Precision engineering is coupled with elegant styling and design flexibility within the new range of fittings for railings and balustrading now available from D R Services.

The specialist supplier of frameless glazing systems and architectural ironmongery can now offer customers outstanding product quality and practicality through its partnership with a European-based manufacturer.

DRS is expecting demand for the high performance handrail system to be high amongst architects and interior designers working in the retail and leisure as well as commercial sectors.

The range is distinguished by the very wide component choice available, enabling specifiers to reflect the minimalist appeal of the patch fittings employed in frameless glazing.

It will even permit them to deal with unusual logistical constraints.

The fittings include handrail brackets able to accept tube or solid rails with models offering rotational adjustment and different wall mountings, as well as baluster brackets displaying different footprints.

Director of D R Services, Julie Jarvis, comments: "Stocking this new range means that we can now offer an aesthetic to complement our frameless glass fittings for doors that are being used by architects in so many different types of project at the moment.

"This is particularly relevant due to the implementation of the Disability Discrimination Act.

Within shops for example, we will be able to link through the design from the entrances, taking it up the staircases between floors, or alongside the ramps being installed between different levels.

Depending on the situation and the budget, balusters can be infilled with simple stainless steel tube, yacht wires or glazed infill panels.

D R Services really does offer a kit form method of constructing a balustrade".

Full design support for any type of project and technical brochures are available from D R Services.
