Christchurch-based Handrail Solutions Ltd is proud of its part in this transformation as a specialist in custom handrail and balustrade systems. The Handrail Solutions team has been busy this year crafting custom balustrades, handrails and other finishing details for One Centralʼs latest new neighbourhood called The Poplars, under construction alongside the Margaret Mahy Playground. Since starting out as a mobile handrail business more than 10 years ago, Handrail Solutions has grown to become an industry specialist in the design, manufacture and installation of custom handrail and balustrade systems. The companyʼs 11-strong team works out of dedicated fabrication and powder coating premises in Sydenham. “We pride ourselves on our ability to solve problems with fabrication,ˮ says Stuart Familton, who co-owns the business with Jeremy Pardoe. “Thatʼs become quite a rarity as a lot of others in our industry use basic panels that simply join together. Ours are custom made for each space and to look the best for that job. On the strength of our expertise, we have also become Spectrumʼs largest agent and distributor in New Zealand. “With our in-house capabilities, we also create vertical screens and louvre systems, fences and gates, panels and other architectural products. Our sister company Powdercoat Solutions – which has one of the biggest batch ovens in New Zealand – is based in the same building in Sydenham, giving us exceptional control over quality and lead times.ˮ At The Poplars, Handrail Solutions has been working alongside Fletcher Living and Herriot Melhuish OʼNeill Architects. Spectrumʼs Seamless range was selected for the aluminium balustrade system. With structural vertical fins, negating the need for posts, Seamless lives up to its name as a popular and distinctive balustrade choice. In previous projects, Handrail Solutions modified the balustrade design to include panels for added privacy. The team also made and installed all interior timber handrails, exterior powder coated stainless handrails, along with entry canopies, bin and bike storage doors, and stylish aluminium window boxes or shrouds. The Poplars is one of a number of ‘superlotʼ residential developments helping to regenerate and reshape the central city. At the start of this year, Handrail Solutions completed their work on another new inner city neighbourhood called Gloucester Green. “That was another massive job for us that spanned a couple of years. As with The Poplars, our team fabricated and installed all the balustrades, handrails and other complementary details.ˮ Handrail Solutionsʼ involvement with One Central goes back some years, including another earlier superlot development with Fletcher Living and Herriot Melhuish OʼNeill Architects, Carriage Quarter. “Itʼs pretty special for us to see the contribution weʼve made to the visual aesthetic of the city. Weʼre a small team punching above our weight. Weʼre proud of the work we do for all our clients, especially Fletcher Living, in achieving next level attention to detail, with finishes consistent in sets of balustrades and everything lined up correctly.ˮ
