Introducing Custom Handrails and Grab Bars from Naimorbends: Safety, Style, and Code Compliance for Your Next Project

At Naimorbends, we’re thrilled to announce the latest addition to our product lineup: custom handrails with D returns designed to complement any interior or exterior staircase. Whether you’re working on a commercial, residential, or institutional project, our handrails are meticulously crafted to meet all major building codes, including the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and the International Building Code (IBC).

Architects understand that staircases are more than functional elements—they are design features that shape the experience and safety of a space. With Naimorbends, you can now integrate code-compliant handrails that not only enhance the aesthetic appeal but also provide the reliability and durability your projects demand.


Why Architects Choose Naimorbends for Handrails

  1. Complete Code Compliance
    Our handrails are designed to meet or exceed the requirements of:

    • ADA Standards for Accessible Design: Ensuring accessibility for all users, including proper heights, diameters, and extensions.

    • IBC Requirements: Addressing safety dimensions, clearance, and material durability.

    • Local and state-specific building codes for tailored compliance.

  2. Customization to Suit Every Design Vision
    We understand that no two projects are the same. Our handrails can be tailored to match any material, finish, or design aesthetic. Choose from sleek, modern metals, timeless wood finishes, or mixed-material options to complement your architectural style.

  3. Durability and Longevity
    Manufactured from premium-grade materials, our handrails withstand heavy use in high-traffic commercial spaces, all while retaining their beauty over time. Options include stainless steel, powder-coated aluminum, and treated wood for both indoor and outdoor applications.

  4. Seamless Integration with Stairs
    Whether your project involves a winding staircase, a straight flight, or complex transitions, we design handrails that integrate seamlessly with any configuration, ensuring functionality and safety for every user.


Essential Considerations for Architects Selecting Handrails

Before choosing handrails or grab bars for your project, here are a few factors to consider:

  1. Project Type and Use Case

    • Commercial or public buildings: Ensure ADA compliance for accessibility and usability.

    • Residential spaces: Emphasize design harmony with interiors.

    • Outdoor or industrial applications: Select materials resistant to weather and wear.

  2. Handrail Dimensions and Placement

    • Verify the height, diameter, and clearance from walls to ensure code compliance.

    • For ADA compliance:

      • Height: 34–38 inches above stair nosings.

      • Diameter: 1 1/4 to 2 inches for easy grip.

      • Wall clearance: Minimum 1 1/2 inches.

  3. Mounting and Installation Details

    • Wall-Mounted System: Our handrails are mounted with brackets spaced 16 inches apart, with customization available upon request.

    • Anchoring: Designed to anchor securely into studs, and fasteners are included for easy installation.

    • Pre-Welded Design: Handrails come as a single, pre-welded piece, requiring only wall connection for installation—no additional assembly needed.

  4. Load-Bearing Capacity

    • Strength: Our handrails support up to 350 lbs in any direction, exceeding ADA requirements and ensuring robust performance in high-traffic settings.

  5. Material and Finish Options

    • Standard Finishes: Powder coating and brushed finishes for durability and style.

    • Custom Finishes: Options like anodizing and patina are available upon request to suit specific design needs.

    • Corrosion Resistance: Stainless Steel 316 is available for projects in coastal or high-moisture environments.

  6. Custom Bends and Extensions

    • Handrails can include custom bends for unique configurations or to wrap around adjacent walls, ensuring seamless transitions in complex spaces.

  7. Aesthetic and Material Options

    • Match the handrails with the project’s overall theme (e.g., modern, traditional, minimalist).

    • Consider finishes that resist corrosion and stains for longevity.

  8. Safety and Extensions

    • Handrails must extend horizontally at least 12 inches beyond the top and bottom of the stairs.

    • Incorporate smooth edges and continuous runs for user safety.
