between 8 and 9 inches from the nose of the stair tread or the leading edge of the ramp slope.

4. When possible, handrails should be attached to walls, using brackets or screws. In cases where a wall is not available, posts or other sturdy supports should be used.

5. Handrails should be continuous, without any interruptions between posts or supports.

There are a few considerations when it comes to installing FDOT handrail. The first is the location of the installation. Some of the best places to install FDOT handrail are near stairs, in parking garages, and on pedestrian walkways.

Another consideration is the type of handrail that is best suited for the installation. There are a few different types of FDOT handrail, including grip-style handrail, standard handrail, and top-mounted handrail. Grip-style handrail is perfect for installations where people will be walking in wet or icy conditions, as it provides a better grip. Standard handrail is perfect for most applications, while top-mounted handrail is ideal for installations where there is limited space.

Once you have determined the location and type of FDOT handrail that is best suited for your installation, you can then begin shopping for the right product. Delamere Industries offers a wide variety of FDOT handrail products that are sure to meet your needs.
