Why Are Handrails Important In The Home?

Even we're aware that handrails certainly aren't very interesting or exciting by any part, but that doesn't change the fact they're still really important and valuable to have in a home. They give us that extra bit of support when we need it, they're especially helpful for children, older adults and those who may be supporting an injury. Besides the most important safety aspect, handrails have a couple other important benefits, take a look at these:

1 - Safety That Makes Sense

It sounds obvious, but handrails really do leave a big impact. In fact, the lack of a handrail can actually double the chances of someone falling. An article by House Grail stated that 100,000 elderly people and 58,000 children are injured on stairs EVERY YEAR without a handrail. These numbers highlight how something as simple as a sturdy railing can make a life-changing difference in preventing serious injuries.

2 - Boosting Property Value the Simple Way

Safety is at upmost importance. And when it comes to buying a new home, buyers will look with safety and style in mind. A fitted handrail can add more value to a home than you realise. Some properties actually require a handrail to meet safety standards, by installing one yourself you know you're doing things properly.

3 - Built to Last, Easy to Care

You don't need to see the whole staircase to take the first step, especially when the handrail is built to last!
