• Measure each section of wall in order to cut and prepare the lengths of handrail before installation.
3.1 MEASURING AND CUTTING ALUMINIUM AND PVC PROFILES TO LENGTH
• At each end of the handrail, allow a clearance of at least 30 mm between the end of the handrail (with its wall return) and the edge of the wall
or door frame. This clearance allows the wall return to be removed if it has to be replaced.
Based on the measurement of the wall after subtracting the necessary clearance of 30 mm on the side(s), use the table below to calculate the
cutting lengths of the aluminium and PVC profiles based on the various wall returns and internal / external angle pieces used:
Example of measuring a straight wall section:
