For projects that require precise direction changes or sweeping curves, BM Steel offers a full range of handrail bends. These fittings allow installers to form continuous, smooth rail runs on straight or curved layouts without cutting or welding. From bending stair handrails to creating spiral staircase handrail bending, they give fabricators the flexibility to build safe, seamless railings that look professional and meet safety standards.
All bends are produced from high-grade galvanised steel and finished to EN ISO 1461. This manufacturing process provides long-term corrosion resistance, ensuring the components perform in exposed outdoor settings as well as in busy indoor environments. By using pre-formed bends, contractors can reduce on-site labour, avoid weak points, and achieve a consistent finish across every section of the handrail.
Where These Bends Work Best
- Public access handrails on curved or helical staircases
- Long ramps and walkways that require continuous support
- Mezzanine or roof-edge guardrails with directional changes
- Protective barriers for machinery and loading areas
- The versatility of these fittings means they are equally suited to permanent structures and temporary safety rail systems.
Advantages for Trade and Industrial Projects
- Precision manufacturing: Each bend is shaped for a smooth, uniform curve to simplify bending handrails for curved stairs and complex layouts.
- Strong and weather-resistant: The galvanised finish protects against rust and abrasion, providing reliable performance year after year.
- Efficient installation: No welding or heat bending is required — bends join directly with standard key clamp fittings.
- Clean, safe finish: Available in various angles and including handrail return bends to close open ends where safety is critical.
Product Options
- Standard 90° and 135° bends for common directional changes
- Special handrail return bends for a neat, hazard-free termination
- Bespoke bends and radii available on request for unique design challenges
