Never Let Go of the Rail
Gaps in handrails are dangerous. A continuous rail means constant support. Hold on from first step to last without having to let go.
💡 Pro tip: The moment you let go of the rail is when falls happen. Continuous means never having to let go.

Frequently Asked Questions
What's a continuous handrail?
A rail that runs the full length of your stairs without gaps. You can hold on from bottom to top without letting go. Safer than separate sections.
My rail has gaps at the newel posts - can you fix this?
Yes - we can extend or modify rails to give continuous support past the posts. Common issue in older houses.
Does it go around corners?
We can add return sections or corner pieces so the rail goes around landings and corners. Continuous grip all the way.
Will it match my existing woodwork?
We try to match or complement existing rails and woodwork. Same finish where possible, or something that looks good alongside.
