GRP Handrail Tube
GRP handrail tube is a lightweight, non-conductive, corrosion-resistant pultruded round tube manufactured from glass reinforced plastic (GRP). It cuts to size and installs with minimal tooling, keeping labour costs down across a wide range of project specifications.
Commonly used as a handrail tubing along pedestrian walkways and staircases, or applied as a guardrail or gateway. It serves as a standalone solution or part of a wider safety system across sectors, including rail, offshore, construction and data centres.
Designed to be durable and fire-retardant, GRP handrail tube requires no regular treatment or replacement and is low-maintenance.
