Pigs Ear Handrail

The pigs ear handrail is best for those who want a simple design and gets it’s name from the handrail’s profile shape. A pigs ear handrail is mounted directly onto the wall, negating the need for brackets and providing a simpler and cleaner aesthetic. Pigs ear handrails are available in a variety of timbers, including oak and pine and they are also available with a white prime finish ready for painting.

Standard Handrail

If you are looking for something more substantial to hold on to, you may want to have a standard handrail mounted on your wall.  A range of different handrail profiles are available to choose from along with the brackets for mounting them. Both low profile and standard handrail profiles are available.  When deciding upon a handrail it is also important to note the legal regulations. British staircase regulations stipulate that a staircase narrower than 1 metre must have at least one handrail and any wider than this, 2 handrails are required. This often leads to situations where a staircase is sandwiched between walls or is wide with a wall on one side. In these situations a wall mounted handrail is not only the practical option but  it is also compulsory.
