About this range
Timber handrails, made to match
HR1 and HR2 handrail profiles in LOSP treated pine, turned in our Bayswater workshop and delivered Australia-wide. Priced per lineal metre — the figure shown is the rate, not the finished price, so a four metre run is four times the number on the profile. HR1 is $24.76 per metre, HR2 is $58.95 per metre.
Or send us a photo or a sample. If you are restoring a verandah and the original handrail is broken, worn, painted over or simply not made any more, we will match it — profile, timber and length — and cut it to your span. There is no stock range to choose from and no minimum profile: if you can show it to us, we can make it.
That is the part a catalogue cannot do, and it is what we have been doing since 1984.
The 19 handrail profiles
HR1 is the small rail, 65 mm wide by 45 mm high, from $24.76 per lineal metre; HR2 is the large rail, 85 x 65 mm, from $58.95. The other 17 profiles, HR3 to HR19, are milled to order at the same $58.95 per metre, so the choice between them is the shape, not the price. HR1 and HR2 are the rails built into our balustrade panels, and both carry a 12 mm deep trench underneath to take either 19 mm or 42 mm balusters.
Balcony handrail, verandah rail or stair handrail?
On a balcony or verandah the handrail is the top member of a level balustrade run; on a stair it follows the flight and lands on a newel post, which is why our newel posts have the handrail block turned in to suit your rail mould. The pre-assembled flight balustrade for our stair kits uses a 130 x 42 mm railing instead. Whichever it is, the rail is cut to the length of your run.
Bottom rails, fillets and the parts that go with a rail
The BR2 bottom rail, 65 x 42 mm with the 12 mm trench on top, is from $24.96 per metre and takes the same 19 mm or 42 mm inserts. Fillet mould closes the trench between the balusters and keeps water out of it: 19 x 12 mm from $3.60 a metre, 43 x 12 mm from $4.15. Loose timber balusters are sold on the same page as the rails, so a rail, a bottom rail, balusters and fillet can be ordered as one list.
Timber handrails in Melbourne, cut to length
Every rail is finger-jointed LOSP treated pine, milled in our Bayswater workshop, with the 25 year guarantee against rot, fungal decay and insect attack. Handrails and balustrades are usually ordered together; the balustrades and handrails page covers the panels. Tell us the profile, the metres and whether the run is level or on a stair, and we quote it; delivered to every state, or collected from Bayswater by arrangement.
