Stunning Staircase Design

180°  (1/2 twist per 1.1m spindle)

The most subtle of our elliptical metal tube spindles

360°  (1 twist per 1.1m spindle)

A beautifully balanced twist – truly timeless

540°   (1.5 twists per 1.1m spindle)

A striking design for a statement staircase

Continuous (continuous twists per 1.1m spindle)

A modern take on 17th century barleycorn furniture design

Each spindle is cut to 1.1m; this extra length of tubing allows for the tube to be cut so that it fits any sized staircase. (Please note that the legal minimum handrail height in private residences is 900mm for staircases and landings).

Choice of metals

Our engineers typically craft our spindles from stainless steel 304L (1.4301) for internal balustrades. Stainless steel is simple to maintain and it offers a wide choice of finishes to suit your design; a luxurious mirror polish finish catches the light beautifully, whereas a satin finish adds contemporary appeal and effectively disguises fingerprints and smears. PVD colour can be used for a statement staircase.

If your balustrade is external then we would recommend a more corrosion-resistant grade of stainless steel – 316L (1.4404). This grade of stainless steel is frequently used in harsh conditions such a marine environment.

We can also fabricate our spindles and handrails from other metals such as brass, bronze or cupronickel. Warm metal tones work especially well with timbers such as oak and pine, and are often popular for restorative projects in character homes or buildings.  Copper, or metal alloys that contain copper, have proven antimicrobial properties; this offers a compelling reason to consider copper and its alloys – especially in public environments and commercial properties.
