Handrails aren’t the first thing that comes to mind when you’re designing a home, but for those with mobility impairments, they’re essential. Some handrails function only as decorative features, offering little to no stability, while others omit the design element and fulfill only the safety purpose. From our experience, you can have both. 

    Promenaid combines beauty and functionality in one handrail. These handrails come in multiple finishes with customizable brackets.

    Even better — Promenaid handrails don’t need professional installation. They’re easy to install for both beginners and experts alike, assuring your home is safe and accessible for all residents and visitors. 


    Humble Origins

    Promenaid was started by architect David Reich after he was diagnosed with a medical condition that limited his mobility. This led him to search for a handrail company that could quickly install home handrail solutions that were both stylish and functional. Unfortunately, his search was fruitless. After six months of waiting for a handrail installation, he decided to take matters into his own hands.

    David teamed up with his nephew and a friend. Together, the three decided to start Promenaid — the only company on the market selling a high-end, modular handrail that is easy to install, offers plenty of style options, and can be used anywhere in the home.


    Versatility and Style Define This Company

    With a selection of modern finishes and accessories, Promenaid handrails complement any color scheme or layout within a home. The products work in wet and dry conditions and meet Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) standards and safety requirements for handrails.

    Notable features of Promenaid products include:

    • The stair handrail kits climb stairs, turn corners, and fit anywhere in the home.
    • Finishes include Champagne, Silver, Architectural Bronze, Satin Black, Satin White, Red Oak, Unfinished Red Oak and Black Walnut.
    • The company’s triple-plated brackets and fittings come in Champagne, Silver, Architectural Bronze, Matte Nickel, Antique Brass, Satin White, and Satin Black.
    • All products are die-cast zinc for durability.
    • The ADA-compliant end caps and adjustable elbows allow continuous bends and wall returns.
    • Each bracket supports up to 500 pounds to provide maximum stability.

    Quality and Safety

    Choosing handrails that prioritize quality and safety should be a top concern, especially for homeowners with limited mobility.

    Handrails designed to prevent dangerous falls help create an accessible home environment for seniors and those living with a disability. Focusing on aesthetics alone overlooks key factors like durability, weight load, and ADA compliance.

    Promenaid’s products check every box when it comes to craftsmanship, safety, and style. The company’s handrails offer homeowners peace of mind, knowing they can help prevent painful injuries from potential falls in the home.

    Promenaid-engineered top-tier handrails work with any color scheme or layout. Promenaid’s products are:

    • Safe and sturdy
    • Quick to install
    • Reasonably priced
    • Modern and stylish
    • ADA compliant

    Beyond homes, Promenaid’s handrails are a top choice for hospitals, offices, restaurants, apartment buildings, and more. The company’s rails ensure accessibility and safety in both public and private spaces. 


    Fastest Installation Time

    Another Promenaid advantage is the fast and easy installation process — entire installations take just one day. This speed comes from the innovative handrail design that doesn’t require professional service. 

    Homeowners have two options for installation preparation:

    • Cut the rails themselves with a standard miter saw. While most blades work, it’s not recommended to use an abrasive cutter when cutting the rails.
    • Have them pre-cut and ready to assemble.

    Once the rails are delivered, homeowners clip together the pieces and screw them into wall studs. The handrails easily align with studs and can be repositioned anytime. 

    Today’s Homeowner Tips

    From years of experience, we don’t recommend installing the rails into drywall. For these handrails to provide maximum safety and functionality, attach the brackets to studs, masonry, or an equivalent wall structure.
