Airports of are often the first places we see new trends in modernity, and handrailing systems are no exception. Styles have changed with handrail panels becoming more transparent to create the illusion of space, and giving a more modern feel to these aging pieces of infrastructure. Let the light in with a no-post design and glass railing system that offer great sight lines to maximize light flow for a brighter more appealing environment.

Airport Handrailing Systems

The latest trends are leaning more toward minimalist styling that include stainless steel and aluminum railings with glass panels. We are also seeing architects incorporate lit handrails into these systems to also provide pathway lighting.  The reason is simple: These are cost-effective measures that provide safety and are aesthetically pleasing to look at. Glass is a natural aesthetic with stainless steel and this trend is catching on. Some airports that heavily feature this look are Hartsfield Jackson Airport, Detroit Metropolitan Airport, Niagara International Airport and San Diego International Airport. Hartsfield Jackson Airport alone will see 100 million passengers this year. Handrail systems need to be tough to absorb the punishment of 100 million passengers.
