Bump Rail

We understand the dilemma health and aged care developers, architects and interior designers have in striving to create a welcoming, homely and less clinical interior, so Intrim created a range of natural timber and bump rail, crash rail and wall protection to help achieve the goal of creating something beautiful. 

Our bump rail and wall protection systems are beautiful, functional and ready for installation upon delivery to the site. We have created a unique secret fixing system that speeds up installation and conceals fixing to the wall. Easy to maintain and resilient to impact for beds and other traffic. 

Intrim’s crash rail is compatible with our Intrim® IHR10 Handrail System which can be used as a dual rail with both a mid and base rail for wall protection only.

These handrails are designed to be fixed using a bracket that runs continuously along the full length of the handrail, without leaving a gap, to reduce ligature risk. The rounded handrail top provides comfortable and substantial support and safety for users, and the clear-coated option is hygienic and easy to clean. 

The use of timber enhances the look of its surrounding environment and doubles as wall protection from traffic and wheeled beds. 

Intrim® IHR39 is available in 145mm wide, 44mm thick at the top, 55mm thick at the wall mount and has a wall projection of 91mm. Crafted in Clear Precoated Vic Ash and raw Vic Ash timber. The clear coat provides antimicrobial protection as well as helps save additional time required on-site for painting and drying.
