Accessible Elegance: Railing Systems + ADA Compliance
Livers Bronze is one of the last remaining U.S.-based handrailing manufacturers and has been in business since 1946. Every aspect of design, manufacturing, and testing is performed in the Midwest by skilled craftsmen, most of whom have been with Livers for decades. Livers Bronze offers the widest array of designs on the market, from traditional to modern, with every style in-between. Livers Bronze handrailings are the systems of choice for architects who want to leave their mark on museums, libraries, offices, and theaters with the help of decorative and functional, glass and metal handrails.
Handrails and guardrails are a safety feature that we easily take for granted as common fixture of the environment where stairs and balconies are a feature, aiding us in our coming and going. In this presentation, we discuss how handrails and guardrails can meet safety, sustainability, aesthetic, and ADA requirements and help protect building occupants. In addition, we describe how handrails and guardrails can contribute to LEED projects.
