This involves several decisions such as aesthetics, comfort, and appropriate dimensions to accommodate the desired balusters.Īesthetics is a simple matter of selecting a design that complements the over all style of the balustrade and the home itself. The next factor to consider is the handrail profile. The handrail begins with a starting fitting such as a volute or start cap and continues over the top of intermediate posts using transition fittings like tandem caps or quarter turn newel caps.
This type of fitting requires no transition fittings to flow over the post however fittings may be required in other circumstances in this type of system.Ī continuous handrail system is one in which the handrail flows smoothly over the top of any posts. Finally, in order to prevent damage to the profile by the clamps, it is necessary to use two pieces of appropriate bender moulding for each rail being bent.Ī Post to Post system in one in which the handrail begins and ends at a post.
It is also important to note that laminating a curved handrail requires approximately 18” of waist to insure a proper bend, therefore make sure account for this when figuring lengths. Due to the inherent properties of hardwoods, bending handrails can typically be used only on stairways with radius’ 36” or greater and level bends of 48” or greater. These are handrails that are shaped from multiple individual splices that can be glued and bent to match virtually any curved stairway or floor level balustrade. Straight Handrails are typically 2-3 layers of hardwood laminated to insure they remain straight and to allow for longer lengths and larger profiles than might be possible otherwise.Ĭurved railing systems require bending handrails.
