Product Information

Full details

The Handrails Direct Sambourne Double Winder Handrail Kit is an ideal solution for homeowners and DIYers managing complex staircases with two changes in direction. Its primary benefit is the provision of a secure, continuous support system that perfectly adapts to the geometry of winding stairs while offering an elegant, antique copper finish that complements period-style interiors. One significant caveat is that while the system is highly adjustable, it is strictly intended for floor-to-floor heights up to 2800mm, requiring precise measurement before installation to ensure structural integrity and code compliance.

FAQs

Is this kit suitable for a straight staircase?

While it can be used, this kit is specifically designed for double winder staircases. For straight runs, standard Sambourne components would be more cost-effective.

Can this be installed on a curved wall?

No, this system uses rigid components and adjustable elbows designed for angular, rather than radius, turns.

What is the diameter of the handrail?

The handrail diameter is 40mm, which is the standard size for the Sambourne collection.

How do I determine if I need a left or right turn kit?

Stand at the bottom of the staircase looking up. If the stairs turn to your left, you require a left-turning configuration.

Can I cut the rails to size?

Yes, the components can be trimmed to fit your specific staircase dimensions, provided you use the correct tools for metal cutting and file the edges smooth.

Is the antique copper finish prone to peeling?

When cared for properly with non-abrasive cleaners, the finish is durable and resistant to peeling.

Troubleshooting

Joints feel loose or wobbly

Ensure that the internal locking screws on the adjustable elbows are fully tightened and that the rail segments are fully seated into the connectors.

The rail does not fit the turn angle

Loosen the adjustment set-screws on the elbow connectors to reposition the angle, then re-tighten once the desired trajectory is achieved.

Surface finish showing marks or spots

Gently wipe with a soft cloth. If the copper finish appears tarnished, consult with the manufacturer for a recommended non-abrasive metal polish.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Seamless aesthetic for period-style homes
  • Highly adaptable for double winder stairs
  • Smooth, continuous transitions at corners
  • Flexible design for left and right turns
  • Matches existing 40mm Sambourne components

Cons

  • Limited to floor-to-floor heights of 2800mm or less
  • Requires careful planning for specific turn geometry
  • Antique copper finish requires specific cleaning care to avoid scratching

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To begin installation, verify your floor-to-floor height is within the 2800mm limit and determine if your staircase is a left- or right-hand turn. Always ensure wall brackets are fixed into structural studs or appropriate masonry anchors for maximum safety.

Compatibility

This kit is part of the Sambourne ecosystem. It is exclusively compatible with 40mm Sambourne components. Mixing with other rail diameters will result in poor fitment at the joints.

Care

To maintain the antique copper finish, use only a soft, dry microfiber cloth. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners or abrasive scouring pads, as these will strip the finish and accelerate oxidation.
