Useful Places To Install Easirail Handrails

Many people automatically presume that Easirail Handrails are only used to support people when navigating steps at front doors. However, they have many more applications and can help improve access in a variety of areas around the home.

Known for their strength, durability, and reliable grip, Easirail Handrails provide additional reassurance for people who may find certain areas of their property more challenging to navigate.

Every home is different, which means the best handrail solution will vary from property to property. Thanks to the modular design of Easirail, different components can be combined to create a solution that suits the individual requirements of each installation.

Most Useful Places

There are many different locations where Easirail Handrails can be installed. Below are some of the most common examples where adding a handrail can make everyday movement around your home safer and easier.

1. The Front or Back Door

The entrance to your home is one of the most common places for a handrail installation. As one of the most frequently used access points, having something secure to hold onto can make entering and leaving your property much easier.

This is particularly useful where steps are present, as changes in height can become more difficult to navigate for people with reduced mobility or balance concerns. In our store we have handrail kits that can adapt to a range of gradients and measurements.

Benefits:

• • Extra support when entering and leaving your home.
• • Makes navigating steps easier.
• • Provides reassurance when using your entrance.
• • Suitable for single steps or larger sets of steps.
  
  

2. Along Your Wall

A common misconception about Easirail is that it always needs to be installed into the ground. However, thanks to its modular design, it can also be securely fixed to walls using specially designed brackets and connectors.

This makes it a great option for areas where space is limited, while still providing a comfortable grip with enough room between the wall and the rail.

Benefits:

• • Ideal for narrow pathways or areas with limited space.
• • Provides support without requiring floor-mounted posts.
• • Creates a discreet solution that works alongside existing structures.
• • Suitable for both indoor and outdoor applications.
  
  

3. Sloped Driveways

Sloped driveways are another popular location for Easirail installations. The gradient of a driveway can make walking more challenging, especially when surfaces become wet, icy, or slippery during colder months.

A handrail alongside a slope provides a secure point of support, helping users move more comfortably when accessing their property. With its ‘not cold to touch’ features, it means that you will get a secure and comfortable grip, even in the colder months.

Benefits:

• • Offers support when walking up or down slopes.
• • Helps maintain stability on uneven gradients.
• • Provides reassurance during poor weather conditions.
• • Makes everyday tasks such as taking bins out or carrying shopping easier.
  
  

4. Inside Your Home

Easirail is suitable for both indoor and outdoor use, making it a practical option for areas inside the home where extra support may be beneficial.

Internal steps, small level changes, or sloped areas can become obstacles over time. Installing a handrail provides a simple way to make these areas easier to navigate without requiring major alterations.

Benefits:

• • Provides stability when using internal steps or slopes.
• • Helps make movement between rooms easier.
• • Can support people recovering from injury or changes in mobility.
• • Offers a practical addition without changing the layout of your home.
  
  

5. Securing a Raised Area

Raised edges, retaining walls, or elevated walkways can create potential hazards if there is no clear boundary around the area. Installing Easirail around the perimeter helps define the space while providing a secure barrier.

In the example below, Easirail has been installed around a raised area to create a safer environment while maintaining a neat and practical finish.

Benefits:

• • Creates a clear boundary around raised areas.
• • Helps prevent accidental access to hazardous edges.
• • Adds security around elevated spaces.
  
  

6. As a Grab Rail

Easirail can also be adapted to work as a grab rail, providing a secure point of support where additional stability is needed. These shorter sections of handrail are ideal for areas where a user may need a quick helping hand, such as beside entrances, small steps, or changes in level around the home.

Unlike traditional grab rails, Easirail offers the same strong, durable construction while being customisable to suit the location where it is required.

Benefits:

• • Provides a secure grip in key areas around the home.
• • Useful for navigating small steps or changes in level.
• • Can be positioned exactly where support is needed.
• • Offers a durable solution suitable for indoor and outdoor use.

Easirail Handrails can be used in many different areas around the home, from entrances and sloped driveways to internal steps and raised areas. Their versatility makes them a practical option for providing support wherever it is needed.

With a modular design that can be adapted to suit different spaces and requirements, Easirail can help make everyday movement around your home safer, easier, and more comfortable.
