The 8 reasons that make Intrim ConnectaRail Handrail system the ideal choice for your next project.
The Intrim ConnectaRail is a unique and time-efficient system that is suitable for a wide range of applications including 9C compliant aged care facilities, hospitals, medical clinics, and some commercial projects. It 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. The Connecta Rail is supplied with Intrim’s ready-to-install, Anti Microbial clear pre-coated system which requires three coats of clear lacquer sanded between each coat. This not only saves wet trade time but offers an antimicrobial coating in facilities where bacteria and health are paramount. Very few companies coat it like us and ease of install of grub grooves and process to install is a lot quicker than other products on the market. This system is also able to protect walls from beds and traffic, doubling as a wall protection. If the product was to get damaged, we can offer touch ups or recoats. We use a product called cabothane to do any touch ups.
As the ConnectaRail system is modular, this section will walk you through selecting the handrail sizes, and explain what each component is, and how many you require.
The Intrim Connecta Rail System uses round timber handrails also known as a dowel handrail. You have the choice of
The handrail comes in mixed random lengths.
Sizing and contemporary colour variations of the ConnectaRail vary depending upon both the form and function set by the build in conjunction with a projects unique interior styling objective.
Aged Care: ConnectaRail40 is the most popular size with aged care facilities. Contemporary stains used on durable Victorian Ash timber, combined with modern powder coated componentry, Intrim ConnectaRail handrail systems achieve a welcoming style to suit any interior design brief.
Hospital/Health: ConnectaRail40 is popular with hospitals. Intrim use antimicrobial coating in combination with Victorian Ash to cater with the hardwearing requirements for the Health Care environment. Hospital spaces tend to favour salutogenesis and biophilic design which support health and wellbeing. Timber being a natural material, aids in achieving such interior design appeal with more traditional and simple styles working perfectly in a functioning space.
Commercial: ConnectaRail40 is the most popular size for apartments, hotels, offices, schools etc. who tend to favour a more transparent timber finish with traditional stainless steel componentry for a simple and clean look that fits in with most styles.
The Intrim ConnectaRail System is very easy to install due to the modular stainless-steel components. When planning your ConnectaRail system, you will need to determine the number of each of the stainless components to order. This section explains the options for these parts.
There are 2 styles of handrail brackets that suit both 40mm dowel rail of ConnectaRail40 & 50mm dowel rail of ConnectaRail50 systems.
and
The difference between these 2 options are the HB02CS hand bracket has a curved saddle which sits on the round rail perfectly and will screw in. While the HB03S is threaded into the rail, which is already predrilled with the SSDJK40-50C drilling jig, that is available to purchase with this product and is then wound in. Both brackets have a concealed Anti Microbial Hygiene Plugs (PL01) covering the screws, which provides a clean stainless-steel and hygenic finish ideal for hospitals and health applications. Other advantages are in aged care and hospitals Phillip head screws are bacterial attractors, so this covers them and helps on an antibacterial level.
There are 2 sizes of the stainless steel ConnectaRail end caps
There are 2 sizes of the stainless steel ConnectaRail Stainless Steel Bend / Return
Endcaps or bends are another component of the ConnectaRail System which are used to go around corners or end of rail return to wall. The bend is more popular to the endcap as endcaps can potentially hook onto things and be a hazard. If returning the bend to the wall, a 2 part Epoxy Adhesive is required. These are available to order, and further information on how to install can be found in our installation guide here
There are 2 sizes of the stainless steel Connecta Rail unibends
A Unibend has a knuckle in the middle and can be bent to anything greater than 90 degrees and can be suited to whatever bend once installed. You simply tighten the bolt and lock it into place. With bends we can pre powder coat it to different colours to change the look and ascetic. Keep in mind there are some limitations on quantities of these powder coated brackets.
There are 2 sizes of the straight joiner.
The straight joiner is used in situations where you have longer rungs of rail. There is a limit to the length of timber we can supply that ranges between 1.5-4.5 metres so this can be used as a joining position and can be matched with bends and endcaps. In terms of the rail, it is AS1428 1-2009 compliant which is the standard handrail and ramp code in Australia. When planning your installation and material requirements as per our installation specifications you must be aware of the spacing between brackets as there needs to be a 900mm spacing max for 40mm dowels and 1200mm max for 50mm dowel handrails.
FJ01 – Allow 2 for each bend / joiner and 1 for the end cap.
