External Treated Handrails: Durable Timber Handrails Made in New Zealand
When it comes to outdoor stairs, decks, ramps and accessways, choosing the right handrail is about more than appearance. An external handrail needs to provide a comfortable, reliable grip while also standing up to New Zealand's changing weather conditions.
At Dominion Handle & Dowel, we manufacture quality timber handrails in New Zealand, including treated Radiata Pine handrails suitable for external applications. With decades of experience in timber manufacturing, we combine practical expertise with quality materials and precision craftsmanship.
Why Choose Treated Timber for External Handrails?
Outdoor timber is exposed to moisture, sunlight and changing temperatures, so selecting an appropriate timber is important for achieving a long-lasting result.
Treated Radiata Pine is a versatile choice for external handrails. Radiata Pine accepts preservatives well and is relatively easy to machine, making it an excellent timber for producing smooth, attractive handrails.
Our handrails are sand-finished, giving you a smooth surface ready for installation and your preferred finishing treatment.
Depending on the project, a suitable exterior coating or finish can then be applied to provide additional protection and achieve the desired appearance.
Ideal for Outdoor Projects
Treated timber handrails can be used across a wide range of residential, commercial and construction applications, including:
Decks and balconies
Outdoor stairs
Garden steps
Ramps and accessways
Walkways
Porches and entrances
Landscaping projects
Commercial and public spaces
DIY and renovation projects
A well-designed handrail not only improves safety and accessibility but can also add a natural, timeless look to an outdoor space.
