Case Study :
For the central spiral staircase in the atrium, Woodform supplied and installed a curved handrail, comprising approximately 120m of Bendywood oak 48mm diameter. Woodform’s engineers designed an adaption to the bracket system and a stainless steel sleeve system for the joints to achieve a seamless look.
Bendywood timber used to form tight radius helical shape for a concealed handrail housing LED lighting.
