Why choose an oak handrail?
Oak is a dense hardwood with good wear resistance, which makes it well suited to a surface that is touched every day. Its visible grain gives each handrail natural variation, while the material can be shaped into both round and profiled forms.
Oak handrail finishes
A finish protects the surface and influences colour, sheen and feel. Oak handrails can be supplied untreated, oiled, hardwax oiled or lacquered. Each option gives a different appearance, feel and level of surface protection.
Round or profiled oak handrails?
Round handrails offer a simple, continuous grip. Profiled handrails can create a more architectural or traditional expression. The right option depends on the staircase, the desired grip and the surrounding interior.
How to care for an oak handrail
Regular cleaning with a soft, lightly damp cloth is usually enough. Avoid aggressive cleaners. If the surface becomes dry or worn, maintenance should match the original finish used on the handrail.
