Polyurethane Handrail Profile
Polyurethane handrail profiles manufactured from high-density rigid polyurethane (150-220 kg/m³) deliver robust structural ergonomics for staircases, balconies, and terrace balustrades. Engineered to mimic real wood mechanical strength while offering superior weather resistance, these handrail capping profiles will not rot, splinter, swell, or dent under outdoor impact or hail. With closed-cell water absorption under 1%, they withstand demanding exterior climates (-100 °C / +80 °C) without cracking or decaying. Pre-primed with a durable factory white acrylic technical primer, Polure polyurethane handrail profiles accept water-based, synthetic, or exterior UV-resistant topcoat paints. Installation requires clean, dry structural mounting channels, miter joints glued with PU assembly adhesive, and mandatory mechanical screw attachment (silicone is strictly forbidden). Lightly sand with 180-220 grit paper prior to painting.
Frequently Asked Questions
What material are Polure polyurethane handrail profiles made of?
They are crafted from high-density rigid polyurethane (150-220 kg/m³), providing wood-like mechanical strength and rot-proof durability.
Can polyurethane handrail profiles be installed outdoors on balconies?
Yes, polyurethane resists water absorption (<1%) and extreme temperatures from -100 °C / +80 °C. Outdoor installations require UV-resistant exterior paint.
What adhesive and fixings are required for polyurethane handrails?
Use PU assembly adhesive along with countersunk mechanical screws. Silicone is strictly forbidden as it cannot support structural load.
Do polyurethane handrail profiles require regular maintenance?
No, unlike real wood, polyurethane handrails will not rot, splinter, or attract insects. Simply clean with a damp cloth when needed.
