Handrail Brackets: Safety and Style for Your Home

A handrail bracket is far more than just an inconspicuous component. It is the essential link between the handrail and the wall, providing the necessary stability and safety. Choosing the right bracket not only affects the load-bearing capacity but also the look of your staircase. A perfectly matched handrail bracket can underline the style of your handrail and create a harmonious overall appearance. Here we show you what to consider when making your choice.

Which handrail bracket is right for me?

The decision for the right handrail bracket depends on several factors: wall condition, material, color, wall clearance, and the shape of your handrail.

Material and Color

Our handrail brackets are available in a wide range of materials and finishes, allowing you to perfectly match the bracket to your handrail and interior design.

Handrail Bracket Stainless Steel

Modern, timeless, and extremely robust. Ideal for purist and industrial designs.

Handrail Bracket Aluminum Silver

Elegant and classic without being obtrusive. Matches many types of wood and styles.

Handrail Bracket Brass

The warm, noble tones add luxurious accents and harmonize especially well with dark woods or classic interiors. But they also provide a refined touch with white or black handrails.

Handrail Bracket Aluminum Gold

The warm, noble tones add luxurious accents and harmonize especially well with dark woods or classic interiors.

Handrail Bracket Aluminum White

Simple yet expressive. White brackets visually blend in with light-colored walls.

Handrail Bracket Aluminum Black

Simple yet expressive. Black brackets create a strong contrast and are particularly impressive in modern, minimalist environments.

Handrail Bracket Aluminum Gray

Versatile and modern, perfect for urban or Scandinavian living concepts.

Bearing Surface

The bearing surface of the handrail bracket must match the shape of your handrail to ensure optimal force transfer.

• Round: For handrails with a round shape.
• Straight: Suitable for square, omega, or profiled handrails.
• Screw-in Type: A flexible solution for round and straight handrails, where the bracket is screwed directly into the wood. The corresponding pilot hole is pre-drilled for you in the set.

Handrail brackets and their impact on design

Handrail brackets are not only functional elements but also important design features. Depending on the material and color, they can have a decisive influence on the overall effect of your staircase. For example, a black handrail bracket can create a striking contrast against a white wall, while a golden bracket can make a simple wooden staircase look more luxurious.

Combining the bracket with the type of wood used for the handrail enables an individual aesthetic. A brass bracket on a dark oak handrail creates a warm, traditional look, while a stainless-steel bracket on a white beech handrail conveys modernity and clarity.

Installing handrail brackets for maximum safety

Proper installation is crucial for the safety and stability of your handrail. Each handrail bracket comes with the appropriate mounting hardware for secure installation on different wall types.

Brick or Concrete Walls

For these solid walls, use the supplied plugs and screws. These ensure an extremely strong anchoring that can withstand heavy loads.

Drywall

For plasterboard or drywall, special cavity anchors are required. These expand behind the panel and ensure a secure hold without damaging the wall. We offer the appropriate anchors and hanger bolts for this wall type.

Wooden Walls

In wooden walls or studs, the brackets can be mounted directly with the appropriate screws. It is important to use screws of sufficient length to ensure a stable connection.

We are happy to advise you on which mounting material is best suited to your specific wall condition in order to guarantee maximum safety for your home.

Frequently Asked Questions about Handrail Brackets

How many handrail brackets do I need for my staircase?

The number of brackets required depends on the length of your handrail and is crucial for stability:

• Up to 1.95 m: 2 brackets
• 2.00 to 3.00 m: 3 brackets
• 3.10 to 4.00 m: 4 brackets
• 4.10 to 4.50 m: 5 brackets

For additional safety, for example with limited mobility, we recommend using one extra bracket per meter.

What is the correct wall clearance?

Our handrail brackets are available with wall clearances of 65 mm, 70 mm, and 75 mm. The correct wall clearance is important so that the hand can grip the handrail safely without pinching fingers against the wall. DIN 18065 recommends a minimum clearance of 50 mm.

Which mounting materials are included?

Each handrail bracket comes with the appropriate mounting hardware for standard walls. For special surfaces such as drywall, plasterboard, or wooden walls, we offer special anchors and hanger bolts that ensure safe and stable installation.
