pRoblem:

The Power House was undergoing a renovation project to transform it into luxury apartments and a food hall. As part of the renovation, the developers needed to install handrails and guardrails throughout the premises to ensure safety and accessibility. However, they faced the challenge of finding handrails and guardrails that were easy to acquire, compatible with the building’s old architecture, and straightforward to install since their team had never installed handrails before.

solution:

Promenaid handrails and guardrails emerged as the ideal solution for The Power House community, providing simplicity, versatility, responsive customer service, and innovative options to meet their specific requirements. The developers were first impressed by a removable guardrail offered for the stage to allow patrons to access the area when performances were not taking place. Beyond design, the availability of detailed installation guides, videos, and documentation ensured that the developers had access to clear instructions and reference materials. This valuable online support empowered the developers to confidently install the handrails, even as first-time installers, reducing the likelihood of errors or delays. Even better, the handrails required zero lead time and were able to be assembled off-site when the weather did not cooperate on installation day.

THE WILTON COURT DEVELOPMENT

THE WILTON COURT

Sexy Black Handrails for Modern Single-Family Homes

When your buyers are the chic, sophisticated residents of Los Angeles, every detail counts. Wilton Court, a boutique single-family infill development in West Hollywood, wanted to meet the needs of a discriminating customer who considers every detail. When it came to the handrails, basic wouldn’t suffice. They had to be sleek, modern, and, most importantly, they had to convey luxury to the touch. The property developers, C&D Partners, chose Promenaid aluminum handrails in Satin Black because they had the right look, felt substantial, and could be on-site immediately.

pRoblem:

C&D Partners is a boutique developer with a focus on multi-family and small lot subdivision development projects in the Greater Los Angeles area. They take a strategic approach, seizing the opportunity to build urban infill amidst commercial spaces to capture the demand for housing stemming from rapid population growth. The challenge is how to maximize the size of the site to create single-family homes that are private, comfortable, and appealing to a design focused market.

The solution was to build upward, creating fourstory homes where the stairwell is a focal point and not an afterthought. When the time came to select handrails, the property was almost complete. The final challenge was finding an off-the-shelf handrail that looked and felt like custom.

solution:

Promenaid helped C&D Partners realize their vision for an exceptional property where every element inside the home had the look and feel of bespoke without the long lead time or the high price tag. It was also imperative that the handrails matched the sleek, modern vibe of the residence. Promenaid delivered a sexy

handrail system that became a centerpiece of the property. Even better, the handrails were easily installed by two untrained laborers and required zero lead time.

“We’re selling million-dollar-plus properties; everything we select has to feel like it. Promenaid handrails look custom and feel like money.”

pRoblem:

Steel Creek Developers are on a mission to reverse population loss and strengthen rural communities by developing multi-family mixed-use properties focused on the needs of the active adult and the sophisticated traveler. Their projects are often co-created with the municipalities that they serve. This brings complexity
to the process because these beautiful and dynamic properties are designed and constructed with a strict emphasis on efficiency and value. Every detail counts and there is no tolerance for waste.

The vision for the Souris project was to seamlessly integrate a 30 room hotel into an active adult-living complex. A balance needed to be struck between safety, community, privacy, residents, and guests. The labor shortage in construction means that jobs can be delayed by the lack of trades, adding expense to the developers’ bottom line. Steel Creek Development chose to use a modular building process to achieve maximum efficiency.

solution:

Promenaid brought innovation and efficiency to the project by providing a versatile modular handrail system that is always code-compliant. While the property was under construction, every material choice came under scrutiny and the handrails were no exception. Unsatisfied with the cost of custom options,

the team was determined to find a solution that delivered style, safety, and value. Promenaid hand railings shipped to the job site in 48 hours. and were easily and efficiently installed in 11 flights of stairs by two firs timers saving both money and time.

 

“I think Promenaid handrails are better than custom rails. They are beautiful, strong, and easy to install. We’re going to use them on all of our projects going forward.”

ACCESSIBLE HOMES OF FLORIDA

Retrofitting for Accessibility in 24 hours

Accessible Homes of Florida has provided retrofits for thousands of residents who need special care so they could remain in their homes. Each space is as different as each owner’s needs and circumstances, which made sourcing ADA code-compliant handrails a real challenge. Finding a versatile system that could accommodate

pRoblem:

Homeowners and their caretakers contact Accessible Homes of Florida because they want to remain in place but need some type of renovation to address a mobility challenge. What seems like a simple bathroom transformation comes with a host of issues and code-compliance standards that have to be met under a limited budget. It seems overwhelming yet Accessible Homes of Florida is able to renovate a bathroom in a single day for every client by installing a walk-in-shower that is built off-site and installed in 24 hours.

Single-family residential spaces aren’t the only places with this problem. Private-pay senior living facilities are also challenged to meet the needs of their residents but don’t want their units to look institutional. In order to meet market demands, they must embrace the latest design trends, remain code compliant, and flip each unit as quickly as possible. Grab bars and handrails should look like they were made for a high-end boutique hotel, not a hospital.

solution:

Promenaid’s handrail system is designed to address the mobility needs that seniors often require. By designing a system that considers all of the needs of those using the system and those who install it, they truly understand that the real service they provide is making people feel safe and comfortable at home. Promenaid handrails and grab bars arrive cut to any size needed – to the inch – or can be easily trimmed on the jobsite, can be installed in 15 minutes, look beautiful, and have zero lead times. For Accessible Homes of Florida, it’s mission accomplished.

“For us, it’s all about the care of the people. No one wants their home to look institutional because it puts a spotlight on their challenges. Promenaid handrails are beautiful and ordering them is as easy as installing them. We’ve never seen anything like it.”

MLK Modular Mixed Use Project

MLK MODULAR MIXED USE PROJECT

Modular Mixed-Use Residential Needed Brackets That Move to Match the Studs

The design-build process can save both time and money but requires ingenuity and flexibility to be successful. The MLK, a mixed-use multifamily project in Austin, Texas was no exception. When the modular walls arrived without proper blocking, the challenge became to find a handrail system with brackets that could be moved to match the placement of the studs but still align with the design vision.

pRoblem:

KRDB is a design-build group that consistently tests and pushes the materials and methods of how they build. Every project must balance rigorous material scrutiny, aesthetics, lead times, and labor costs. KRDB originally specifed a handrail system to match the clean, sleek style of the build. They were unwilling to compromise on looks or ease of installation just
because the site was difcult. Handrails can be a challenge to install in the best of circumstances.

When the specifed product arrived, it was clear that it wouldn’t work for several reasons. The system wasn’t flexible enough to accommodate the modular walls that did not have the proper blocking to support it. But that wasn’t the only issue. The handrail system was complicated and required specialized labor. The original spec was thrown out and the search began to find a truly flexible solution with superior quality.

This project called for a handrail system that was beautiful, flexible, had zero lead-time, and came with exceptional customer service to ensure they had the right parts for the job.

solution:

Promenaid handrails fit the bill, providing the flexibility to easily reposition the brackets to match the

locations of the studs. Because Promenaid is a beautiful product that is easy to install, code-compliant,

and ready to ship immediately, the team’s buy-in was a simple one. Problem solved.

handrail system that became a centerpiece of the property. Even better, the handrails were easily installed by two untrained laborers and required zero lead time.

“There are some nice handrails out there, but most are so complicated they’re really expensive to install. We needed a system that had movable brackets, looked good, and didn’t cost a mint. Promenaid delivered what the competition couldn’t.”

– Dan Dunigan, Senior Project Manager, KRDB
