Flexi-Fit Technology
Our innovative Flexi-Fit system allows brackets to be easily slid and positioned anywhere along the rail, making installation simple and adaptable to any layout. Once fitted, a PVC insert along the underside seals the rail, delivering a refined, professional finish.

Guide Handrails and Grab Rails can be tailored to suit virtually any design requirement. Whether you need specific lengths, unique bends, or custom configurations for corridors, stairways, or outdoor areas, our modular system and bespoke Flexi-Fit technology make it easy to create a handrail that fits perfectly. This flexibility ensures continuous support and a seamless finish, no matter the layout or environment.
