HAND RAILINGS
Trugrid’s hand railings are made using our Pultruded Forms.
Pultrusion is a continuous moulding process whereby reinforcing fibers are saturated with a liquid polymer resin and then carefully formed and pulled through a heated die to form a part. Pultrusion results in straight constant cross section parts of virtually any shippable length.
