Request a Quote for Aluminum Handrails for Commercial Stairwells

What information to prepare before requesting a quote

A clear request saves time for both sides. Gather photos of the stairwell from the landing and from the lower and upper steps, along with any available architectural drawings showing the stair rise, run and width.

• Number of flights and landings
• Stair width and whether the rail is needed on one or both sides
• Preferred height and any building code requirements from your engineer
• Finish color and whether the stairwell is interior or exterior

Note any wall material, such as concrete, brick or a cladding system, because it affects the fixing method.

How the on-site measurement works

After we receive your inquiry, our team visits the building to measure the stairwell directly. Measuring on site captures details that drawings often miss, such as uneven walls, existing anchor points and the exact position of the handrail relative to the wall.

We record the lengths of each flight, the landing transitions, the wall returns and the post positions. These measurements form the basis of the drawing and the specification you will approve.

Drawings and written specification

Once measured, we prepare a drawing and a written specification covering the profile type, the aluminum section, the fixing method, the joints and the finish. The specification lists every component so that your procurement team can compare offers on equal terms.

Please review the drawing carefully. Confirm the height, the wall clearances and the end details. Changes are easier to make at this stage than after production begins.

Approval, manufacturing and finishing

We begin production only after you approve the drawing and specification in writing. In our factory, the aluminum sections are cut, shaped and assembled to the measured dimensions. Where required, we apply a powder coat finish in the color you select.

Compliance with the Israeli railing standard SI 1142 is part of our review. Exact load and dimension values should be confirmed with your engineer, and we can work to the figures your engineer provides.

Installation in the stairwell

Installation is carried out on site by our team once the handrails are ready. We check the fixing points, secure the brackets and confirm that the rail is level and continuous along the flight and landing.

• Verify the wall condition before drilling
• Confirm the handrail height and clearance
• Inspect joints and end caps after fitting

Coordinate access times with the building management so that the stairwell remains usable during the work.

Tips for comparing quotes from procurement's side

When comparing offers, check that each one is based on an actual site measurement and a written specification. A quote built only from drawings may need revisions later. Look at the section size, the fixing method, the finish and whether installation is included.

Ask each supplier to describe the process from approval to installation, so you can compare timelines and responsibilities clearly.

Frequently asked questions

Do you measure the stairwell on site before giving a quote?

Yes. We measure on site so the drawing and specification reflect the real conditions of the stairwell. This avoids errors caused by relying only on plans.

Can the handrails be finished in a specific color?

Yes. We apply a powder coat finish in the color you choose, and we confirm the selection in the written specification before production starts.

Do the handrails need to meet a standard?

Railings in Israel are typically reviewed against the SI 1142 standard. Please confirm exact dimensions and loads with your engineer, and we will manufacture to those requirements.

Do you install the handrails as well as manufacture them?

Yes. Our team installs the handrails on site after manufacturing in our Tel Aviv factory, and we check alignment, fixings and finishing before completion.

Common mistakes to avoid

Requesting a quote from photos alone and skipping the on-site measurement often leads to revisions and delays. Approving a drawing without checking the height, clearances and end details is another common error.

Our recommendation

Ask for the specification in writing, and have your engineer confirm the height and load requirements before approval. Comparing offers on the same written specification gives the most reliable result.

Summary

A proper quote for commercial stairwell aluminum handrails starts with photos and dimensions, followed by an on-site measurement, a written drawing and approval before manufacturing.
