Curved handrails and handrail end caps

Curved handrails & handrail end caps – functional design meets flexibility

Handrail bends and handrail end caps are specialised components in FeNau’s range of bar stock. They complement straight handrails to facilitate changes in direction or clean finishes – and combine functionality with high-quality workmanship. Whether for stairs, ramps, balconies or railings: with handrail bends and end caps, any handrail structure can be designed professionally and aesthetically.

Applications for handrail bends & end caps

Handrail bends and end caps are used wherever handrails are not simply to continue in a straight line, but where angles, curves or defined finishes are required:

• Stairs and landings: Handrail curves facilitate the transition between different levels and improve ease of use when changing direction.
• Balconies and terraces: End caps create neat finishes and prevent sharp edges.
• Railings and ramps: Special curves ensure handrails are guided comfortably and safely.
• Outdoor areas & projects: In bespoke metalwork projects, handrail curves ensure harmonious lines and aesthetics.

Material: S235JR steel – robust & weldable

The handrail bends and end caps in the range are made from S235JR steel. This material is widely used in metal construction because it combines high strength with excellent weldability and formability. S235JR is ideal for further processing, whether for welding, adding decorative bars or integration into larger metal structures.

As the components are supplied in their raw state, you retain maximum flexibility when it comes to surface treatment. Depending on the project requirements, you can galvanise or paint the components to provide the handrails with optimum protection against the elements and achieve the desired look.

Product designs & shape variants

FeNau offers handrail bends and end caps in various formats and radii, ensuring you have the right solution to hand for every project:

• Handrail bends at defined angles: 45°, 90° or special angles for precise changes of direction.
• Gently curved bends: Ideal for transitions where the handrail contour needs to continue harmoniously.
• Handrail end caps: Neat, secure finishes for open handrail ends – important for safety and design.
• Compatible with standard handrail profiles: designs that fit standard diameters and cross-sections perfectly.

Installation & practical tips

Handrail curves and end caps are securely integrated into the handrail profile via welded joints or mechanical fastenings. The choice of the appropriate connection depends on the overall construction – welded systems result in a particularly stable, durable transition.

When planning, it is advisable to determine radii and angles at an early stage so that the handrail routing fits ergonomically perfectly and the handrail is both functionally and visually appealing.

Design & Function in Harmony

Handrail curves and end caps are not merely functional additions, but make a significant contribution to the aesthetics of your balustrade and staircase structures. In combination with straight handrails and decorative elements such as ornamental bars or baroque embellishments, high-quality metal structures are created – characterised by coherent lines and thoughtful design.
