What are the benefits of using colored and coated safety products?
Superior non-slip surface. One misconception is that a knurled surface provides the best grip. For knurling to work effectively you have to have a strong enough grip for the skin on your hand to press into the valleys of the knurling. The clients that are most apt to need a grab bar may not have the hand strength to make it effective. Our polyamide surface coating acts like a set of brakes either wet or dry.
Option to include color. From a practical stand point we have introduced color so that you can create a contrast against the wall color so clients can visually locate the bars and seats. Color also gives your design team freedom to create unique and non-institutional environments.
No Oxidation. Every metal, even the finest quality stainless steel will oxidize over time. A once brilliant finish will fade. Our steel core coated surface remains fresh and attractive year after year of service.
Soft and warm. In reality the surface temperature of our coated grab bars is the same as any metallic grab bar. Physics actually plays a trick on the body and your perception of cold and warm. With metallic bars when your hand touches the surface the metal pulls the heat from your body and the perception is cold. Our polyamide surface does not conduct heat so when your hand touches the surface if reflects back the heat from your hand and your body perceived it to be warm.
No electrostatic charge. The furthest thing from your mind when specifying a grab bar or seat could be electrocution. Our 2.5 mm thick coated surface insulates the frame of the grab bar so regardless of how electricity might be introduced, through the wall or from an appliance in the bathroom the charge will not conduct through our safety equipment.
Installation. Our mounting flange is equipped with an 11 hole design. This is a small detail, but for the installer it gives them the flexibility to choose the mounting holes that are least invasive to the wall and find the wall stud for a secure and safe installation.
Team spirit. We are capable of manufacturing any color. Create one of a kind bathrooms for universities, schools or match company colors.
Our passion at Ponte Giulio is to provide products that make using the bathroom safe, but also create a beautiful environment that can be appreciated by all. |
