Specifications
| Property | Detail |
|---|---|
| Material | Pine |
| Nominal Size | 41mm x 41mm x 900mm |
| Profile | Colonial turned spindle |
| Finish | Unfinished, ready for paint or stain |
| Use Class | Interior use |
What it's used for
- Staircase balustrade infill between newel posts and handrails in residential homes
- Landing railings and mezzanine guarding in both new builds and renovation projects
- Replacement spindles where existing colonial-pattern balusters are worn or damaged
- Period-style interior joinery in older or traditionally styled properties
Fitting and handling
Allow the spindles to acclimatise in the installation area for 48 hours before fixing, particularly in newly plastered or heated spaces where moisture levels may fluctuate. Spindles are typically fixed top and bottom into a handrail groove and a base rail or stair tread using adhesive and a brad nail or screw, cut to the required angle on the pitch of the stair. Prime all faces, including end grain, before painting or staining to reduce movement and ensure an even finish.
FAQ
What is the spacing for 41mm stair spindles under UK building regulations?
Under UK Building Regulations Approved Document K, balustrade openings must not allow a 100mm sphere to pass through. With 41mm spindles, a centre-to-centre spacing of no more than 99mm is generally used in practice, but always confirm with your staircase supplier or building control officer before fitting.
Can these pine spindles be used outdoors?
These spindles are specified for interior use only. Pine without additional preservative treatment is not suitable for exposed external applications. For outdoor balustrades or decking, a treated or hardwood alternative would be more appropriate.
Do I need to cut the 900mm spindle to length for my staircase?
Yes, on a pitched staircase the spindles are typically cut at the top and bottom to match the rake angle of the stair. The 900mm length allows for this cutting allowance on most standard domestic stair pitches.
