Thanks for those I had also found them on line but was hoping that
someone had used them and that they had some feedback on their
application. I saw recently at Oxford Circus that the underground had
used some blue handrails of a high spec nature that were certainly warm
to the touch. They of course don't have the same level of vandalism in
these central London stations nor are they exposed to weather of course
which may explain why they looked good. I am trying to find out who
supplied them if I do I will let you know.
Kind Regards

I think it is a little unfair to list vandal-proof
as a requirement since that is clearly outside any
manufacturers' control but I would have thought the
following were at least worth investigating:

I would suggest that there is very little on the
market, if anything, that
pushes all those buttons.
It was raised at the BS8300 review meeting
recently. I have to say, as I
said there, I largely ignore it, the difference
even powder coated makes is
negligible. Timber is the best solution but is open
to vandalism and also it
has been known for blades to be pushed into the
timber and caused injury!
The ones covered in a plastic, provide less thermal
conductivity but again
get vandalised very easily.
I think my answer would be no details at all.
Doesn't really help much, sorry.

Dear All
Would anyone have details of a company that produce
'warm to touch'
handrails that would be suitable and robust enough
to use in outside,
public areas like railway stations, public stairs
etc. So not only warm
to touch, but may get abused, subject to all
weather conditions and need
to be available in all colours? The handrailing
itself will need to be
of a high 'architectural' standard not just looking
like keyclamp!
Any pictures where this is fitted would also be
welcome as I need to
convince some LA designers that this will be better
than the bright
stainless steel that they want to use!
Thanks
Kind Regards
