The Details
Our step units have been designed with the end user, compliance and safety in mind.
Benefits
Modular step units provide an excellent alternative to traditional methods such as brick and flag which are frequently installed with industrial, cold handrails.
Fully adjustable and in a variety of configurations, this system allows for a quick and straightforward installation in any weather. Complete with warm to touch rails, the result is practical yet aesthetically pleasing.
Easiaccess offer a variety of fully adjustable step units in two tread depths, 300mm and 800mm. Step units can be fitted independently or together with a ramp installation. Whether it is for someone who simply needs the number of steps increasing, thereby reducing the stepping height or for someone using a walking frame and therefore in need of a deeper stepping platform; all options are available.
