Finding the Right Handrail For Your Stairs 

Choosing the right handrail depends on your staircase design. Grooved bannisters with infills are ideal for traditional wooden staircases as they make fitting traditional balustrades quick and easy. Grooved handrails also work well with glass or metal staircases, providing a secure fit for both spindles or panels and giving a modern finish. 

Ungrooved handrails give you plenty of flexibility. They can be paired with matching spindles or glass brackets, or mounted directly to the wall using handrail brackets, creating a clean, minimalist finish.

If you need help selecting the perfect handrail or understanding installation, our team of experts are ready to guide you. You can also browse our FAQs below for step-by-step tips and advice.

Handrail FAQs 

How do I install a handrail on a staircase?

To install your handrail, measure your staircase and mark where the brackets will go. Then, using your handrail fixings, attach the brackets securely and fix the handrail in place, making sure it runs smoothly along the stairs. For grooved handrails, ensure spindles or panels can be inserted into the balustrading space before securing the rail.

How do I replace a wall mounted handrail?

To replace your wall-mounted staircase bannister, remove the old handrail from its brackets or posts, then fit the new handrail, checking it is level and firmly secured.

How do I fit a pig’s ear handrail?

Fit a pig’s ear handrail by simply positioning the pig’s ear against the desired location on the wall and securing the handrail using appropriate wall plugs & screws. We recommend fixings located every 1000mm length of handrail.

What height should a staircase bannister be?

As per part K of Building Regulations in the UK:

“In all buildings handrail height should be between 900mm and 1000mm measured to the top of the handrail from the pitch line or floor.”

This applies to both stairs and landing handrails.

Do handrails come supplied with infill?

All grooved handrails are provided with infill panels to make fitting spindles, metal or glass easy and professional. Ungrooved handrails are not provided with infill.

How many brackets do you recommend to support a handrail?

We recommend two brackets plus an additional bracket every 1000mm of handrail for added support and stability. For example, with a 4200mm handrail we recommend 6 brackets.
