Strength and Style in Every Detail

A well-crafted handrail not only enhances the safety of your staircase but also serves as one of its defining aesthetic features. Our solid oak handrail with groove is engineered for both performance and appearance, combining the strength of natural hardwood with precision-cut detailing that ensures perfect spindle alignment and a clean, consistent finish.

Whether paired with matching oak newel posts and spindles or contrasting black metal balusters, this versatile handrail complements any interior design — from period restorations to modern builds.

Designed for Easy Installation

The pre-grooved channel is carefully sized to accept standard spindle bases, allowing for quick and secure installation. The underside of the handrail can be fixed directly to the top of spindles using screws or dowels, creating a seamless, stable balustrade that feels as solid as it looks.

Our handrails are compatible with a range of oak and hardwood stair components, including base rails, newels, and caps — ensuring every element of your staircase aligns perfectly for a professional result.

Finish to Match Your Style

Supplied smooth planed and unfinished, our oak handrails can be treated to suit your interior. Apply a clear oil to enhance the natural grain, a stain to coordinate with existing joinery, or a matt lacquer for a durable, low-maintenance surface. Oak’s distinctive grain pattern and warm tone make it equally at home in contemporary or traditional environments.

Built to Last with Sustainable Quality

Every Hardwoods Group solid oak handrail is produced from sustainably sourced European oak, ensuring environmental responsibility without compromising quality. Oak’s inherent durability and resistance to wear make it an investment that will last for decades, even in high-traffic staircases.

We machine each piece to precise tolerances, guaranteeing consistent groove dimensions and a flawless surface ready for installation.
