Guard rail are usually constructed out of steel and formed into the traditional rail shape. They come in variety of sizes that can be custom fitted based on your needs. The railings are attached via mounting posts, or bollards, that are affixed to the concrete. Generally, guard railings are quite easy to install and do not require a general contractor or skilled craftsman.
Guard railings usually have large variety of colours and customization options. Because they are constructed from steel, powder coating is a great option for painting these rails. Powder coating is known for its uniform finish therefore, does not cracks or chips. Furthermore, powder coating is resistant to fading from the sun, scratching, peeling, and to most chemicals and solvents. Best of all, powder coating is usually environment friendly as no harmful solvents or thinners are needed in the painting process. Although the railings are available in many colours, most companies prefer to use the bright OSHA recomended yellow for high visibility.
Guard railings can also be fitted to the specific needs of your structure, as they are available in both single rail or double rail heights. Most people prefer placing the railing in front of large machines as well as the inside and or outside perimeter of their buildings.
The basic thought behind incorporation of guard rail is safe guarding from accidents and collisions. If an accident does occur it is far more cost efficient to replace or repair the guard rails versus repairing or replacing structures, equipment, walls, and anything else that may have been damaged. They are designed to be long lasting and require little to no maintenance. In conclusion, protective rails are a cost-effective solution for protecting your facility from collisions and work place accidents.
