Custom Iron Handrails Cut to Your Exact Staircase Angle

t358-13

Custom iron handrails are cut and bent to the exact pitch and turns of your staircase, so they fit the wall and steps without gaps or forced joints. The process starts with an on-site measurement, followed by a written drawing for your approval before production begins.

Why the Staircase Angle Matters for a Handrail

A handrail that is off by even a few degrees will sit crooked, leave gaps at the wall brackets, or force installers to bend it on site. The pitch of the stairs, the landing transitions and any winders all change the geometry the rail must follow.

Because of this, a standard off-the-shelf rail rarely suits a real staircase. Making the rail to measure removes guesswork and keeps the finished line smooth and consistent from the first step to the top.

What We Need From You Before We Measure

To quote the work accurately, send us a few clear photos of the staircase, the wall and any existing railing. Note the number of steps, the direction of turns and whether the stairs end at a landing or a wall.

On-Site Measurement by Our Team

After reviewing your photos, our team visits the site to take exact measurements. We record the pitch of the flight, the position of each wall bracket, the height from the nosing and the length of every straight and curved section.

Measurements are taken where the rail will actually sit, because walls are rarely perfectly straight. Recording the real conditions is what allows the rail to be cut to the right angle in the factory.

Drawing and Written Specification

Once measured, we prepare a drawing showing each section, its length and angle, the bracket positions and the bend points. A written specification accompanies the drawing, listing the profile, finish and fixing method.

Please review both carefully. Your approval is required before production starts, so any change in layout or detail can be corrected at this stage rather than after the metal is cut.

Production and Finishing in the Factory

Approved rails are cut, bent and welded in our factory at 37 Rival Street, Tel Aviv, where every piece is made to the drawing. Angled cuts and transitions are checked against the measurements during fabrication.

After shaping, the iron is finished by hot-dip galvanizing or powder coating, depending on the location and look you want. Finishing protects the metal against weather and wear, especially for exterior staircases.

Installation and Compliance Checks

Installation fits the rail to the brackets and secures it firmly to the wall or posts. Because the rail was measured and cut to your staircase, the fit should be close, with little adjustment needed.

Handrail height, clearances and grip dimensions should be checked against the Israeli railing standard SI 1142. Exact values are confirmed with your engineer for each project.

Frequently asked questions

Can you make a handrail for a curved or winder staircase?

Yes. Curved sections and winders are measured point by point on site and bent to the drawn radius in the factory. This is one of the main reasons custom work is preferred over standard rails.

Do I need to provide drawings?

No. We take the measurements ourselves and prepare the drawing. If your architect has existing plans, sharing them helps us check the details, but it is not required.

How do you make sure the angle is correct?

We measure the actual pitch and transitions on site and check the fabricated sections against those figures. You approve the drawing before production begins, so the layout is confirmed in advance.

Can the handrail be matched to other iron railings in the building?

Yes. We can match profile, finish and color to existing balcony bars or stair railings so the whole installation looks consistent.

Common mistakes to avoid

Ordering a rail from rough photos alone, or skipping the approval of the drawing, often leads to a wrong angle that only shows up at installation. Always confirm the measurements and layout in writing first.

Our recommendation

Ask for the on-site measurement before anything is cut, and keep the approved drawing with the project file so installers work from the same reference.

Summary

Custom iron handrails cut to your exact staircase angle give a precise, professional fit. Measure on site, approve the drawing, and let production follow the confirmed layout.
