Fibreglass Modular Handrail System
Our modular FRP (Fibre Reinforced Polymer) handrail system, also commonly known as fibreglass handrails, is suitable for stairways, platforms, walkways, pedestrian barriers, and guarding around machinery in both commercial and industrial applications. They are long-lasting and durable, with a 2:1 safety factor, ensuring robust performance and reliability. The handrails require low maintenance and have been UV tested to ensure their mechanical properties remain intact without degradation. Additionally, they are corrosion and chemical-resistant, eliminating the need for surface protection and providing a reliable, hassle-free solution.

Specifications
Our FRP modular handrail system complies with the standards AS 1657:2018 and NZS/AS 1657:1992
UV-Guard™ Coating System
Outdoor environments are brutal on industrial structures. UV rays, heat, humidity, and salt air attack coatings, leading to fading, surface breakdown, and reduced service life.
Our UV-Guard™ Coating System is engineered to deliver long-lasting performance, even in the most demanding conditions, by combining superior adhesion, corrosion resistance, and unmatched UV colour stability.
- P60 Sealer – Ultimate Adhesion Foundation
- Polyurethane adhesion promoter for solvent-based basecoats and 2K topcoats.
- Ensures maximum bond strength to FRP, steel, aluminium, and coated surfaces.
- VOC-compliant and ideal for both OEM and refurbished structures.
- Provides a smooth, ready-to-coat surface that locks in long-term performance.
- Carboguard® 635 Primer – Heavy-Duty Corrosion Defence
- Immersion-grade epoxy with outstanding corrosion resistance.
- Excellent adhesion to steel, FRP, and prepared substrates.
- Moisture-tolerant during application, cures even in damp conditions.
- Meets IMO ballast tank performance standards for marine-grade protection.
- Valspar TB510 Topcoat – Gloss & UV Mastery
- High-gloss polyurethane finish with special pigments for enhanced UV and corrosion protection.
- Maintains vibrant colour and gloss under extreme UV exposure.
- Flexible yet durable, resisting cracking, chalking, and fading.
- Suitable for force-dry or air-dry applications for fast turnaround.
Independent accelerated weathering tests show the UV-Guard™ system maintains its “like-new” appearance far longer than standard coatings.
- Minimal Delta E colour shift — changes are virtually invisible to the human eye after thousands of hours of exposure.
- Superior gloss retention, ensuring safety colours remain highly visible.
- FRP safety barriers, handrails, and grating systems
- Marine and coastal structures
- Industrial machinery and equipment housings
- Structural steel supports and infrastructure elements
- Extended Service Life – Reduced maintenance and repainting costs.
- Safety Compliance – High-visibility finishes meet industry standards.
- Weatherproof Investment – Protects against UV, corrosion, and moisture.
