Request a Site Visit for Handrail Measurement in Tel Aviv

t354-36

A handrail site visit is an on-site measurement and inspection carried out by our team before any handrail is manufactured. We check the exact length, height, wall or floor fixings and the surrounding conditions, then prepare a drawing and written specification for your approval. This step is what makes a custom handrail fit correctly the first time.

Why a Site Visit Comes Before Manufacturing

Handrails are made to measure, and a few centimeters of error can mean a railing that does not sit flush, a bracket that misses its anchor point or a run that is too short at the landing. Because we manufacture in our factory at 37 Rival Street, every piece must be correct before it leaves the workshop. A site visit lets us see the real conditions instead of relying on estimates or rough sketches sent by message.

During the visit we confirm dimensions, check that the structure can take the fixings, and discuss the look you want so the finished railing suits the building.

What We Measure On Site

Our technician records every dimension needed to draw the handrail accurately. This usually includes:

Total run length of each flight or balcony edge
Height of the rail from the tread nosing or floor
Wall material and thickness where brackets will be fixed
Position of posts, newel points and corners
Any obstacles such as window frames, pipes or light fittings

We also note the orientation of the stairs and how the railing meets the adjoining wall or glass.

How to Prepare for the Visit

You do not need to prepare drawings, but a little preparation saves time. Clear access to the stairs or balcony so the technician can measure freely. If you have photos of the area, send them through our inquiry form before the visit so we can plan the approach.

It also helps to decide roughly which style you prefer, whether a simple round tube, a flat profile or a glass infill. Bring any architect or interior designer plans if the building is under renovation.

From Measurement to Approved Drawing

After the visit we prepare a drawing and a written specification that describe the handrail, its finish and how it will be fixed. You review these documents and confirm them before production starts. Any change you request at this stage is far easier and cheaper to handle than after manufacturing.

Finishing options such as hot-dip galvanizing or powder coating are agreed at this point, so the final colour and protection are settled in advance.

Safety Considerations

A handrail must be strong, stable and comfortable to grip. Israeli railing requirements are set out in the standard SI 1142, and we take it into account when we design each railing. We do not quote exact values in this page, because the correct heights, loads and spacings depend on your building.

During the site visit we check the condition of the substrate, because a railing is only as safe as the surface it is fixed to. Where needed, we will recommend that the exact values are confirmed with your engineer.

Scheduling Your Visit

Request a site visit by sending us a short description of the building, the location of the stairs or balcony and a few photos. Our team will reply to arrange a suitable time. The visit itself is usually straightforward, and you will receive the drawing and specification afterwards for review.

Whether you are a private homeowner, a building committee, a contractor or an architect, we can work with you directly from the first contact to installation.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to be present during the handrail site visit?

It is helpful if you or a representative can be present so the technician can ask about your preferences. Access to the stairs or balcony is essential for accurate measurement.

How long does a handrail site visit take?

The length of the visit depends on the size and number of railings to be measured. Our technician will give you an estimate when we arrange the appointment.

Can I send photos instead of having a site visit?

Photos help us plan, but they cannot replace on-site measurement. Accurate dimensions are needed to produce a handrail that fits correctly.

Is there any obligation after the site visit?

No. You receive the drawing and written specification for review, and production only starts once you have approved them.

Common mistakes to avoid

Ordering a handrail from rough measurements taken by eye or from photos alone often leads to fitting problems. Skipping the approval of the drawing is another common error that can lead to costly changes later.

Our recommendation

Measure the total run and the height at several points, and note any corners or obstacles before your visit. Having this information ready helps the technician work efficiently and reduces the need for revisions.

Summary

A handrail site visit lets our team measure and inspect your stairs or balcony so the custom railing is made correctly the first time. You approve the drawing before manufacturing begins.
