We just finished a sample for a hand railing that will utilize this thick wire rope (1 1/4″ steel cable) as the grab rail. We are fabricating 7 of these for various staircases in a massive home renovation in the Channel Islands (UK)  Three of these railings will follow curving walls or changing stair slopes. While some of these railings are over 18′ in length, the cables will coil neatly into a crate for the voyage over seas.

I was lucky enough to come visit the site while the renovations were underway and I am including a few pictures of the residence. The core structure of the home was built in 1635 and has stone walls that are nearly 4 feet thick. Even a brief glimpse at the masonry illustrates the numerous generations of residents who have occupied this spectacular structure.

There are several other projects that Flux is designing and producing for this home, soon to be posted.
