Why choose ash for a handrail?

Ash combines strength with a lighter colour and expressive grain. It works particularly well in bright interiors and alongside pale timber floors or stairs.

Ash compared with oak

Both are hardwoods, but ash is generally lighter in colour and often shows a more flowing grain pattern. The final choice is mainly about appearance and the desired finish.

Finishes for ash

Oil and hardwax oil can enhance the grain while keeping a natural tactile feel. Lacquer can create a more sealed surface.

Ash for stair handrails

Ash can be shaped into round or profiled handrails and mounted using suitable wall brackets for indoor staircase applications.
