July 15, 2020 (Oshawa, Canada) ─ EHC Global (EHC), a leading manufacturer of components, technical services and integrated solutions to the vertical transportation industry, is proud to announce the recent installation of brown NT ColourRail™ escalator handrails at the Aupark shopping mall and entertainment centre in Bratislava, Slovakia. Aupark opened to the public in 2001 and underwent an expansion in 2015. With nearly 12 million visitors a year, Aupark features over 200 stores and a wide selection of restaurants, entertainment options and other amenities. The centre consists of four above-ground floors and one underground level.
Aupark’s interior architecture and design elements feature brown earth tones throughout as well as many natural materials including wood railings and facades, water features, and rainforest-inspired plant strings that are suspended from the glass ceiling and reach down to the lower level. Brown NT ColourRail™ high-gloss handrails enhance the overall appearance of the escalators, complement the wood grain cladding, and helps to deliver a safe and hands-on tactile experience to Aupark visitors as they move from one level to another.
NT ColourRail™ is available in standard and custom colours and features an easy-to-maintain high-gloss finish that enhances the overall appearance of escalators and moving walks and encourages customers to hold the handrail. In addition to improved aesthetics and risk mitigation, installing NT ColourRail™ can provide building owners and property managers with other value-added benefits including enhanced wayfinding, brand activation and rider experience.
Developed by EHC, the patented NT handrail platform features an easy-to-maintain, high-gloss finish and is an environmentally friendly and technologically advanced alternative to conventional rubber handrails. The NT suite of value-added solutions, collectively referred to as “NT+”, has been engineered to provide enhanced safety, wayfinding, aesthetics, brand activation, physical distancing, and reliability to building owners and property managers. Available in a wide range of profiles, NT handrail is recyclable and is available in standard and custom colours. The NT+ product family includes ColourRail™, SafeRail™, MotionRail™, BrandRail™, AMRail™, and ADRail™. EHC also offers a Handrail Cleaning Solution that will not compromise the strength, performance life or warranty of NT and TufFlex handrails. To learn more about EHC, visit www.ehc-global.com.
