Security Can Be Aesthetic: Choosing Stylish Handrails for Your Stairs

If you search the net you can find a large variety of handrails for your stairs. Handrails are a part of indoor remodeling and play a very important role if there are stairs in the house. First of all they should be robust and strong, and secondly, they should give your house an artistic look. Look through the various websites of remodeling companies and their online catalogs with stylish handrails and banisters and then make your decision.

If you already have a design in mind which will make a striking impression on your visitors, you can ask the remodeling companies to make your dream staircase with the help of your ideas. They will then look into the finer details and make a customized staircase for you.

The handrails or banisters of your choice should match the rest of the stairs as well as your house. For example a Gothic styled staircase should have only Gothic-styled handrails.

There are about five standard formats in handrails available. They are straight handrails, bending handrails, returned end handrails, quarter turn handrails and 45 degree mitered handrails. Straight handrails are best if you are on a low budget. Their design is simple and beautiful, yet practical for a small stairway.

The bending handrails look stylish and royal because of the splices that are used. The returned end handrails have returned end fittings at the end of the handrail. You can buy them ready-made, so that you can just unpack and install them.

The quarter turn handrails look more imposing because they are beautifully contoured where you have turns in your stairway. The 45 degree mitered handrails are mitered at a 45 degree angle and are fixed on both ends. A professional remodeling company can help you with the various technical details you should be aware of before you select the most suitable handrail for your staircase.
