This handrail system allows you to create a timelessly styled continuous handrail in almost any setting using just four component types. Because they are all made from solid timber and the connecting bolts are fitted by the user, the rail can be adapted and scribed. The rail is very well suited for accessibility situations.

DETAILS:

The components comprise:

1. A straight 44mm diameter mopstick handrail in oak. (Other timbers available to order)
2. A long curved section of radius 750mm to centre of rail – usually for wall ramps. (Cut by the installer to match the pitch of the stair)
3. A medium curved section of radius 350mm to centre of rail – usually for ramps over the narrow end of winders.  (Cut by the installer to match the pitch of the stair)
4. A 90º short curved corner piece designed for internal plan corners. It is also used for returns to the wall.

Features:

1. Just 4 component types
2. Solid timber
3. Improves accessibility over standard straight rail types
4. Saves money compared to many other continuous rail systems
5. Requires normal carpentry skills and commonly available tools to install
6. Straight lengths are sold by the metre – we can supply as standard  a single length up to 2.4m long. Lengths above this can be ordered by arrangement as can other bespoke components.
7. Templates can be supplied F.O.C. for your jig to accurately cut the curved rails to length/pitch.
8. Item is sold unfinished

The rail is generally to be supported at every joint and every 1 m of straight run with standard handrail brackets (not supplied). The joint utilises the standard Micro ZipBolt handrail connector which can be bought separately on this site.

TOOLS:

• 6mm bradpoint drill – Zipbolt clearance
• 5mm bradpoint drill- Zipbolt pilot
• 6mm open ended spanner- Zipbolt insertion
• 15mm forstner bit- Zipbolt nut recess
• hex key set – Zipbolt tightening
• 25mm forstner bit- aligning plug recesses (5mm deep)
• Drill and other general hand tools.
• Scraper, block plane, abrasives.

SPECIAL FITTING INFORMATION:

• Measurement (This describes drawing the layout onto the physical walls, however with accurate initial measurement, good or better results can be achieved by drawing the wall elevations in CAD and printing to scale).
  • Measure the pitch of the stair in degrees as accurately as possible (0.1º should normally suffice)
  • Draw the slopes and levels on the walls at the height of the centre of the handrail. (use low tack masking tape or similar if necessary)
  • Add ramp joint locations to the wall drawing.
• Accurately mark ramp cut locations from the wall drawing and cut. Remember the wall lines will be half way up the ramp when you mark it.
• Our template for accurately cutting the correct angle for the long curved component can be supplied.
• Drill out the various holes and recesses as shown in photos and Zipbolt instructions.
• Fully prefit and disassemble each joint before gluing.
  • We advise the use of PVA for these joints as there is more time for alignment.
  • For our own projects we use cyanoacrylate without hardener, making sure the joint is very quickly assembled and tightened after glue is thoroughly applied. Once the joint is tight, hardener can be sprayed on the outside to prevent slippage and allow cleaning up.
• As with most continuous handrailing, a moderate amount of levelling up at the joints should be expected. Depending on the installers skill, this can usually be done with abrasives and scrapers, but a blockplane and spokeshaves could become useful.
