2" x 0.5" Slim Metal Handrail – Minimal Design, Maximum Impact
Upgrade your staircase with our slim metal handrail, designed for a clean modern look without bulk. The 2" x 0.5" rectangular steel profile projects far less from the wall than a standard rail, which makes it the practical answer in a narrow stairwell as well as a minimalist one.

Is a Slim Profile Right for You?
The trade-off is grip. A slim rail gives you less to wrap your hand around than a fuller profile.
Choose slim if: your stairwell is tight, you want the rail to disappear visually, or the rail is mainly for reassurance and balance.
Choose a fuller profile if: someone in the household relies on the rail for real weight-bearing support. Our 2" x 1" rectangle handrail gives a wider grip.
