RDI RELEASES NEW GRASPABLE HAND RAIL Railing Dynamics, Inc. announces the release of its new Endurance® vinyl clad aluminum Hand RailTM. This new Hand Rail system is IBC, IRC, and ADA compliant at 6’spans and is available in 80”, 104”, and 120” lengths. Like RDI’s other Endurance products, this Hand Rail features low-maintenance vinyl, concealed fasteners, and easy installation. Unique to this system is its flexibility; components of this system are packaged individually, the system can be used to accommodate every angle scenario, and is recommended for outdoor as well as indoor applications, and is available in white or black. This \makes it a great choice to add to existing vinyl, wood, or metal applications. According to Chris Schneider, RDI Senior Engineer and Director of Product Development, “Our focus has always been, first and foremost, to design products that meet our customers’ changing needs. Our customers were asking for a more versatile, simpler ADA compliant Hand Rail, so we engineered this graspable Hand Rail to be just that.” Schneider says the new Hand Rail has been designed to be stronger, with a more seamless look, and at a lower cost than the old Hand Rail system. Notably new to this Hand Rail system is a decreased number of SKUs (11) and a reengineered stiffener which is designed for increased strength and ease of installation. This new stiffener is a rounded, aluminum tube-like stiffener which runs the entire length of the vinyl lineal and lends to easier installation, offering a smooth surface for mounting hardware to “bite” into (vs. the previous “gear-shape”). This system also features cast powder-coated 90° corners and a new 90° Inside Corner Bracket that simplifies installation when hand rail is mounted directly to a post in an inside corner application. This is ideal for ramps and commercial applications. RDI has discontinued its old graspable Hand Rail line and says that the new system will not be compatible with the current system. The new Hand Rail system is currently available for purchase. Since 1989, Railing Dynamics, Inc. has been one of the nation’s leading manufacturers of low-maintenance building solutions. RDI’s products include the Endurance® Original, Deck, and ADA Hand Rail lines, Novaline® railing system, and Titan® vinyl-clad metal railing system. The company’s products are marketed through a nationwide network of preferred distributors, with support from RDI’s national sales force and on-site factory training.
