We answer you
A handrail rope can be installed in different ways depending on the desired look and the accessories you choose.
1. Select the right accessories for your project
Start by selecting end fittings and rings that are compatible with the diameter of your rope and match the style you are looking for.
- For the ends of the handrail, you can choose from different types of end fittings: standard end fitting, end fitting with hook, wall-mounted end fitting, or end fitting with snap hook.
- Along the staircase, wall rings guide and support the rope. We generally recommend installing 1 ring every 80 cm. This spacing creates a slight curve in the rope.
- If your staircase has an angle or turn, use our rings specially designed for corners at 90°, for inside and/or outside corners.
2. Position the rope at the correct height
Position your handrail at a height that provides a natural and comfortable grip throughout the staircase. Mark the location of the different fixing points before drilling.
3. Fix the accessories to the wall
The rings and end fittings must be fixed to a strong and secure surface, such as wood or concrete. Do not fix the accessories directly to plasterboard: the fixing could pull out under pressure and would not ensure safe use of the handrail.
Our accessories are supplied with suitable fixing screws for installation.
4. Cut and secure the rope
Once the rope is positioned through the rings and inside the end fittings, tighten the grub screws. As they are tightened, they penetrate the rope and hold it firmly in position.
The end of the rope may sometimes swell slightly, making it difficult to insert into the end fitting or ring. If this happens, wrap it tightly with electrical tape before cutting it, then insert it into the end fitting. This will give you a more compact end that is easier to fit.
For outdoor installation, we recommend using:
- Ropes that are both twisted for a comfortable grip and synthetic for resistance to moisture and UV rays. Synthetic hemp rope and polyester rope are generally preferred.
- Stainless steel fixing accessories, which will not rust, unlike nickel-plated steel accessories, for example.
