Continuous Handrail Fittings
The continuous handrail system comprises a number of fittings
which allow the handrail to flow uninterrupted over newels and
spindles. The system covers changes in height and direction and is
suitable for most staircase configurations.
A number of the fittings are available in both the Heavy HDR
handrail profile and the Light LHR profile.
All handrail fittings are supplied overlong to suite the
majority of staircase pitches and configurations and will need to
be cut down to suite individual requirements.
Handrail Starts

A Volute is an elegant and stylish way to start
your handrail.

If space is limited or a simpler look is desired, the opening
cap will form an elegant start to a continuous handrail. |

Turns
The continous handrail system means that any turns or winds in
your staircase can be easily catered for, whilst maintaining the
continuous flow of the handrail.
|
The HC is used where a handrail is required to turn
through 90o or 180o. It is drilled
underneath to allow use with the continuous handrail newel
post.
The HT is used mainly at the top of the stairs where the landing
returns 180o. It can also be used on a first floor
landing, where the balustrading turns through
90o and a corner landing newel is not
required.

Upeasings, Overeasings and Vertical Turns
These components allow vertical changes in the handrail,
for example where there are winding turns in the staircase.
|
 |
Upeasings
Upeasings are used with vertical turns when the handrail needs
to gain extra height. They can also be used to give wall mounted
handrails more shape.

Overeasing
Overeasings are mainly used at the top of the stairs where the
newel is set back from the top of the stairs. Can also be used to
give wall-mounted handrail more shape.

Straight Cap
The maximum distance we recommended between landing newels is
2400mm. If landings exceed this measurement, newels will be
required to provide additional stability. The straight cap provides
a seamless link for the handrail over mid-newels.
