Solid brass Premier stair rods - top quality for those seeking the exceptional
This fine collection of six designs of stair rods is traditionally manufactured with elegantly turned ends and made from solid brass. As such, the Premier stair rods for stairs is a superior quality range. The attractive designs and pristine finishes prove to be an outstanding combination.
Suitable for stair runners and fitted carpets
Each of the six designs in the Premier collection is available to order for either a stair runner or fitted carpet. Simply select the relevant option when placing your order online. The carpet runner rods designed to be fitted with a runner carpet are supplied with hinged brackets, which are located either side of the runners. The rods feature an integral finial either end. For a fitted (full width stair runner) you can choose the Front Fix option with Front Fix brackets; these fit over the front of the rod (only) and are attached by screwing through the carpet into the staircase. The Side Fix option is likewise suitable for a fitted carpet but does not have the decorative finials‚àíit simply spans the entire width of your staircase and fixes to the sides of your staircase.
Six elegant carpet stair rods designs
The decorative finials are an integral part of the Premier stair rods collection, turned and lathed from one piece of metal. There are six designs: Balmoral, Chatsworth, Hanover, Lancaster, Windsor and Woburn. The Hanover has an extra design dimension, being a hexagonal shaped rod. The other five designs feature a cylindrical rod, which is available in the standard 12mm (1/2”) diameter, plus the larger 16mm (5/8”) for wider staircases.

Q and A
How are they manufactured?
This collection of stair rods is unusual in that the six designs are all manufactured in solid metal. Today, most stair rods are hollow but the Premier designs, Chatsworth, Woburn, Hanover, Balmoral, Windsor and Lancaster, are an exception and perfect for anyone looking for top quality stair rods.
What lengths do they come in?
They are all made-to-measure and can be specified up to a maximum length of 2440mm. The finials (decorative ends) are integral to the solid rod and it is the tip-to-tip measurement which you provide when placing an order. For a stair runner fitted up the middle of a staircase, it is standard to allow the stair rod to over-hang beyond the edge of the runner by approximately 50mm, providing ample space for the brackets to be fitted. However, always check the total width of your staircase before ordering and allow a space between the end of a runner rod and the side of the staircase – this is purely for aesthetics.
How do you clean them?
The Premier carpet rods are offered in an excellent choice of ten different metal finishes, including popular brass finishes such as antique brass and polished brass, plus more contemporary options such as black, brushed chrome and satin nickel. Whatever the finish you select, the rods are supplied lacquered, which means that they will not tarnish or change colour over time. To clean them, simply give them a wipe clean with a damp cloth from time to time. If you prefer your rods to be un-lacquered, please get in touch to let us know and we can arrange.
