Has anyone had any issues / problems with handrails or grabrails, where the ability to use the rail has been impaired by extremes of hot or cold (ie. frost on outdoor rails in alpine regions) or even worse issues of static electricity or electrical current transfer in wet areas????

If so what methods have you used to resolve these problems? Are these issues more likely under certain conditions?? If so can you indicate which conditions you typically identify as particularly hazardous???

Cheers Katy
