FRP Square Handrail Sleeve
Our FRP (Fibre Reinforced Polymer) Handrail Sleeve is a reliable and versatile upgrade for traditional steel, aluminium or PVC handrails. Purpose-designed for outstanding safety, impressive durability, and a contemporary finish, these sleeves are well suited to a variety of settings—particularly where resilience, impact resistance, and stringent compliance with Australian standards are non-negotiable. They are specifically engineered to pair seamlessly with SHS (Square Hollow Section) 50×50 profiles, providing a snug, secure fit over standard SHS handrail structures. This compatibility makes installation straightforward and ensures a sturdy, long-lasting handrail system that benefits from the corrosion resistance and low-maintenance qualities of FRP.
Key Features & Benefits
- Corrosion Resistance: Like all our FRP products, these handrail sleeves will not rust or corrode, even in the presence of moisture, chemicals or saltwater. They are especially suitable for coastal, industrial and chemically aggressive environments.
- Lightweight Construction: FRP handrail sleeves are significantly lighter than metal alternatives, making transport, handling, and installation easier and safer. The reduced weight also helps minimise labour costs on-site.
- Exceptional Strength-to-Weight Ratio: Despite their lightweight build, FRP sleeves offer outstanding durability and impact resistance, ensuring dependable handrail protection in high-traffic and challenging environments.
- Electrical & Thermal Insulation: With inherent resistance to electrical conductivity and heat, FRP handrail sleeves provide added safety in areas exposed to electrical hazards or temperature extremes.
- Safe, Smooth Profile: The precision-finished surface and rounded profile of our sleeves reduce snag and trip risks, while delivering a neat, professional appearance—ideal for public spaces, commercial settings and busy walkways.
- Long-Lasting & Low Maintenance: Enjoy reliable, long-term performance with minimal upkeep. FRP handrail sleeves resist fading, cracking, warping and wear, even under harsh Australian sunlight and demanding conditions.
- Versatile Applications: Suitable for mining, marine, construction and infrastructure projects—anywhere a tough, high-visibility handrail sleeve is needed to enhance safety and ensure compliance.
