2. OVERVIEW
SPM Linea’Touch handrails consist of an aluminium profile and a PVC sheath. They are mounted onto the wall
using aluminium brackets.
These handrails must be screwed to the wall. The table below shows the installation techniques to be used for
the main types of wall surface found in the building industry.
TYPE OF WALL INSTALLATION PROCEDURE
Walls with wooden studs Woodscrews, 5 x 40 mm
Metallic structures Self-tapping screws, 5 x 40 mm
Plasterboard, single and double skin Self-tapping plug or metallic expansion plug
Hollow brick, hollow breeze block,
hollow plaster tiles Metallic expansion plug
Concrete walls FISCHER-type plugs, 6 mm diameter
for 5 x 40 mm screws
Solid brick and old walls FISCHER-type plugs, 8 mm diameter
for 5 x 40 mm screws
Cellular concrete FISCHER-type plugs, 8 mm diameter
for 5 x 40 mm screws

3. CUTTING TECHNIQUES
3.1. PVC/Aluminium profiles
The aluminium profile and the PVC sheath may both be cut using a
circular saw. We recommend using a fine-toothed carbide blade for
PVC and aluminium.
For a clean cut, both parts must be snap-fixed together.
3.2. Wall returns – Made-to-measure angles
Use a circular saw to cut made-to-measure angles. Mount the angle piece onto a
length of profile in order to hold it safely whilst cutting.
Be sure to position the angle piece correctly in order to obtain a cut 'along the radius'.
If the cut is slightly off line, this will cause assembly problems later on as it will affect
the shape and size of the surfaces in contact.

With reinforced version, when the end of the closer meets a wall return, angle piece or joining block, it will be
necessary to trim the closer in order to reduce its height.
