Customise Your Natural Cotton Bannister Rope

Welcome to the RopeServices UK Natural Cotton Bannister Rope Configurator. Follow the four simple steps below to create a fully bespoke bannister rope, tailored to your exact specifications.

Step 1: Choose Diameter & Length

In this step, you will select the diameter and length of your bannister rope. The diameter refers to the thickness of the rope, which can influence both its appearance and how it fits within your space. Choose the right length to ensure a perfect fit for your staircase.
Length refers to the total length of the bannister rope. If you'd like a drape, please use our drape calculator for assistance. Click here (open in a new tab). Remember to include the drape length in the box below when specifying your desired rope length.
For help with measuring, please see our detailed guide: How Do I Measure My Staircase? (opens in a new tab). Need to convert feet to metres? Click here (opens in a new tab) to use our unit converter.

Step 2: Configure Your Rope Ends

In this step, you will select the ends for your bannister rope. Man Rope Knots: The knots are three times the diameter of the rope. Bannister ropes with man rope knots are measured from behind the knot to behind the knot. Spliced Eyes: Measured from the bearing point of the eye to the bearing point of the eye. The eyes will be served in a matching colour and type to the rope. Spliced Eye and Man Rope Knot: Measured from the bearing point of the eye to behind the man rope knot.

Step 3: Choose Worming

Worming is a decorative technique where a smaller rope is woven into the grooves of your bannister rope, adding a refined, personalised touch. If you’d like to add worming to your rope, please select from the options below. What is Worming? (opens in a new tab).
Note: If worming is selected, the images may not show the exact rope type or colour. We are working to add as many pictures as possible. Rest assured, your rope will be customised to your specifications.

Step 4: Choose Your Rope Fittings

We offer rope fittings in two sizes: Standard and Low Profile. Both designs are identical in style; the only difference is how far they sit from the wall. Important: Fittings are not included by default, so please ensure you account for all the fittings required in your total. Each fitting is essential to secure the rope properly.
Diameter Standard Fitting Low Profile Fitting
24mm 7.5cm 6.5cm
28mm 8cm 7cm
32mm 9cm 8cm
36mm 10cm 8.5cm
40mm 12.5cm N/A
For more information, including FAQs and the dimensions of handrail brackets, please visit Handrail Bracket Information (opens in a new tab).

Step 5: Choose Wooden Mounts

RopeServices UK highly recommends using wooden mounts for securely attaching your bannister rope to the wall. The number of wooden mounts is calculated based on the number of fittings you have selected. If you need extra mounts, they can be purchased individually here (opens in a new tab).
By ticking the box below, you confirm that the configuration of the bannister rope entered above is correct and meets your specifications.

Natural cotton bannister rope offers a soft, comfortable texture that is gentle to the touch while maintaining its durability. It’s ideal for indoor staircases where comfort and aesthetics are key. Cotton’s smooth appearance suits both traditional and modern interiors, blending seamlessly into any décor.

Cotton is also easy to work with, allowing for flexibility in design and installation. Whether you want a relaxed, flowing look or a more structured rope finish, our cotton bannister rope delivers both style and strength.

In addition, cotton is a sustainable, biodegradable material, making it an eco-conscious choice for those looking to reduce their environmental impact while still enjoying premium home décor.

Customisation Options:

  • Diameter: Select the thickness that best complements your staircase. Thinner options like 24mm and 28mm work well for narrow spaces, while 32mm and 36mm provide a more substantial look.
  • Length: Provide your exact measurements, and we’ll create a custom rope to fit perfectly. If you’d like a drape, please make sure to add the extra length to your total measurement.
  • Ends: Choose from traditional Man Rope Knots or refined Spliced Eyes for a polished look, available in matching colours to blend with your rope.
  • Fittings: Available in a range of finishes—Antique Brass, Polished Brass, Polished Chrome, Copper Bronze, Gun Metal Black, Powder Coated Black, and Satin Nickel—our fittings come in both Standard and Low Profile designs to suit your needs.

Worming (Optional):

Worming is an elegant decorative technique where a smaller rope is woven into the lay of your bannister rope. This process adds a unique, customised touch to your bannister while offering additional protection.

  • Worming Types: Choose between Natural Cotton or Braided Polypropylene worming.
  • Worming Colours: Select from a wide range of colours to create a fully personalised design. Whether you want to match or contrast your rope, worming offers an eye-catching finish.

Note: Not all ropes are suitable for worming. Cotton ropes can be wormed, but other types, like Jute or Hemp, cannot.

Sustainability & Eco-Friendly Design:

Cotton is a natural, biodegradable material, making it a great choice for environmentally conscious customers. Our natural cotton rope is sourced from renewable resources, ensuring a low environmental impact without compromising on quality or style.

Care & Maintenance:

To maintain the soft, clean look of your cotton rope, avoid exposing it to moisture and clean it regularly with a dry cloth. Proper care will ensure the rope remains in excellent condition and retains its appearance over time.

Installation Tips:

We recommend using wooden mounts for secure installation, especially when attaching the rope to plasterboard walls. If your staircase has corners, additional fittings may be required for proper installation. For further details on installation and measuring, please refer to our guide.

Create a bespoke bannister rope for your home today. Our Natural Cotton Bannister Rope offers the perfect blend of softness, durability, and style, custom-made to your exact specifications.

  1. David (verified owner) –

    I ordered a bespoke Bannister rope (3.5m and 6 fixings) and was very pleased with the quick despatch and quality when it arrived. The fitting instructions were easy to follow but also recommended the wooden mounts for each fitting which I had not appreciated. It is not clear on the website when ordering, or I missed it if it was. Anyway using my own wood fixings and screws it is secure and looks good. But to save yourself time I'd order the wooden mounts.

    Characteristics Of Natural Rope

    Natural rope is a type of rope made from natural fibers, such as sisal, manila, cotton, and jute. It is known for its strength, durability, and natural beauty. However, when natural rope is used outdoors and exposed to moisture, it can shrink, expand, and rot.

    When natural rope gets wet, it can absorb water and cause the fibers to swell. This can cause the rope to expand and become more difficult to handle. In some cases, the rope can even become permanently deformed. On the other hand, as the rope dries, it can shrink and become more compact.

    Therefore, if you plan to use natural rope outdoors, it is a good idea to allow for up to 15% extra length to account for any shrinkage or expansion that may occur. By doing this, you can ensure that you have enough rope to complete your project, even if the rope shrinks or expands slightly.

    Moreover, when natural rope is continuously exposed to moisture, it can also start to rot. This can happen because moisture creates a favorable environment for bacteria and fungi to grow, which can cause the fibers to break down and weaken the rope’s overall strength.

    To protect natural rope when it’s used outdoors, you can treat it with a decking oil. This type of oil is designed to protect wood and other natural materials from moisture damage, including rotting and warping. Before applying the oil, make sure the rope is clean and dry. Then, apply a thin layer of the decking oil using a brush or rag, covering all of the fibers. Allow the oil to dry completely before using the rope.

    In summary, natural rope is a strong and durable material that can be used outdoors. However, it can shrink, expand, and rot when exposed to moisture. By allowing extra length and treating it with a decking oil, you can help protect the rope from moisture damage, extending its lifespan and preserving its strength and natural beauty.
