"New build and refurbishment developments are now designed with the finer points of the DDA in mind and the Spectrum balustrade on this project is an excellent example of how the DDA's principles can be put into effective practice".

Available in stainless steel or nylon coated aluminium in a variety of solid or metallic colours, Spectrum's components are manufactured off site and installed using an internal connection system that requires no welding for assembly.
