Costs for indoor railings / handrails in order - experiences?

Hello everyone,

today we received an offer from the local metal construction company for the interior railing of our 2x1/4 winding staircase. Data:

- The railing runs only inside the stairwell, not outside.
- The railing covers 2 floors and should support the stairwell for 1m on the top floor.
- Material: flat steel, 3 knee braces, 1 upper brace on which the wooden handrail is mounted
- Color DB703

The price is almost 10,000€.

I have never had a railing offered before, but the price shocked me extremely for what is actually a fairly simple railing (steel, not stainless steel, only inside, etc.).
Especially since the handrail for the exterior stairs, just under 2m round steel coated, also seems extremely high at 2,500€.

It seems to me I have hit a very expensive place here.

What do you think? What did you pay for your coated steel railing?

Thanks for your input.

Regards

I have to be a bit embarrassed now: We ordered the handrail from Lidl...
The cost was, I believe, 25€ per handrail, we needed 6 pieces from the basement to the upper floor...
Material: no idea, silver-colored metal, nicely rounded,
The pieces can be extended if needed and must be mounted by yourself.

However, we do not need a railing, just the handrail, which will run on the outside for us. It is not screwed on yet, but unpacked. It looks high-quality and feels good!
There was also a wooden version...

Since we do not have children, the handrail will not be excessively stressed and occasional grabbing to hold on to it will definitely be withstood!

Hello,

here is our stainless steel railing.
Cost: approx. 2500 Euros including installation

Best regards

I personally find that extremely expensive! Especially with straight metal runs without curves/bends or the like. What exactly is driving the costs so high in the offer?

To be honest, I don’t know. It feels like a few meters of steel (not stainless steel), welded together and coated. And in my opinion, the locksmith really outdoes himself with the handrail.

I’m curious to see a second offer, but I’m already looking for alternatives.

What is meant by two times 1/4 turns? That the steps become partially narrower?

Then you cannot simply install a straight railing but actually have to specially craft everything (= the curve). Wood is also involved and has to be bent if I understood correctly?

For two floors, I still find it too much.
