Why oak works well on stairs
Oak is hard-wearing, stable and visually distinctive, making it a strong choice for a surface that is touched every day.
Measuring a stair handrail
Measure each flight carefully and consider how the handrail starts, ends and changes direction. Long custom lengths can simplify the finished look.
Profiles and grip
Round profiles are simple and continuous, while shaped profiles can create a more architectural expression. Grip comfort should remain a priority.
Finish and maintenance
Oil and hardwax oil preserve much of the natural feel of oak, while lacquer creates a more sealed surface. Maintenance should match the chosen finish.
