Stair ropes, bannister rope, rope handrails and barrier ropes, made to measure in the UK by StairRopes.com

The construction of our polished brass and chrome plated stair rope brackets incorporates a single solid post, and is an improvement over the two piece design intended for steel railings and commonly used for stair ropes. They are available to order in the following finishes:
Polished brass, Mirror chrome plated or Satin chrome plated.

Our STANDARD range of wrought iron stair rope fittings come in a satin black finish with round or ornate base plate.
The ornate base plate is designed to sit in a diamond position when the rope runs at forty-five degrees. (For more information on positioning fittings, see INSTALLING A STAIR ROPE, below). There is a choice of stem design - round section or twisted.
Standard stair rope brackets have a total height measurement of 84mm (for 24mm ropes) and 92mm (for 32mm ropes).

Special finishes for stair rope brackets include gun metal, brushed steel, hammered or distressed, and antique bronze.
Base plates may be adapted to individual requirements and have in the past featured square/diamond, rectangular and curved designs in various dimensions.

Short stemmed or stemless fittings can offer a good solution for narrow stairways and restricted space. Please note that the MANROPE KNOT is incompatible with a fitting that has no stem at all, because part of the knot sits outside the ring of the bracket. The minimum requirement for the 2-ply knot is a short stem, and for the 3-ply knot, a full stem.
The EYESPLICE ending is compatible with any of the fittings.

All our wrought iron stair rope fittings are suitable for 24mm or 32mm diameter ropes.

Modified wrought iron stair rope fitting:
Satin black finish, ornate base plate without stem.

If you are unsure of exactly where the centre bracket/s will fit to your wall, the retaining screws or locking pins which go through the rope can be supplied separately, with instructions, to be fitted on site. To measure up for a stair rope, see our guidelines on the MEASURE page.

Base plates on all stair rope brackets have four countersunk screw holes for securing to the wall. It is essential to make sure that the wall is sound before installing your stair rope.

For chromed and brass stair rope brackets, we provide zinc plated posidrive 'eights' (38mm/1.5 inch long) - yellow passivated for brass brackets. For wrought iron stair rope brackets, posidrive 'tens' (38mm/1.5 inch long) are supplied with screw heads in the appropriate finish. Rawlplugs are 'reds'.

Please note that whilst these screws are suitable for wood, stone and most situations, it is your responsibility to make sure that the wall is sound and that the appropriate fixings are used.

Modified wrought iron stair rope fitting:
Satin black finish, large rectangular base plate.

The square shape of base plate on the wrought iron stair rope fittings (including the ornate) is designed to sit in a 'diamond' position when the rope runs at forty-five degrees; this allows the rope to pass through the square without blocking access to the wall screw holes.

These brackets may be set in the square position as the rope is flexible to allow it, but bear in mind that this will also change the line of the rope slightly at each bracket position and accentuate the drop in the rope between.

It is also worth considering this when you are taking the rope around a CORNER using two brackets: if these two brackets are set at the same height, then their positions will have to be square.

BARRIER ROPE FITTINGS are used with barrier ropes to create a temporary or decorative rope barrier or partition - they should not be used for support. Barrier ropes are available to order in 24mm in natural or synthetic ropes, with brass or chromed barrier rope fittings. For more information, see our BARRIER ROPES page.
