Access to Llanelli County Court is now easier and safer for visitors thanks to fittings supplied by Reading-based tubular structure specialist Kee Klamp .

Helping to meet the requirements of the Disability Discrimination Act (DDA), fittings from the company's 500 Series have been used to construct a new handrailing structure at the main entrance to the courthouse building in West Wales.

Llanelli County Court sees numerous visitors passing through its doors everyday, therefore assuring safe and easy access for all visitors is a necessity.

Kee Klamp 500 Series fittings have helped create a new handrailing structure alongside stairways and ramps to the entrance of the building.

The 500 Series fittings are finished in a silver-grey RAL colour which gives an attractive appearance, benefits the sight-impaired Court visitor and is "not cold to the touch", as required by the DDA.

The new structure also fulfils Part M of the Building Regulations which recommends an outside diameter tube size for such structures of between 40mm-45mm.

The Kee Klamp 500 Series is specifically designed to give a smooth handrail with size 7 tube (outside diameter 42.4mm).

In meeting these requirements, the handrailing structure at the courthouse provides optimum safety, guidance and accessibility for all users.

Incorporating a total of twelve new fittings, the 500 Series is supplied with versatility, ease and speed of installation in mind.

Ideal for use in creating new structures, the range can also be used as a retrofit solution, because it includes a split fitting which allows a new handrail to be added onto an existing structure of appropriate size.

When and where required, the 500 Series can be easily augmented with fittings from the established Kee Klamp fittings range to create a complete, cost-effective answer to DDA requirements.

As well as its extensive fittings range, Kee Klamp also provides tubular solutions for roof edge protection with its popular KeeGuard and Kee Dome systems, and for interior or exterior balustrading applications with its Keenect and Kee Lite systems.

Kee Klamp is certified to BS EN ISO 9001 and is recognised as an Investor In People.
