The Story
We were tasked with the fabrication and installation of 30mm twisted rope-style handrails throughout a stone spiral staircase within a castle. Due to the curved nature of the staircase, we had to carefully follow the contours of both the inner and outer stone walls. To achieve the required precision, all work was carried out entirely on site. This included the fixing of wall brackets as well as the curving and shaping of the steel rope by hand to match the unique lines of the structure. The result is a functional and sympathetic addition to the historic setting.
"We believe this project is deserving of an Irish Steel Award as it involved the creation of a truly bespoke handrail for a highly unusual and distinctive setting. The work required a high level of craftsmanship and adaptability, particularly given the complexity of the curved stone staircase within the castle. It’s not a typical project — and that’s precisely what made it so memorable for our team. From design to installation, every step required on-site precision and care. It stands out as one of the more unique and rewarding projects we’ve had the opportunity to be part of."
