Loft Surround Safety Rail/Balustrade Black

Product Information

If you want to know if there’s a loft in a building (be it a barn, house or condo), just follow a kid. Kids just love loft areas, which is all the more reason to make them safe. Bison Products is the trading name of a long-established family-owned manufacturing company that has been trading since 1972. At each of these rake sections we glued and nailed the balusters but left the fillets out at the top. Then, we positioned the fillets and marked and cut them at the angle we had determined earlier. We finished the rail system by gluing and nailing the top fillets into position. Left: When we were starting our baluster layouts, we decided that the spacing between the final baluster and the exterior wall was not that important, as long as it was not larger than the code maximum of 4 inches. Right: To make the baluster cuts on the rake section, we continued to use the same size square cut fillets in the shoe rail while standing the balusters in position and making them at the guardrail.

About 71,000 kids ages 4-21 visit the ER each year due to bunk and loft bed accidents. Clark Jacobs, a Mechanical Engineering major at Georgia Institute of Technology was one of them. Clark suffered a traumatic brain injury that almost killed him.Please note there are a small number of postcodes, usually in remote rural areas, to which we may not be able to deliver within the provided timescale. Thermal foil insulation was essentially designed to keep your house warmer during the winter but its string heat reflective qualities means that it will also keep your loft cool in the summer.

Next, we set the table saw fence to make the tenon cuts, being careful to stop each time the shoulder cut on the newel reached the edge-of-blade mark on the table saw surface. After making the vertical cuts for the newel tenon, a miter saw carefully extended our shoulder cuts down to meet the tenon. After cutting the trim board, which extends the length of the loft, we transferred the marks for, and cut out the opening for the newel post tenon. We then positioned the newel post slightly off center over the opening in the floor and marked the width of the opening on to the newel post in both directions. Next, we used a Speed Square to extend these layout marks up to the shoulder cut on the newel and across the bottom of the post, to show where the material needed to be removed so the tenon could penetrate the floor. Repeat the process of using the table saw to remove extra material around the tenon; being careful each time to stop the cut at the mark on the table saw surface. The Safety Grab Rail is a simple and effective balance rail that gives support when using stairs or steps. As colleges enrollments increase, space becomes precious and bed height increases to accommodate storage. Unfortunately, many students don’t have any idea of the risk involved in sleeping in a bunk or loft bed with no safety rail to protect them. About 71,000 kids are injured each year, badly enough to send them to the ER.The Safety Grab Rail Your reliable companion for enhanced stability and support during stair or step usage. We also considered how much reveal was needed to the top of the newel post from the top of the rail. In some cases, you will have an ornamental newel post and you need to determine the point where you want the top of the rail to tie in to the newel post. Go from there to the height of your rail—usually 37 inches for residential applications—which allows one inch for carpet and pad, and puts your rail height at 36 inches. Lofts are elevated living spaces that serve a function. The only difference between a loft and any other room in your home is its location.

As is often the case with a loft, the guardrail presents a challenge where the rail height is interrupted by the rake of the ceiling coming down to meet it. You may also run into the challenge, as we did, of finding a way to anchor the rail into a ceiling where there are no rafters lining up with the rail. Next, we installed the shoe rail, which was a fairly straightforward process of measuring the distance between the exterior wall and the newel post, cutting the rail, centering it on the newel post, and then matching the reveal on the trim board at the other end. The Safety Grab Rail can be used in the loft access, by doors and steps or simply wherever you need a little support. The Grab Rail offers great stability, balance and support, giving you the confidence you need when climbing in and out of your loft hatch. Lofts can be very cool design features that add interest to interiors and take advantage of otherwise wasted space. A loft is often created where you have a structure within a structure, the most common being a large open room with a vaulted ceiling adjacent to an interior space that has a lower flat ceiling, which creates the floor for the loft. Determine the location of the floor opening for the newel post tenon. Drill the corners with a spade bit and cut out the floor boards with a jigsaw. Determine the location of the newel post, trace the outside of the newel and mark where the rim joist should be.
