Ultimate Guide to Handrail and Balustrade Compliance

Backing you up with guaranteed compliance

Moddex have designed their own systems to make your handrail and balustrade choices more flexible, ergonomic, aesthetic and guaranteed, fit-for-purpose compliant. Every configuration has been considered. Every regulation covered. Every design challenge overcome. Every material. Every finish.

Moddex makes pre-engineered systems for non-residential infrastructure projects work like clockwork, with proprietary design and technology that is more reliable, faster to install and longer lasting than alternatives that are fabricated on site. And they support you all the way from design to ribbon-cutting.

Moddex have put together a guide to handrail and balustrade compliance, just for you. This guide provides helpful tips and invaluable information on handrail and balustrade requirements for your project.
