ABSTRACT:
A reinforced handrail provides two to four brackets attached to wallboard in a linear manner. Two brackets are end brackets, and there may be one or more center brackets. The wallboard is supported by vertically oriented 2.times.4 studs at spaced intervals, and is typically covered by tile, fiberglass or other protective surface. The wallboard and 2.times.4 studs may be strengthened by 2.times.6 reinforcements which are carried between adjacent 2.times.4 studs. Each bracket carries a short stand-off which is oriented perpendicularly to the wallboard. The stand-offs carried by end brackets in turn carry elbows. The stand-offs carried by center brackets carry rail supports. A handrail is carried by the elbows and rail supports. Where the handrail is formed from first and second segments, a stiffener insert may be used to increase the rigidity between the segments.
