Pure Timber Handrails
What is the first thing you see when you open the front door? In many homes, it’s the staircase. The staircase says so much about the style and quality of your home, and one feature that can make or break the staircase is the handrail. A well designed and crafted timber handrail can create a stunning and grand feature of any staircase.
For your staircase balustrade you could choose classic timber spindles, decorative wrought iron or glass panels. No matter what you choose ensure that you don’t overlook the importance of the handrail. The handrail is the only part of the staircase balustrade that will be touched every time anyone walks up or down your staircase and you want to feel true quality and craftsmanship.
Timber handrails are available in a number of different profile shapes. For a stunning, traditional timber staircase, you might choose a larger section handrail in a classic shape. Add to the design a sculptured handrail volute or wreathed handrail section to really get a distinctive feel. For a more contemporary staircase, where you have perhaps included other materials such as steel or glass, select a simple handrail profile with clean lines.
You have a wide range of material option when choosing your handrail. Handrails are available in a wide range of timbers including pine, oak and sapele. Sapele is a timber environmentally suited to emulate Mahogany as it has an underlying dark red colour which, when well polished, can be stunning. Pine is an adaptable timber and can be stained, polished or painted. If you choose to use oak stair parts you will achieve a classic, opulent staircase. Timber handrails will complete a timber staircase to create a warm, traditional feel. Alternatively, timber handrails can also be used in stark contrast to very contemporary materials to stunning effect.
If you want to go the extra-mile with your staircase, you may decide to get a complex curved timber handrail. Bespoke, complex handrails are manufactured for each individual environment to ensure a smooth, continuous timber handrail. Often digital measuring technology is used alongside CAD/CAM systems to ensure outstanding accuracy and quality. Continuous timber handrail cannot be beaten when creating a distinctive staircase.
When choosing the stair parts you wish to use to create your perfect staircase make sure you don’t forget the handrail. Choosing the right handrail will finish off the design of your staircase perfectly and will make your staircase a pleasure to use.
