Handrail Elbows: Custom-Made Connections for Your Stairs
A safe and visually appealing stair handrail is essential for any multi-story home. When it comes to a seamless transition at corners or landings, the handrail elbow is the crucial component. It not only ensures a continuous, secure grip but also gives your stair railing a polished look. We offer custom-made, precise fittings in true professional quality. With our custom handrail elbows, you are perfectly prepared for your own DIY project.
What is a handrail elbow and what is it used for?
A handrail elbow (often also referred to as a handrail bend or connecting curve) is a precisely fitting connector for handrails. It is used whenever there is a change of direction, for example at 90-degree corners, on landings, or in the stairwell.
The use of such an elbow serves two important purposes:
- Safety: A continuous handrail elbow allows you to navigate the stairs safely without having to take your hand off at corners or dangerously readjust your grip. Seniors and people with limited mobility, in particular, benefit from this uninterrupted guidance for maximum safety when climbing stairs.
- Aesthetics: Instead of having handrail ends meet abruptly, the elbow creates a harmonious, flowing transition without unsightly edges in the stair design. This ensures the perfect finishing touch, especially for new builds or visual renovations.
Our Materials: Professional Quality for the Highest Demands
You shouldn't make any compromises when designing your indoor staircase. That is why we consistently rely on high-quality, durable materials and true quality in our product range, rather than short-lived plastic imitations or thin veneers.
In the following overview, we have summarized the properties of our two main materials to make your choice easier:
| Material | Appearance | Feel | Maintenance Effort |
|---|---|---|---|
| Solid Wood | Natural, warm appeal, classic to modern | Pleasantly warm, easy to grip, natural structure | Low (infrequent re-oiling or wiping with a damp cloth) |
| Stainless Steel | Puristic, modern, cool shine | Smooth, cool, extremely robust | Very low (easily wipeable, resistant) |
Wooden Handrail Elbows
A wooden handrail elbow brings a piece of nature into your living space. We exclusively process real, robust solid wood instead of cheap veneer. This not only offers you a wonderfully warm feel but also a timeless look that adds character to any room. Whether you are looking for a light pine handrail bend or a classic beech handrail elbow, you will find it here!
We have the following wood types in our range for wooden handrail elbows:
- Beech (in natural, white & black)
- Pine
- Ash & dark ash
- Maple
- Oak & red oak
Stainless Steel Handrail Elbows
If you prefer a modern, industrial, or particularly puristic design, a stainless steel handrail elbow is the perfect choice. We use high-quality stainless steel that guarantees extreme durability. A stainless steel handrail bend is absolutely easy to maintain, scratch-resistant, and ideal for heavily used staircases. Of course, a stainless steel handrail with an elbow can be perfectly combined with our matching stainless steel handrail brackets. A stainless steel handrail elbow stands for uncompromising stability and a clean look. Please note that this specific handrail elbow is exclusively suitable for handrails with a 45 mm diameter.
