Round bending handrails ø60 mm in Bendywood®-beech

Cost: about 110 euro/meter (diagonal jointed handrails)
Standard size, available from stock

As to the mitre joints, it is important to proceed as follows:

• Drill sufficiently big and profound holes into the handrail ends that need to be jointed;
• Fill these drill holes at both ends with a synthetic resin glue and insert a threaded rod, which diameter should be a bit smaller than the one of the drill hole;
• Press both handrail ends together with clamps and keep them in position until the glue has dried.

The use of a threaded rod as well as the use of synthetic resin glue are both absolutely necessary to prevent the joints from opening up.
