Order Handrail Sets for a Two-Story Townhouse Staircase

t358-49

To order handrail sets for a two-story townhouse staircase, send photos and a rough sketch of both flights and the landing, then arrange an on-site measurement so we can produce every section to exact length. Decide early on the material, the handrail profile, and whether the wall-side and open-side rails match, since these choices shape the drawing and the final specification.

Why a two-story staircase needs a complete set

A townhouse staircase usually has two flights, a landing, and often a turn or a half-landing. Each run needs its own handrail, posts, and balusters, and the pieces must line up at the landing and at the top floor. Ordering the whole set together, rather than piece by piece, helps the sections match in height, profile, and finish.

Planning the set as one project also means the handrail on the wall side and the railing on the open side can be designed to work together, with consistent heights and clean transitions at the landing.

What to prepare before you contact us

Having a few details ready speeds up the first conversation considerably. Useful information includes:

Photos of the staircase from the bottom and the top
A rough sketch showing the number of steps in each flight and the landing size
Whether the staircase is open on one side, both sides, or enclosed by a wall
The material you prefer, such as iron, stainless steel, or glass infill

If you are unsure about any of these, describe what you see and we will help you decide.

Measuring and drawing the set

After the inquiry, we arrange an on-site measurement. We check the step nosing line, the wall or open edge, the landing dimensions, and the points where the handrail must fix. Because stairs are rarely perfectly straight or level, we measure the actual site rather than relying on the plans alone.

From these measurements we prepare a drawing and a written specification covering every section, post position, and fixing point. You review and approve the drawing before anything goes into production.

Choosing materials and finish

Iron railings are sturdy and suit most townhouse styles, while stainless steel offers a cleaner, modern look. Aluminum is lighter and useful where weight matters. For longevity, our finishing options include hot-dip galvanizing and powder coating, which protect the metal and let you choose a colour that matches your windows and doors.

Keep the same material and finish across both flights and the landing so the staircase reads as one coherent piece.

Safety and the railing standard

Handrail height, baluster spacing, and the strength of the fixings all matter for safety, especially where children live in the house. Israeli railing requirements are set out in standard SI 1142. We design to these requirements, but exact measured values should always be confirmed with your engineer or building committee before the final order.

Tell us early if young children or elderly residents use the stairs, so we can design the spacing and grip accordingly.

From approval to installation

Once you approve the drawing, production takes place in our Tel Aviv factory at Rival Street 37. Sections are cut, welded, finished, and then delivered for installation. We coordinate the fixing points with your contractor so the set goes in cleanly and fits the drawing on site.

Keeping the same contact person through the project makes it easier to resolve any small changes that come up during installation.

Frequently asked questions

How long before I need to order the staircase railing?

Order once the staircase structure and wall finishes are fixed enough to measure accurately. Measuring too early can lead to adjustments later, so it is best to coordinate with your contractor's schedule.

Can the handrail on the wall side differ from the open side?

Yes, the two sides can use different profiles or details, but we recommend keeping the height and finish consistent. This gives the staircase a unified look and makes it more comfortable to use.

Do I need to be home for the measurement?

Being present helps, since we can confirm the details with you directly. If you cannot be there, make sure someone who can answer questions about the site is available.

Can you match an existing railing on the upper floor?

In many cases we can match the profile and finish of an existing railing. Send photos of the current railing and we will tell you what is possible from the images before the site visit.

Common mistakes to avoid

Ordering before the staircase is finished, or measuring only from the plans, often leads to sections that do not fit the real site. Also avoid mixing different materials and finishes across the flights, which can make the staircase look disjointed.

Our recommendation

Measure and approve the full drawing before production, and confirm the required railing heights and fixing details with your engineer. Choosing one material and one finish for the whole staircase is usually the simplest way to get a clean, lasting result.

Summary

A complete two-story handrail set is best ordered as one planned project, based on an on-site measurement, an approved drawing, and consistent materials and finish.
