INTERIOR HANDRAILS

A beautiful handrail can do much more than provide support on a staircase. The right timber handrail can become a stunning feature within your home, adding warmth, character and a natural connection to your interior design.

At Dominion Handle & Dowel, we manufacture quality timber NZ interior handrails using NZ Radiata Pine and a selection of beautiful hardwoods. Our handrails are crafted from solid timber and sand-finished, ready for installation and your choice of finishing treatment.

Whether you're building a new home, renovating an existing staircase or looking to replace an outdated handrail, we have a wide range of timber options to explore.

Looking for the Perfect Interior Handrail?

Finding the right handrail can sometimes be harder than expected. You may have a particular timber in mind to complement your flooring, staircase, cabinetry or existing interior timber — but finding the right size, length and timber species at your local hardware store isn't always easy.

Can't find that beautiful hardwood handrail at your local hardware store? Visit us!

At Dominion Handle & Dowel, we stock a variety of exotic timbers, premium hardwoods and Radiata Pine in an extensive range of lengths, all available at factory-direct prices.

Whether you're looking for something traditional, contemporary, rustic or completely unique, our experienced team can help you find a timber handrail to suit your project.

No job is too big or too small for us.

A Beautiful Selection of Timber

One of the advantages of choosing a solid timber handrail is the incredible variety of colours, grains and textures available.

Our range includes NZ Radiata Pine and a variety of premium hardwoods. Current timber options include:

KWILA

Kwila is a strong, durable hardwood with excellent working and finishing qualities. It sands smoothly and can develop a rich, golden lustre, making it an attractive choice for an interior handrail where natural timber character is important.

OAK

Oak is a timeless choice for interior timberwork. Its warm, dense appearance and attractive grain make it particularly suited to contemporary and classic interiors. Oak can also be stained to achieve the desired colour and complement your existing décor.

RADIATA PINE

For a more affordable and versatile option, NZ Radiata Pine is an excellent choice. Its straight grain and ease of machining make it well suited to creating smooth, attractive handrails that can be painted, stained or clear-coated to suit your interior.

SALUSALU

Salusalu offers a warm, natural appearance and a fine, even texture. It can be an attractive option for decorative interior handrails and is often considered as an alternative to Rimu for its natural colouring and appearance.

And these are just some of the options available. If you have a particular timber in mind, talk to our team about what we currently have available.

Handrails Made for Your Project

Every staircase and interior project is different, which is why having access to a variety of timber species and lengths can make such a difference.

Our handrails are manufactured in a range of sizes, with diameters available up to 50mm. They are carefully machined and sand-finished to provide a smooth surface ready for installation and your preferred finishing treatment.

Whether you need a handrail for a small home renovation or a larger architectural or commercial project, our team can discuss your requirements.

No job is too big or too small.

Why Choose a Solid Timber Handrail?

There is something timeless about natural timber. Unlike manufactured alternatives, every piece of solid timber has its own unique grain, colour and character.

A quality timber NZ interior handrail can:

• Add warmth and natural beauty to your interior

• Complement timber flooring and staircases

• Create a striking architectural feature

• Be stained or finished to suit your décor

• Provide a comfortable and natural grip

• Be used in both traditional and contemporary interiors

• Add character and value to a renovation or new build

A handrail doesn't have to disappear into the background — it can become an important part of the overall design.
