ADA Compliant Handrails
Handrails and stairs are like peanut butter and jelly or french fries and ketchup: a perfect pair. In slick and slippery winter weather, handrails prevent us from taking painful and embarrassing falls. Even if we don’t use some handrails, we appreciate their presence (just in case the worse should happen). And for the disabled and elderly, handrails are crucial; they can be the difference between a comfortable walk up the stairs and a terrible injury. To ensure that handrails are built with safety and consistency in mind, and to guarantee that railings are accessible to people with disabilities, the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) created a set of compliance standards.
