ADA and Code Compliance
Commercial handrails in Texas must meet ADA standards and the requirements of the International Building Code as adopted by the State of Texas: Height: 34 to 38 inches above the stair nosing or ramp surface. Diameter: Circular cross-section between 1.25 and 2 inches, or non-circular with a perimeter between 4 and 6.25 inches.Clearance: Minimum 1.5 inches between the handrail and the wall. Extensions: At least 12 inches beyond the top riser and one tread depth beyond the bottom riser. Load capacity: Must withstand 200 pounds of force in any direction. We build to these standards on every commercial job and design our installations to pass inspection cleanly on the first visit.

Interior and exterior handrails for lobbies, stairwells, parking garages, and ramps. We work with property management companies and building owners across the Dallas, Richardson, and Plano corridors.

Medical Facilities —
Wall-mounted and freestanding handrails for corridors, waiting areas, and patient care spaces.

Materials
Most commercial handrails are fabricated from steel or aluminum. Steel is the standard for heavy-duty applications — strong, cost-effective, and available in any finish color.Aluminum is preferred for high-moisture environments like pool areas, covered walkways, and exterior applications where corrosion resistance is a priority. All commercial installations are finished with commercial-grade powder coating or hotdip galvanizing.
