FABRICATED HANDRAILS DUBLIN, WALL FIX & GROUND FIX
Just like our other service options, DGR offers a vast selection of elegant handrails for our customers to choose from. We fabricate two types of handrails: Wall Fix and Ground Fix. This vast selection again ranges from standard designs that we create in-house, to bespoke designs manufactured for customers who have a specific thought or idea of what they want. At Dublin Gates and Railings we pride ourselves on being able to produce whatever request our clients challenge us with.
There are three different types of finishes that we offer for your structure: Hot Dip Galvanized, Matte Black Painted Finishing, and Powder Coated.
Hot Dip Galvanising ensures that your handrails will be come with a protective coating, reaching the highest industry standards. It ensure that your structure will be without rust for at least fifty years. It should however be noted that hot tip galvanised iron works possess a striking silver/grey exterior, which, if not treated over time (i.e. painted), will begin to weather in the long run.

DGR’s galvanised handrails sometimes adopt a mildly uneven texture as a result of the bespoke fabrication and linishing process that our team of experienced experts carry out. The aforementioned linishing process ensures that any zinc remnants or particles that are leftover from the galvanising procedure, are smoothened out, leaving a more even finish. This process in no way takes away from protective layer produced from the galvanization process.
This is something to reflect upon if you are requesting a solely galvanised handrailing which you do not intend to be painted, or paint yourself. If it is your choice to give the handrail a black finish, it is advisable to choose to coat the structure with a paint that is designed for outside metal surfaces. Other powder coating colours can be made available. Please speak with a member of our team if this is something that may be of interest to you.
In DGR’s humble opinion, to achive the optimum quality in finish, hot tip galvinisations followed by powder coating is the way to go. This will provide an almost everlasting coat which will not need to be maintained, or at least will require next to no maintenance.
Another option available to our customers, is the Matte Black Painted Handrails. This option involves the metal being sprayed with a height quality primer paint, which provides a base coat, allowing our customer apply the finish using paint designed for outdoor metal surfaces. Customers should be aware that the primer in itself is not weatherproof, so another layer of specialised paint will have to be applied before erecting the structure outdoors, if indeed the handrail is intended to be fixed as an exterior structure.
Please refer to our recommendation above for what finish to choose. A painted finish will give a good result, but unless metal is galvanized, the metal will inevitably proceed to show signs of rust over the years. This is a natural reaction when weather and steel are exposed to one another for a long duration of time.
