Connecta Rail

Intrim Mouldings have been leading the way for over 23 years in creating beautiful timber handrails, brackets and wall protection systems that are just as sturdy, durable and cost-effective as they are stunning to look at. The Connecta Rail System is one of our offered systems.

Intrim have delivered solid timber handrails, stainless brackets and wall protection systems to projects large and small all over Australia, including Sydney, Brisbane, Adelaide, Melbourne, Perth and everywhere in between.

What is included in the Connecta Rail System?

The Intrim Connecta Rail System consists of a stylish blend of timber and stainless steel that creates a seriously eye-catching continuous rail system within interiors. This unique system is easy to install and provides a wide variety of benefits, saving you both time and money.

The Intrim Connecta Rail System is a continuous dowel handrail system that incorporates 40mm or 50mm diameter timber dowel handrail and stainless steel accessories. These include:

• Stainless steel 90 degree bends
• Stainless steel 45 degree bends
• End caps
• Handrail brackets

Our Intrim Connecta Rail Systems are professionally built by experienced craftsmen on our company site to ensure they can stand up to even the heaviest of general wear and tear, as well as remaining as architecturally beautiful as the first day they were installed.

The Connecta Rail System is unique, time-efficient, and suitable for a wide range of applications, including health projects, aged care facilities, retirement villages, shopping centres and stair rails.

The Connecta Rail System includes a variety of features:

• Manufactured from high-quality materials, Tasmanian Oak and Victorian Ash. We choose these materials due to their strength and durability, as well as their sustainable growth process and how they can be readily sourced within Australia (adding to the cost-effectiveness of the Connecta Rail System).
• Suitable for 9C compliant aged care facilities. The Connecta Rail System is the perfect option for use in aged care and health projects.
• Compliant with the Australian standard AS1428 1-2009.
• Supplied with our ready-to-install clear pre-coating, which not only saves wet trade time, but offers an antimicrobial coating in facilities where bacteria and health is paramount. We can also be supplied raw on request.
• Able to protect your walls from beds and traffic, doubling as a wall protection system.
• Easy to install due to the modular stainless steel components.
• Available in a range of beautiful timber stains, including teak, walnut, maple and black.
• Creates a warm, residential, friendly and non-clinical architectural feel.
• Reduces the dependency on staff and carers by offering a handrail system that increases aged care residents’ confidence and motivation to stay active and mobile.

FAQs

 1. Is the Connecta Rail suitable for 9C compliant aged care facilities? 
Yes. The Connecta Rail is perfect for use in aged care and health projects, and complies with Australian Standard AS1428.1-2009.

2. Is the Connecta Rail available in any other species of timber or only Tas Oak? 
We manufacture the Connecta Rail in either Tasmanian Oak or Victorian Ash due to their strength being a durable hardwood that is sustainably grown and readily sourced within Australia. This also makes it the most cost effective hardwood timber to use in projects.

3. Is the Connecta Rail system finished with a coating? 
Yes! We recommend you order your ConnectaRail with our ready to install clear pre-coating which saves significant time on site, reducing the cost and downtime of a wet trade on site.

4. Can you stain Connecta Rail?
We sure can. We offer four lovely colours to enhance the look of your interior.  Select from our beautiful range of Teak, Walnut, Maple and Black.

5. Do I need to use an Intrim timber Chair Rail to fix the handrail brackets or is fixing to plasterboard sufficient? 
Fixing to plasterboard is sufficient but we do recommend the use of an Intrim Chair Rail for added support. Noggins will have to be placed in the wall at correct height for bracket fixing prior to plasterboard. Find our full installation instructions here.
