Haldane UK Reach New Handrail Heights

Haldane UK has demonstrated its expertise once more by completing what Haldane consider to be the most complex handrail project they have ever undertaken.

The project in question was a stunning spiral staircase fitted with American White Oak handrails in a luxury private dwelling in London completed to the original design proposals of the architect: Fayette Associates

The staircase, which was elaborated by Bisca, one of the most innovative designers in Europe, incorporated fabulous glass balustrading and profiled handrail to create a spectacular end result.

However as Haldane’s Business Development Manager, Scott Kennedy, explained, the manufacturing and installation of the timber handrails was not your 'run of the mill' project.

"The timber handrails section was specifically designed to follow the glass line however the complexity of the pitch and turns of the staircase left no room for error in some of the most complex components we have manufactured in the 20 year period we have been manufacturing handrails."

Haldane UK is the only timber machining company that can cope with complex components such as raking to raking wreaths where the timber handrail twists and turns through 180 degrees.

Scott continued, “This latest project took our advanced technology to a new level. We had to add another dimension to our market leading manufacturing capability with a component that was a raking to raking and wreathing swan neck.”

The finished product is one which Haldane is immensely proud of with a number of special wreaths and swan necks as well as its usual array of long ramps, drop ends and 180 degree bends.
