At present, there are two main types of materials in the domestic barrier-free handrail market: nylon and ABS plastic.
Nylon scientific name polyamide fiber, is a kind of synthetic fiber, nylon has high mechanical strength, high softening point, heat resistance, low coefficient of friction, wear resistance, self-lubrication, shock absorption and noise reduction, oil resistance, weak acid resistance, Alkali and general solvent resistance, good electrical insulation, self-extinguishing, non-toxic, odorless, good weather resistance, poor dyeability.
ABS resin is one of the five major synthetic resins. It has excellent impact resistance, heat resistance, low temperature resistance, chemical resistance and electrical properties. It also has the characteristics of easy processing, stable product dimensions, and good surface gloss. It is easy to paint. , coloring, and can also carry out secondary processing such as surface spraying metal, electroplating, welding, hot pressing and bonding.
In the application of barrier-free handrails, nylon handrails have better high temperature and low temperature resistance, while ABS plastic handrails have better low temperature resistance, but the high temperature resistance is obviously not as good as nylon handrails, and ABS will soften and deform when it reaches 60 degrees. The nylon handrail should reach 200 degrees; the service life of the nylon handrail is longer; the nylon material itself is non-toxic and is better than the ABS handrail in terms of environmental protection; the effect of the nylon handrail is obviously stronger than that of the ABS handrail; Better than ABS, so nylon armrests are better than ABS armrests.
Many elderly people accidentally fall due to dizziness when they get up. The elderly cannot withstand falling, and once they fall, they become a burden of care for their families. Home safety should be prepared in advance, just in case, home safety is a must.
Pregnant women, if they get up carelessly, will move the fetal air. It is very hard to be pregnant for ten months. The auxiliary bedside armrest can help to get up and facilitate.
Injured or disabled persons with difficulty in getting up, if they have difficulty getting up, they can use the armrest to force themselves to get up without asking for help.
At the beginning of the 20th century, in the West, due to the call of humanitarianism, a new method of architectural design - barrier-free design was born in the field of architecture at that time. Its appearance aims to use modern technology to fulfill the environment, provide the elderly, the disabled, women and children with a convenient and safe space for movement, and create an equal and participatory environment. Barrier-free handrails are also widely used as an indispensable product in design.
Handrails installed in public places are called barrier-free handrails, also known as safety grab bars or safety handrails. They are mainly used on both sides of corridors, toilets, public toilets and other places. It is a public facility that helps the elderly and the disabled to walk and get up and down.
With the aggravation of domestic aging and the improvement of living standards, more and more families choose to install various safety handrails. Especially for elderly families living alone, it is even more necessary to install such auxiliary products.
 
Where should the barrier-free handrails be installed?
 
The design of the barrier-free handrail fully reflects the humanization. This is a very good and practical facility, which can be seen in many scenes, but many people have never used it and do not know how important its role is. Corridors in these places are more common in places with large crowds such as hotels and hospitals. Barrier-free handrails are mainly aimed at special groups, such as pregnant women, the elderly, children, and people with disabilities. They can walk hand in hand and it's safe. In addition, it is also common in the bathroom. After all, people with limited mobility need barrier-free handrails to go to the bathroom. It can be seen how important its installation position is in the bathroom and other related issues. Let's see the steps of Jinan barrier-free handrails. it.
 
According to the height of the toilet, set it at a position 15 cm above the horizontal barrier-free handrail of the toilet, and also need to set a vertical handrail on the other side of the wall, which is more convenient to use. Barrier-free handrails are installed on both sides and above the urinal. There is also the place for the wash basin, which is also the front and sides of the wash basin table.
 
The first is the material. It is recommended to choose engineering plastics or synthetic plastics. Some customers may have questions, why not use metal? This question is due to the reason that engineering plastics do not understand. Compared with ordinary metals, engineering plastics have higher performance and more processing. Convenience, so you can save some costs too. The second is the choice of color, which is also very particular. After all, the elderly and disabled may sometimes have presbyopia, etc. Blue and imitation wood grain colors are more conspicuous than white walls, which helps extraordinary people see the location clearly and is convenient to use. The other is the distance between the handrail and the wall, which needs to be precisely controlled. If it is too small, it is easy to hit the wall, and if it is too wide, it is easy to catch the arm. This is very dangerous, so the width is generally set to 5 cm.
 


The installation position of the barrier-free handrail in the bathroom needs to be set according to the standard, and the control is required to be accurate. In addition, it is also very important to pay attention to the gap between the handrail and the wall.
 
What factors should be considered in the installation of barrier-free handrails?
 
The crowd served by the barrier-free handrail is special, so when choosing the installation, there are more things to consider than the general equipment. From a big perspective, it is not only necessary to consider aesthetics, price, materials, etc., but more importantly, practicality. After all, service groups have special requirements in many aspects. What factors should be considered in the installation of barrier-free handrails?
The advantages of the new polymer barrier-free handrail design:
1. The floating point non-slip design is adopted, making the grip safer and more comfortable.
2. It has the advantages of antistatic, no dust absorption, easy cleaning, wear resistance, water resistance, acid and alkali resistance, etc.
3. High-quality environmentally friendly materials, recyclable.
4. The surface antibacterial is much better than stainless steel and other metal materials.
5. Good impact resistance.
6. Excellent weather resistance, can be used for a long time in the range of -40c to 150c.
7. Good aging resistance, very low degree of aging after 20-30 years of use.
8. Self-extinguishing material with high melting point and no combustion support.
Anti-skid handrails are a must. The elderly and disabled are afraid of falling, which is very dangerous. The anti-skid design of barrier-free handrails is reflected in the particles on the surface. These particles are helpful for anti-skid and improve safety. In addition, it is anti-virus, because barrier-free handrails will also be installed in the bathroom. For environmental reasons, the material itself needs to have a certain resistance to germs. There are also requirements for materials that need to be environmentally friendly, which is conducive to recycling. It is worth noting that the nylon material can effectively antistatic, the advantage of this is that it does not vacuum, and it is more convenient to clean.
