Product Information

Full details

The Handrails Direct Radway Double Winder Handrail Kit is an ideal solution for homeowners and installers looking to add a continuous, professional-grade safety rail to staircases featuring two directional changes. Providing a sleek silver finish that enhances natural light, this system is designed for both left and right-handed winder configurations, offering a cohesive aesthetic without the visual disruption of joints. While the kit provides comprehensive components for a 2800mm floor-to-floor height, installers should note that it requires precision cutting and assembly to achieve the perfect fit for staircases shorter than 7.2 metres.

FAQs

Does this kit work for a single turn staircase?

While designed for double winders, the components can be repurposed, though you will have leftover material.

Can I install this on a curved staircase?

No, this system is engineered for staircases with distinct winder turns and is not designed for continuous spiral or curved geometries.

What tools are needed for installation?

You will need a drill, spirit level, metal-cutting saw, measuring tape, and a screwdriver or impact driver.

Is the silver finish prone to rusting?

The material is chosen for interior use; keep it dry and avoid exposure to high-humidity environments or chemicals to maintain the finish.

Can the handrail be mounted on both sides of the stairs?

Yes, the components are compatible with either side of the staircase, provided the wall structure allows for it.

Are the mounting brackets included?

The kit includes the core components for the double winder system; ensure you have appropriate wall fixings suitable for your specific wall material.

Troubleshooting

Elbow joint feels loose after installation

Ensure the internal locking mechanism within the elbow is tightened fully with an Allen key or appropriate tool provided in the kit.

Handrail length is slightly too long

Re-measure your staircase distance and cut the end pole using a fine-tooth hacksaw to achieve a flush fit against the end bracket.

Surface finish showing fingerprints or smudges

Wipe the handrail with a clean, dry microfiber cloth; if required, use a glass cleaner on a cloth to remove oils.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Installation process is more complex than standard straight handrails
  • Limited to specific staircase configurations involving two winder turns

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure a secure installation, verify that your wall structure can support the weight of the handrail system, as the metallic components provide significant durability but require solid mounting points.

  1. Pre-Installation Measurement: Confirm your staircase dimensions against the 7.2-metre maximum, ensuring all turns are accounted for.
  2. Cutting: Use a metal-cutting saw to trim the 1.2-metre poles if your staircase span is less than the maximum limit, taking care to deburr the edges.
  3. Elbow Adjustment: Loosely fit the adjustable elbows to the poles to test the angle before final tightening.
  4. Mounting: Use appropriate fixings for your wall type (e.g., masonry bolts or stud-work screws).

Care Instructions: Keep the silver finish looking its best by wiping down the rails with a soft, microfiber cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as these can scratch the metallic finish. For stubborn spots, use a mild soap-and-water solution and dry immediately to prevent water spots.
