The Importance Of Handrails

A handrail is more than a feature which can brighten up a set of stairs, it’s a safety device. Sometimes the importance of a handrail can be overlooked, it’s a specially designed device to prevent people from tumbling headlong down a flight of stairs, which can result in some very nasty injuries.

Using the stairs can become a daunting part of everyday for some individuals, that is why handrails should be put in place to make using them easier. A good handrail is strong, durable and continuous from the top to the bottom so you do not have to take your hand of the rail at any given moment.

At Alpharail we understand the importance of a good handrail, which is why we have designed a range of different rails that will provide continuous support. Our handrails can be made to be either square or round. Whether you wish your rail to be wall mounted, ground mounted or attached to our vertical bar fence products, we can manufacture a product to suit your needs.

A Look at Some of the Projects Completed By Alpha Rail

The purpose behind  Alpha Rail is to create strong and robust products that still look aesthetically pleasing. That is why we are proud to show case our work from our happy customers.

We believe it is a great achievement to provide a service that fulfils the needs of our customers that is why we document the work to show you what we can do. Here are a few examples of what projects we have completed:

Speakers Corner Hyde Park

Our services were acquired to create specialist themed railings for Speakers Corner at Hyde Park. We created railings with rail heads in the shape of a megaphone to reflect the history of Speakers Corner.

Boothen Garden

We were asked to manufacture a decorative arch for a community garden in Stroke-on-Trent, which has now been given pride of place at the entrance to a regenerated garden.

This project has meant that our work has become the focal point and a gateway to a beautiful community garden that can be enjoyed by all.

We supplied the landscape contractors with the decorative arch and vertical railings that run either side of it, but we worked alongside with an architect to ensure that we fulfilled exactly what was needed of us. The design brief was to design an Art Nouveau style arch, featuring a motif that reflected the style produced at the local Minton Hollins tile factory.

Produced from mild galvanized steel we were proud to have our piece placed at the centre of this project.

St Neots

For St Neots, a school in Cambridgeshire, we worked alongside with them to provide safety and security for their school. We provided a 140M long railing system that was placed around the grounds of the school.

The 1.8M high, black powder coated railings, which we manufactured, supplied and installed by us provided the necessary safety measures due to the school being on a busy main road. The railings also included bespoke decorative features, which add an aesthetic quality to the design that subtly disguises its robust and functional purpose.

We have provided a range of services for a variety of people and companies and we are also happy to discuss any ideas that you may have when it comes to providing a service for you. For more information contact us on 01623 750 214 or visit our website.

Fencing for estates- Why it is a necessity

Estates possess a grand and luxurious air about them, this is partially due to the fact that they over shadow traditional homes and because in the ‘back garden’ you will find animals such as deer and sheep.

What is featured in many estates is estate fencing or most commonly known as park fencing which has a purpose of retaining stock and providing decoration for the grounds. This type of fencing mirrors the style of the traditional iron fencing that was used on old estates and parkland.

As well as country estates, estate rails can be found on prestigious parkland, this style of fencing is seen as a traditional and classic style of fence, but don’t let that fool you, this railing is not all about aesthetics. This modern fence is now stronger and more resilient than previous styles so you can feel comfortable that it’s not just all looks and no purpose.

Estate Railings are excellent for marking out boundaries on large areas of parkland, this is incredibly useful if an estate offers a public service as it blends in with the traditional appearance of most estates.

This type of railing is a lot more durable when compared to other styles of fencing such as wire as it’s made of steel and is susceptible to weathering. Estate railings also come with the option of including extras such as gates and a more traditional finish in order to adapt the railings to your specific need when purchasing from Alpharail.

If you purchase estate railings from us we can provide a galvanized finish or a powder coating, having a powder coating gives you the option to have your railings a different colour. This distinctive high performance railing has been tried and tested over many decades so you can rest assured that this product is durable.

At Alpharail we pride ourselves on providing a complete and excellent service, that is why we can supply and deliver your fencing to you, we can also go the extra mile and install your purchase.
