Railings and handrails

Railing for the garden – assembly without welding

Guardrails and handrails are always needed in the garden. Plant troughs can also be provided with railings in the terrace and balcony area for enclosure. In case of fall heights above 1.0 m, DIN 18065 (stairs and railings) and the State Building Code (LBO) require the installation of a guardrail. This also applies to raised beds from a height of 90 cm which serve as fall protection.

For many years we have been supplying pluggable stainless steel railing elements with round posts, system BUNIA, which can be easily and uncomplicatedly installed in the private sector – mostly without welding. The LAVAL system has been developed for the public sector and the associated higher requirements for stability and rigidity. Typical surfaces of the posts are corten steel or stainless steel. In all cases, the handrail is made of polished stainless steel.

Railing BUNIA – with posts made of stainless steel

The stainless steel railing type BUNIA is designed for use in private gardens. Both the handrail and the posts are constructed from Rotex-ground round material with a diameter of ø40 mm. This makes the railing look very elegant. The standard height of the handrail is 90 cm.

BUNIA can be supplemented with various elements such as crossbars or perforated sheet and glass infill panels to create an individually matching railing and thus also serve as a privacy screen, for example on balconies. When mounting e.g. on TERRESTA planters, the fall protection can be elegantly detached.

The round posts are screwed to a stable base. The distance between the posts should be approx. 1.0 m to max. 1.2 m so that stability does not get affected. A big bonus of this system: all elements are plug-in. Therefore the assembly is possible for everyone – without welding.

Railing LAVAL– with flat posts made of stainless steel and handrail made of round material

The LAVAL railing system was specially developed for the public sector, where higher requirements apply than in private gardening. Each railing is individually constructed and designed, as different requirements exist depending on the installation situation. The standard height of the railing is 90 cm but it can also be designed higher. The post spacing should be a maximum of 1.3 m.

As with BUNIA, the handrail is made of stainless steel round posts but the diameter of LAVAL is ø48 mm. The flat posts can also be made of stainless steel but also of Corten steel or colour-coated stainless steel. The dimensions of the flat posts depend on the static requirements: In the private balcony area, the cross-section of the two flat posts can be about 50 mm x 6 mm each, in the public area up to more than 50 mm x 10 mm. Please ask here for the dimensions suitable for you!

All the elements and also the ball joints are for plugging and screwing so the assembly can be done without welding in most cases.

Advice: If you decide to use LAVAL with crossbars in public areas, we recommend moving the handrail slightly forward to make it more difficult for children to climb over.

Special element with railing

Here, a bridge element was secured against falling with the LAVAL railing. The stainless steel round handrail is modelled on the curve of the Corten steel bridge arch and thus has a very elegant appearance. The posts are bolted to the bridge arch with front attachment.
