Slotted Handrails FAQs

What are handrail tubes made from?

BM Steel handrail tubes are made from high quality stainless steel.

How thick is a handrail tube?

Handrail tubes at BM Steel are 1.5mm, 2mm, and 2.5mm thick.

What is the British standard for handrails?

The rules do depend on whether the use is commercial or residential, but according to Section K of the UK Building Regulations, if stairs are more than 1000mm wide, there must be a handrail on both sides. If the stairs are under this width, only one side requires a handrail. The handrail height should be between 900mm and 1000mm, and this measurement is taken from the pitch line of the staircase or the floor.

What is the best steel for handrails?

For indoor use, grade 304 is the general choice, while grade 316 is ideal for outdoor use. In areas with high humidity or within 10 miles of the coastline, grade 316 in a mirror polish is the norm.

Do slotted handrails require sealing after installation?

Not typically. If installed correctly with proper stainless fittings, sealing isn’t required. However, in high-exposure environments, applying a silicone seal around the glass insert may help extend the system’s lifespan.

What’s the typical length of a stainless steel slotted handrail?

 Most handrail tubes come in 5.8m or 6m stock lengths, but they can be cut to size on site. Pre-cut or custom-length options may be available depending on your supplier.

Can I use slotted handrails with curved glass or corners?

Yes, but it requires a segmented glass layout or flexible connectors. Radius slotted handrails or adjustable elbows can accommodate slight curves, but precision is key—always check glass and slot tolerances.

How do I maintain stainless steel handrails in outdoor settings?

Routine cleaning with mild soap and water is sufficient for most outdoor applications. In coastal or industrial areas, periodic use of a stainless steel cleaner helps prevent tea-staining or corrosion on exposed surfaces.
