Here's a recent 1-1/2 curved handrail for a client. All the stair heights were under balluster code requirements and the client wanted a simple uncluttered look. Curved handrails take a special patience and require field installation and fitment to make it perfect.
We use a hydraulic tube roller to roll the tube and to match perfectly the outer radius of the concrete. We follow a cardboard template to roll in the shop and mock up post locations with final welding and fitment on site. We've found no other way to match the concrete form radiuses which rarely seem to follow a perfect circle radius making these handrail constructions a methodical and tedious task, but we enjoy the challenge and final product once installed.
