Description of the HF-7513 Over Easing
The HF-7513 Over Easing is likely a component crafted by House of Forgings, a manufacturer known for innovative and high-quality stair parts, which Westfire Stair Parts distributes. An "over easing" is a handrail fitting used to transition the handrail from an incline to level rail. This fitting ensures a continuous, comfortable grip for users as they ascend or descend, while also enhancing the aesthetic flow of the railing system.
