6000 Handrail

The 6000 is the foundational contemporary handrail — a clean, low-profile rectangular form at 2-3/4"" wide and 1-5/8"" tall. Its 1-1/4"" plow groove along the underside accommodates standard wood balusters, making it the natural complement to traditional and transitional stair designs. The profile's eased edges and modest proportions give it a quiet, resolved look that pairs comfortably with a wide range of baluster styles and interior aesthetics. The 6000 is manufactured from two pieces of solid hardwood face-glued together, achieving the finished profile height while maintaining the tight grain consistency of carefully matched boards. Designed for interior use.

Why Hard Maple?

Hard Maple is the hardest and brightest of the widely available domestic hardwood species. Its creamy white to pale light-tan tones and an exceptionally fine, uniform grain bring a sense of precision and openness to the handrail — well-suited to Scandinavian-influenced, contemporary, and light-filled interiors. With a Janka hardness of 1,450, Hard Maple is one of the most wear-resistant domestic hardwoods available — standing up to the consistent friction and handling a handrail receives with exceptional durability. Its fine, closed grain means oils and dirt are less likely to penetrate the surface, and it accepts clear finishes and light stains beautifully. Hard Maple gives you a handrail that stays cleaner, lasts longer, and maintains its bright, precise character through years of daily contact."
