Bracket Finishes & Materials

Matching Your Handrail Bracket to Your Interior

Our metal handrail brackets are crafted from premium materials including solid brass, zinc alloy, aluminium, and stainless steel, offering long-lasting strength and style. Whether you’re restoring a period property or fitting out a contemporary space, we have a finish to suit. Choose polished brass for a warm, traditional look, matte black for modern minimalism, or chrome for a sleek, reflective finish. For coastal or high-humidity environments, satin stainless steel provides corrosion resistance, while antique finishes add character to heritage staircases.

Each bracket is precision-engineered for fixing to wooden handrails, ensuring a secure, wobble-free installation. They are suitable for domestic staircases, hotel corridors, office stairwells, and public building handrails, and comply with UK building regulations for safety. Popular projection sizes include 2" (50mm), 2.5" (63mm), and 3" (76mm), with the 2.5" size being the most widely used for comfortable wall clearance.

By combining quality craftsmanship, durable finishes, and easy installation, these wall-mounted handrail brackets are trusted by both trade professionals and DIY installers throughout the UK.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many handrail brackets do I need, and what should the spacing be?

Most recommendations suggest placing a bracket every 1 to 1.2 metres (approximately 3 to 4 feet), with additional brackets at each end of the handrail. For example, for a 3.6 metre (~12 ft) handrail, you’d typically use four brackets—one at either end and two evenly spaced in between.

What size projection should I choose for bracket fit and comfort?

The most commonly used size is a 2.5" (63 mm) projection, which strikes a good balance between clearance and support. Alternate sizes such as 2" (50 mm) or 3" (76 mm) are available for tight or more generous wall-clearance requirements.

What is the recommended handrail height to meet safety and building code standards?

In the UK and many other countries, standard handrail height is typically between 34" and 38" (approximately 865–965 mm) measured from the stair nosing to the top surface of the rail—a range that enhances both comfort and compliance.
