HANDRAILS AND BRACKETS Julius Blum & Co., Inc. stocks a large variety of handrail mouldings and brackets for horizontal and vertical mounting in elevator cabs. Matching elbows and end caps are available for most sections. Handrail sections are supplied with a smooth mill finish suitable for architectural finishes. SADDLES Elevator and Door Saddles are available in aluminum, bronze, nickel-silver, stainless steel and steel. Flat fluted sections may be combined with single or double speed saddles to extend width. Saddle alloy matches handrail alloy. MOULDINGS A variety of other architectural mouldings are available. These mouldings provide for alternative methods of glass framing or door edging. Stair nosings in bronze and aluminum are also available from stock. Mouldings are frequently combined in restoration work. TUBING, BARS AND SHAPES A large selection of tubing, bars, and shapes in aluminum, bronze, steel, nickel-silver and stainless steel are available from stock. Shapes are extruded to high tolerances and have the sharp corners required for architectural work. Angles and tees are used frequently in dropped ceilings as well as other areas of elevator cabs. This section contains details on the Julius Blum & Co. components which are of particular use in the assembly of elevator cabs. Included are Elevator Door Saddles and Flat Fluted Sections in aluminum, bronze, nickel-silver, stainless steel and handrail mouldings and brackets which are suitable for vertical mounting. Aluminum components are of alloy 6063—extrusions are T52 temper while machined brackets are T6 temper. When properly fabricated, they are suitable for anodizing, including most of the hard coat anodic processes. Black anodizing may result in inconsistent matches—consult your anodizer before specifying. Bronze components are of extruded architectural bronze alloy, C38500. Nickel-Silver saddles, fluted sections and handrail are extruded from copper-nickel-zinc alloy, C79800. Stainless Steel components are made of Type 302/304 (18-8) stainless steel. All brackets are satin finished. Acrylic/Wood handrail mouldings—in oak, walnut and ash—are impregnated with acrylic plastic according to the Permagrain® Radiation Process. This provides a hard surface and permanent finish which has twice the resistance to indentation and several times the resistance to abrasion as the same hardwood finished conventionally. It is laminated from several strips so as to obtain greater strength and continuous uniform lengths. For more information, see pages 62-63. Refer to pages 104 to 122 of Catalog 18 for our full range of tubing, bars and shapes in aluminum, bronze, nickel-silver, steel and stainless steel.
