Staircases don’t just have to be a feature that get skipped over when it comes to your commercial project. They are something that you know are going to be seen and used every day, so utilising them as an added design feature is a great way to add a little bit of flair to your project.
In the 18th Century Stair Rods were used as a way of securing carpet or stair runners tightly to the staircase. The carpet could regularly be readjusted to reduce the wear from foot traffic especially on the corner of the steps. This means that a lot of older buildings such as stately homes, and theatres already feature stunning stair rods.
Stair Rods today come in many different finishes to ensure they fit in with your interior design perfectly, whether you are designing a modern office, upgrading a stately home, or revamping a theatre.
What Stair Rod options are there?
There are a lot of different options when it comes to stair rods, whether that is the diameter size, the finial, or the finish.
Solid Stair Rods can be found in a range of sizes including 10mm, 12.5mm, 16mm or 19mm, with the suitability of the stair rods mainly being dependant on the size of the staircase. There is also the option of going slightly different with a triangular 22mm face stair rod coming away from the traditional rod.
Many different finials can be found on the end of stair rods. We offer a wide range of finials in our Akeman Collection, including the below:
There are also a wide range of finishes to choose from including Polished Brass, Satin Brass, Chrome, Satin Chrome, Nickel, Satin Nickel, Antique Brass and Antique Bronze.
