Stairs naturally draw attention in any building, often becoming the focal point of a room. While much effort is put into designing the staircase itself, the handrail accompanying it is often overlooked. However, the handrail serves multiple crucial purposes. It guides the eye through the room with its defined edges, helping to unify or divide different areas. Additionally, it provides essential safety and defines the spatial presence of the staircase, making it feel like a solid object rather than empty space. Considering these roles, it’s evident that a well-designed handrail is essential for both the functionality and aesthetics of a staircase and the room it occupies.

 

What Kind of Magical Handrail Do You Need to Accomplish All of This?

One answer is stainless steel, and here’s why:

Style and Shine

Sleek, Industrial, Modern, and yes, Shiny. Stainless steel has an allure to it which is striking and elegant and can lend a feel of class and modernity to any space. Plus, the visceral reaction of “Oh, Shiny!” is always a winner.

Versatile

Stainless steel isn’t all cookware and car parts; it is a versatile material available in different shines, finishes, and even colours to suit any job. It also has a sort of non-descript appeal which lends itself to use in just about any design yet manages to pop and impress on any stage.

Resilience

There are a great many reasons to choose stainless steel from a material perspective, from its strength to its integrity to its simple manufacturing, but the real selling point here is its endurance. It can withstand elements both living and nonliving, is easy to take care of, keeps looking brand new, and can take a beating while still looking fresh as the day it was put in.

It does the job well

Finally, beneath all the lustre, all the material benefits and the design potential of this material, Stainless Steel is still really, really good at what it does. It has the brute strength and longevity to create powerful, stable structures which last for a long time, and are almost impervious to breakdown, lending itself to being a most suitable material for a structure which people will rely on to keep them safe and comfortable in the long run.

 

All these benefits and more almost guarantee that if you are looking for a beautiful, tough, useful, and long-lasting handrail to accompany one of the most important structures in your space, you can bet that it ought to be stainless steel.
