Late last year one of the stairbuilders that I regular deal with asked me whether I would be interested in making a handrail profile for them.

They told me that they get a bit of a demand for it, but struggle to find anyone locally who was prepared to run it for them.

I told them that I was looking for a new design, so if they were happy for me to sell it to anyone, then I would be happy to produce the tooling free of charge.

Named the "Prestige" handrail, this design is wider than any of the other designs that we produce. We stock it in Vic Ash (for polishing) and Pine (for painting).

It is now part of our range of other timber handrails in our online shop.
