What Is Convex Bar?
Convex bar (feather edge handrail) is a mild steel bar with a rounded, domed top and a flat bottom. The rounded top is comfortable to grip, making it the go-to section for handrails on stairs, ramps, balconies and railings. It is welded or bolted to posts and balustrade frames, and finished with matching convex handrail ends and corners.
