Permanent freestanding handrails for both retrofit and new build. Easyguard is non-penetrative (freestanding) alleviating the need for weatherproofing around costs and eliminating the risk of future leaks associated with penetrative systems, and also weatherproofing costs. Easyguard is flatfooted and slides easily underneath rooftop obstructions therefore providing minimal trip hazard.

Easyguard is galvanised to BS/EN 1461, and is also available powder coated, again over galvanised steel, to ensure the longevity of the system and it's coating. Easyguard's base plates are fitted with bonded ribbed rubber mats, which include an EPDM foam infill. The foam infill reduces heat transference to the roof membrane therefore reducing membrane degradation. Easyguard is adjustable by up to 250mm, and is levelled to the line of the building and against the falls of the roof improving the aesthetics from ground level.

Easyguard (non-penetrative system) is designed to BS/EN/SR 15 1988, and compliant to BS6180 for maintenance use, BS6399 Part 2. Easyguard is ideal for perimeter hand railing or for designation of access ways (escape routes etc). New asphalt roofs may require tiles beneath base assemblies to prevent the system from sinking, with advice sought from your asphalt manufacturer.

Heavier duty rails can be designed to meet most loads, and comply with BS 6180. Fixed rails to both vertical and horizontal faces of parapet walls or up stands for applications where a Permanent Free Standing Handrail will not suffice.
