What it's used for
- Staircase handrails in residential properties, accepting standard 12mm or 13mm timber spindles or balusters
- Glass balustrade installations where glass panels up to 13mm thick are used in place of traditional spindles
- Landing balustrade runs requiring a continuous, comfortable grip rail at the correct height
- Renovation projects where an existing staircase is being updated with new oak joinery components
Fitting and handling
Allow the handrail to acclimatise in the room where it will be fitted for at least 48 hours before installation, keeping it flat and supported along its length to prevent any movement in the timber. Secure using appropriate handrail brackets fixed back to the wall studwork or masonry, ensuring fixings are positioned at regular intervals to give a firm, rattle-free installation. Once fitted, finish with a suitable interior oak oil or lacquer to protect the surface and bring out the natural grain of the timber.
FAQ
What size spindles or balusters fit the 13mm groove?
The 13mm groove is designed to accept standard stair balusters or glass panels up to 13mm thick. Most off-the-shelf square-section timber spindles and 12mm toughened glass panels will fit comfortably, with the supplied infill strips helping to maintain even spacing throughout the run.
Can this handrail be used with a matching base rail?
Yes. For a consistent finish, pair this handrail with a matching grooved oak base rail so that spindles or glass panels sit securely at both the top and the bottom of the balustrade. Nottage Timber Merchants stocks compatible base rail profiles in the same range.
Does the 4200mm length cover a standard staircase in one piece?
A 4200mm length is sufficient for most straight domestic staircases in a single run. For longer flights or L-shaped layouts, two lengths can be jointed neatly using a handrail bolt and the natural grain of the oak will help disguise the joint when finished correctly.
