DELABIE's bead weld by "ArN-Securit"
The plate and tube are welded together using a bead
weld so there is no need for a filler material (a process
exclusive to "ArN-Securit"). The plate and the tube form
a single, integrated structure particularly resistant
to the mechanical stresses placed on grab bars.

Bending tubes with a mandrel
The tubes are bent with precision using a mandrel to
prevent the metal from ovalising or stretching, ensuring
a uniform thickness of the metal throughout the bend.
Concealed fixings
All fixings are concealed by a stainless steel cover plate.
