Kee Klamp Fittings Prove Up To The Task
Improved access has taken on a whole new look for a local authority community centre in West Wales, thanks to fittings from the best selling Kee Klamp range.
"The 500 Series fittings enabled us to design and assemble a safe and strong solution quickly and easily which meets the Building Regulations requirements and complies with the DDA specification".
"It looks great too." The Kee Klamp 500 Series is designed to give a smooth handrail with size 7 tube (outside diameter 42.4mm).
It comprises a total of sixteen components and is supplied with versatility, ease and speed of installation in mind.
All components can be powder coated in a choice of RAL colours to meet the visibility and "not cold to the touch" requirements of the DDA.
At Whittington Park, they are finished in white which gives an attractive appearance.
Ideal for use in creating new structures, the range can also be used as a retrofit solution, because it includes an offset component 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 components from the established Kee Klamp range to create a complete, cost-effective answer to DDA requirements.
As well as the DDA 500 Series of handrail components, the company also provides tubular solutions for roof edge protection with its popular KeeGuard system, and for interior or exterior balustrading applications with its Keenect system.
