Architects Prefer Hollaender Component Based Railing Systems Over Welded

June 8, 2011 - PRLog -- CINCINNATI, OH – In a recent application Hollaender Manufacturing delivered an architectural railing system for the Grand Park Athletic Facilities in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina.  The project architect, PMH, specifically requested a Hollaender Speed-Rail® frame with welded wire mesh infill panels for the “live-work-play” environment due to the numerous advantages the system provides.

The specific combination of a Speed-Rail frame and wire mesh infill panels provided the perfect solution for this highly visible, high traffic application.   Hollaender’s Duo-Shield™ coating process, which combines e-coating with a powdered paint top coat, in combination with anodized aluminum pipe and aluminum magnesium 535 cast aluminum fittings, provided the corrosion protection necessary for a coastal environment.

In addition to durability, the system successfully supplied architects with the desired aesthetic and safety components necessary for the park.  The systems 4” x 4” square pattern accommodated the historical look they were seeking while addressing crowd control issues and allowing greater visibility for fans.

Hollaender offers several aluminum handrail systems that meet differing architectural styles and tastes.  All systems can be designed to meet OSHA, IBC, BOCA, SBC, & UBC guidelines. Various combinations of aluminum pipe, infill panels, and fittings can be selected for use in an assortment of applications.  Hollaender Railing Systems assure an extremely durable system with low maintenance needs for years to come.
