"Metal Stair Spindles" Frequently Asked Questions
Metal is extremely durable and strong making it an ideal choice for spindles. It works beautifully with matching metal handrails and base rails or contrasting wood rails. Metal stair spindles are also incredibly low maintenance making them a sensible choice for busy family homes.
If you currently have wooden spindles, you might be wondering if you can simply swap them for metal spindles. The good news is that this is simple to do and it’s a great way to update your hallway without replacing the entire staircase. Wrought iron stair spindles look stunning paired with wooden rails to create a welcoming space.
