According to John Ervin Stoltzfus, a sales representative at Key-Link Fencing and Railing, Inc., secondary handrails provide greater safety and peace of mind because they\u2019re easier to grasp and hold on to than other railings.<\/p>\n<p>Commercial construction projects often need them to comply with ADA Code requirements. For residential settings, you\u2019re typically required to install a secondary handrail that\u2019s easier to grasp on one side of a deck or patio stair railing when there are four or more stair risers.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSecondary handrails come in both aluminum and vinyl and in different styles and colors to meet customers\u2019 safety needs and design preferences,\u201d explains Stoltzfus. \u201cFor example, at Key-Link, we offer a basic 1.5-inch round handrail and a decorative 2-inch handrail that matches the Arabian series of railings.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Contact us if you need information or have questions about the various secondary handrail options available for outdoor and indoor applications<\/p>\n<p>[\/column-third-1-2]<br \/>\n[column-third-3]<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-435\" src=\"http:\/\/www.homesteadoutdoorproducts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/Sidebar-02.jpg\" alt=\"Help customers make their home sweet home a \u201chome safe home\u201d for the holidays!\" width=\"320\" height=\"984\" data-size=\"x\" \/> [\/column-third-3]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[column-third-1-2] With winter around the corner, both residential and commercial property owners want to be sure outdoor stairs are as safe as possible.
