Maintenance and Care Guidelines for Pedestrian and Bridge Handrails & Parapets

Although handrails are designed for durability and minimal maintenance, regular care ensures a longer lifespan and maintains their appearance. Specific maintenance needs may vary depending on the material, but routine inspections, cleaning, and addressing minor wear promptly will keep handrails safe and visually appealing over time.

  • Stainless Steel Handrails and Parapets: Regular cleaning with a mild detergent helps maintain the stainless steel’s sheen. For handrails in high-exposure areas, periodic polishing may be necessary.
  • Aluminum Handrails and Parapets: Lightweight and corrosion-resistant, aluminum handrails require little more than occasional cleaning with soap and water. If anodized or powder-coated, they resist environmental damage, making them ideal for public walkways and bridges.
  • Glass Handrails and Parapets: Glass railings need to be cleaned regularly to maintain their clarity and appearance. A glass cleaner or a solution of vinegar and water can be used to remove smudges and dirt. The supporting framework, whether stainless steel or aluminum, should be cleaned periodically to prevent grime buildup.
  • Galvanized Steel Handrails and Parapets: Although highly resistant to rust, galvanized steel handrails should be inspected annually for any signs of wear or damage. Cleaning with a soft brush and mild detergent is usually sufficient to remove debris. Any exposed steel should be treated immediately to prevent corrosion.
  • Composite and Wood Handrails and Parapets: Composite materials and treated wood require occasional cleaning to remove dirt, especially in outdoor environments. In humid or wet conditions, it is important to inspect for signs of wear or damage and apply protective coatings if necessary to prolong the life of the handrails.
