WHITE ROSE SHOPPING CENTRE

THE DETAILS:

Client: Landsec

Contractor: AE Yates Ltd

Location: Leeds

Duration: 6 weeks

Value: £100k

THE BRIEF:

Our specific brief for this six-week project was to design, fabricate, finish and install architectural handrails to a new DDA (Disability Discrimination Act) walkway for the White Rose Shopping Centre in Leeds.

 

THE CHALLENGE:

The main challenge we faced was that the handrail had to meet structural load regulations, and that people were able to use the walkway safely and night time.

 

THE SOLUTION:

We approached a market leader Q Rail who specialise in proprietary handrails and provided our client with a product that incorporated a designed for a handrail with built in lights.

Features included:

  • Aluminium or aluminium with stainless steel effect
  • Infill glass thickness: 15 – 21.52 mm
  • LED strips for warm white light, cold white light or coloured light
  • High-grade plastic profiles that cover the LED strips to prevent dazzle
  • Adapter system that can turn a standard cap rail into a lighted handrail – combinable with nearly every Q-railing handrail bracket
