What Is – A Wreath
A wreath is the part of a handrail, or of a string, which is curved both in plan and elevation.
To distinguish between the two; the first is called a handrail wreath and the second a wreathed string. The term wreathed, or writhed signifying twisted, concave curves in strings and handrails which are not regular or geometrical curves but are graduated to satisfy the eye.

A wreathed handrail is complex as the handrail profile follows a curve and rise whilst maintaining a level handrail.

Wreathed or curved handrails are produced using 5 axis CNC machines to sculpt the complex geometry of the handrail.
