A carpenter will replace a banister for a reasonable price, dependant on the work involved and the size of the staircase. You're looking in the hundreds, rather than thousands. As with any interior design element though, there's a high end option if you have the budget. Handrail grip tape can be instantly applied on external handrails as well as internal, this is due to the materials inability to retain water, preventing the surface freezing and causing discomfort for the user. Before application, ensure the surface you are applying the handrail tape to is clean, dry and free from any contaminants. Heskins decided that an innovative solution would be a completely new design, something never seen before in anti-slip materials; asymmetrically embossed non-slip surface. The ultimate PVC cover for wooden railings and fence tops. Patented rib system keeps wood from rotting. Available in White and Sandalwood. Handrail grip is becoming an essential component of a modern workplace or public environment, so much so that the UK Building Regulations Act 2000 (part M1 & M2) stipulated that handrails need to be ‘slip-resistant and not cold to the touch’. Heskins has proactively taken this challenge on board and created handrail grips that are unique and possess the solutions to these demanding requirements.

Refresh an existing, perhaps dated, staircase and banister with a coat of wood paint. This creative take on decorating offers a monochrome finish, providing a great base for a colourful hallway scheme. To unify the scheme, paint a staircase in the same colour continuing on door frames and skirting boards within the hallway.

The open space under the stairs here is used to store a laundry basket and a white storage unit, which add to a relaxed and lived-in look. How much does it cost to replace a banister? Our H3418 handrail grip tape was born, the symmetrical pattern of H3418 was chosen as it is aesthetically appealing whilst possessing the high levels of coefficient of friction (CoF) required. The dimpled patterned surface offers something different; for an industrial application, it allows certainty that all existing and envisaged requirements for non-slip capabilities will be met, all Heskins products come with independent laboratory CoF figures. For a manager of a public environment, we wanted a handrail grip that would not be harsh to bare hands and would also offer an attractive appearance that would detract from the setting, the symmetrical pattern of H3418 handrail griptape easily achieves this. They will give your staircase a solid framework, and they are also crucial to the staircase's aesthetic appeal. Finally, it's important to consider newel posts. They must be robust enough to support the weight of the staircase, which they do by maintaining its equilibrium and ensuring its stability.

The plastic film works as a fantastic insulator preventing chill from penetrating to the hand of the user, for good measure we also added an under-surface laminated layer of PET. Benefits
