ADA Railing

Features of ADA Handrailing

ADA-compliant handrailing is required on all new and remodeled commercial buildings in the United States. At Penn Fence, we provide ADA rail systems designed to create continuous handrails on stairs, ramps, or level walkways. Available in a variety of colors, our ADA railings meet the specifications necessary for your building to receive ADA compliance certification. Each system is designed for straightforward installation on-site, giving contractors and property owners both convenience and peace of mind.

Proper installation is just as important as the railing itself. ADA handrails must be installed to the correct specifications to ensure safety and compliance.

To meet ADA standards, handrails must:

• Be continuous and smooth, offering reliable support with no interruptions in grip.
• Be installed on both sides of stairs or ramps, with at least 36” of space between rails for wheelchair access.
• Be mounted at a height of 34” to 36”, ensuring accessibility for most users.
• Be secure in their fittings, without rotation or movement when grabbed.
• Have rounded ends or return into a wall, floor, or post for safety.
• Maintain a minimum of 1.5” clearance from the wall or supporting surface to provide adequate hand space.
