HANDRAILS AND BASERAILS

We manufacture a wide range of handrails and baserails to suit all tastes and budgets. Rails are grooved to accept spindles of choice and the insert fillets are included, ready to be cut to fit between the spindles. All hand and base rails are supplied by the metre, only pay for what you need!

To compliment our hand rails we also produce a full range of continuous handrail components, all shown lower down on this page. All sectional bends are supplied with handrail bolts as required. In addition to continuous sections, our Victorian handrail can be supplied with traditional 'ramps and wreaths' to give the true Victorian sweeping handrail look.

Please see our Glossary for some help with handrail terms.
