Why consider handrail polishing?

Here are a few reasons for keeping handrails in the best natural conditions 

Safety considerations

Safety concerns arise with handrail polishing due to high-traffic areas like stairwells and corridors. Properly polishing and sealing handrails is essential in preventing slips and falls.

Durability

Another challenge of handrail polishing is durability. Handrails are subject to a lot of wear and tear, so a durable finish must be used to protect the wood for years.

Aesthetics

Considering the aesthetics of the handrail is essential. The polish should revivethe natural beauty of the wood without overpowering it.

Chapman Brothers french polishers are experts in all of these areas. They have the skills and experience to polish wood handrails to a high standard while ensuring the finish is durable and safe and looks ravishing for many years.

Here are some specific ways that French polishers make handrails more durable:

  • They use high-quality polishing materials and techniques.
  • They apply multiple coats of polish, allowing each coat to dry completely before applying the next.
  • They seal the polish with a layer of wax or lacquer.
  • They buff the handrails to a high shine.

Wood French polishing is a labour-intensive process, but the result is worth the effort. Handrails that have been French-polished are beautiful, durable, and easy to maintain.

Here are some additional tips for protecting handrails from wear and tear:

  • Clean the handrails regularly with a mild soap and water solution.
  • Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the finish.
  • Apply a coat of wax or polish to the handrails every few months to protect them from scratches and stains.
  • Repair any damage to the handrails immediately to prevent further damage.
