FAQs

What is included in the Oak HR Wall Mounted Handrail Kit?

The kit includes one premium unfinished oak HR handrail, a pair of matching HR end caps, and the required number of wall brackets for the selected handrail length. Screws for mounting brackets to the wall are not included.

Can I paint or varnish the handrail?

Yes, the handrail is supplied unfinished and is ready for painting, varnishing, waxing, or oiling to match your desired aesthetic.

What are the dimensions of the handrail?

The premium oak handrail has a square profile of 58mm x 58mm.

How many wall brackets are included?

Kits for 1800mm and 2400mm lengths include 3 brackets. Kits for 3600mm include 4 brackets, and kits for 4200mm include 5 brackets.

What finishes are available for the end caps and brackets?

You can choose from Chrome, Black, or Nickel finishes for the end caps and wall brackets.

How far does the wall bracket project from the wall?

The standard wall bracket projection is 70mm from the wall. With the 'patrice' (a decorative plate, potentially included with some bracket types or sold separately), the projection is 85mm.

Is this handrail suitable for outdoor use?

This handrail is designed for indoor use. For outdoor applications, it is recommended to use materials specifically treated for exterior conditions and apply appropriate weather-resistant finishes.

Troubleshooting

Handrail feels unstable after installation.

Ensure all wall brackets are securely fastened to the wall with appropriate fixings. Verify the handrail is properly seated on the brackets and secured. Check if the bracket spacing is too wide for the handrail length.

End caps do not fit correctly.

Confirm you are using the correct HR profile end caps designed for this specific handrail. Ensure the end of the handrail is free of debris and properly aligned.

Finish does not adhere well to the oak.

Ensure the oak surface is clean, dry, and free from dust or oils before applying any finish. Lightly sanding the surface before finishing can improve adhesion. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for your chosen finishing product.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Durable and stable engineered oak construction.
  • Complete kit simplifies purchase and installation.
  • Unfinished surface allows for personalized finishing.
  • Available in multiple lengths to fit various spaces.

Cons

  • Requires finishing (sanding, painting, varnishing, etc.) before installation.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Prepare the Handrail: If desired, sand the unfinished oak handrail smooth and apply your chosen finish (paint, varnish, wax, or oil). Allow adequate drying time.
  2. Mark Bracket Locations: Determine the placement of the wall brackets, ensuring they are positioned at a safe and accessible height and spaced appropriately for stability (typically no more than 800mm apart).
  3. Mount Brackets: Securely attach the wall brackets to the wall using appropriate fixings for your wall type (e.g., wall plugs and screws, not included). Ensure brackets are level.
  4. Attach End Caps: Fit the HR end caps to each end of the handrail. These secure with two included screws.
  5. Install Handrail: Place the handrail onto the mounted brackets and secure it as per the bracket design (often by screwing through the bracket into the underside of the handrail).

Compatibility:

  • The HR end caps are specifically designed for the Jackson Woodturners HR profile handrail (58mm x 58mm).
  • Bracket and end cap finishes are available in Chrome, Black, or Nickel.

Care:

  • To clean, wipe the handrail with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or excessive moisture, especially if finished with varnish or oil.
  • Periodically check that brackets are secure and the handrail remains firmly attached.
