Frequently Asked Questions — Handrails India

What is the correct handrail height per NBC 2016?

NBC 2016 specifies 900mm measured vertically from the pitch line for staircase handrails. For ramps and accessible corridors, the Harmonised Accessibility Guidelines specify 760mm to 900mm from finished floor level. A second handrail at 600mm is recommended for children and wheelchair users in institutional and public buildings.

What profile is required for graspable handrails?

NBC 2016 and the Harmonised Accessibility Guidelines require handrails with a graspable circular cross-section of 32mm to 50mm diameter. Oval and custom profiles are acceptable provided they have an equivalent graspable perimeter. Flat bar or square profiles are not considered graspable and do not satisfy accessibility requirements.

Do you supply handrails for hospital anti-ligature requirements?

Yes. Anti-ligature handrail profiles with no projecting brackets, no exposed fixings and continuous rounded surfaces are available for psychiatric wards, high-dependency units and secure facilities. SS 316 standard for all healthcare environments.
