The 38 mm Sweet Spot: A Safer, Cleaner Handrail Patients Actually Want to Hold (Model XY 38) –Shining Building Materials

38 mm Medical Handrail

Why 38 mm feels “just right” in the hand
A 38 mm (≈1.50″) round grip sits squarely in the widely used accessibility range for graspable handrails, making it easier for patients, visitors, and staff to hold with confidence.

Wipe-clean surface for busy corridors
The PVC cover is smooth and non-porous, so routine wipe-downs are straightforward—ideal for facilities that need fast, regular cleaning of high-touch surfaces.

Built to last: aluminum inside, problems outside
The XY 38 uses an aluminum inner core that resists rusting, helping your rails stand up to real-world use without the red stains or flaking you see on steel.

Tough on bumps, kind to walls
Hospital-grade rails commonly pair a durable vinyl/PVC cover with a continuous aluminum retainer—an impact-resistant construction that protects walls and keeps corridors looking sharp. Longer standard lengths also help minimize seams for a cleaner look.

Color that guides—not just decor
Need color-coding for floors, wings, or zones? Consistent color use—even on railings—can support wayfinding schemes and reduce confusion in complex facilities. We can match your Pantone for a seamless fit.

Support where it matters
Handrails do more than finish a corridor—they assist ambulation and are a staple in environmental measures that support safer movement.
